Early game is easily the toughest when it comes to ammo/health, because you haven't stockpiled much yet.
Just try to engage zombies from a distance when you can with the pistol. Same for dogs. Listen to sound cues to know when dogs are getting back up and can be shot again (the growl means they're back on their feet).
Use things like tables or furniture to run around zombies, because they're slow, EG: the second floor of the dining room balcony, just run the long way around and the zombie can't touch you, save yourself the ammunition and risk of damage.
If you really get stuck with no ammo, forget trying to fight them with the knife, just take a hit and run past, heal up later and remember where the zombies/dogs are for later so you are prepared. Trying to use the knife if you're new to the game is really risky, and there's enough healing items you can take some bites if you just run for it.
Good luck, I believe in you!

I also played RE1 to completion for the first time this year, although I played the original release and Saturn version not Director's Cut.
I have to agree, I think it's such an excellent game, as you mentioned the tight design of the mansion is quite clever.
You slowly open it up, and then once you've learnt the layout and have your preferred path and maybe even know which paths you can ignore to avoid zombies, you have to revisit it but with Hunters in the mix! Then you have a much harder enemy, but the knowledge of the mansion and the firepower to deal with it. Quite clever game design IMO.
I personally prefer the original over the Remake however, although the remake is an excellent companion. Mostly because while they play similar, I just like the atmosphere and more subtle/grounded approach to the first game than the remake.
The mansion in the first game feels like it was lived in until very recently, and the lab feels very clinical, clean and well maintained. Remake mansion feels too much like a decrepit haunted house to me, and the lab too much like an evil villain's lair. It's not 'bad' per-se, but I liked the first game atmosphere better. I also didn't care much for Lisa, but I might be the minority there.

As for the first 3 games; I like 1, 2 and 3 in that order, but they're all so good it's like splitting hairs. I like 1 and 2 almost equally for different reasons, and 3 I didn't like as much at first, but I discovered there's so much replay value, I'm keen to revisit now.
