I'm sure my facial hair is nowhere near as thick as yours, but here's some things I do...
First, shave after taking a hot shower. Make sure there is a lot of steam and that you keep your face under the water stream for a while.
I'm not sure if number of blades actually does anything, but I do think sharpness of the blade makes a huge difference. If your beard is as thick as you say,you may need to change blades after using it only 3 or 4 times.
Short quick strokes and rince off the stubble often. Also, try not to go over the same area 3, 4, 5 times in a row, because after 2 strokes, there is basically no lubricant left on your face.
I've heard good things about the vibrating razors, but have not used one myself.
Aftershave is a good thing, but I wouldn't use anything that calls itself "aftershave." I usually use my wife's oil of olay sensative skin face cream. Yeah, doesn't sound too manly, but it works great.
