razor burn is usually from putting too much pressure and having a bad angle with your blade. Here is a good page about getting a good angle the pics at the bottom will help a lot if you dont want to read the whole thing

Safety razor shaving is awful IMO, but it's somehow better than the alternatives. Are you using canned shaving cream? It should work fine, but shaving got way easier for me when I got a soap and brush.
(I have a synthetic brush from Mühle, from what I can tell it ought to be just as good as any badger brush. It was pretty cheap when I bought it too.)

Also I intended to look up instructional videos before shaving so my internet was down and I had no idea what I was doing
