Try writing your name with your non-dominant hand. At first it will look horrible. If you continue working at it, it will become better. At some point it will be comfortable writing with your non-dominant hand.
Same with shaving with a straight razor. It's about technique and muscle memory. You learn to concentrate on your skin (blade placement), pressure, angle, and then moving your arm in certain direction while maintaining no pressure and correct angle. You learn this for one pass, and then have to learn it for your 2nd and 3rd pass if you shave XTG or ATG. You also become more familiar with holding/manipulating the razor in your hands.
It takes about 100 shaves to feel comfortable having with a straight razor. At about 30 you see a lot of improvement. I would say most that quit, do so before 10 shaves. It can be a rough start.
