Avoiding ACF get_field and returning to core WordPress function

You can use the default WP function get_post_meta to get meta from the post, here is the link to the official documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/

For example get_field('slb_first_name', $post_id ) must be replaced with get_post_meta($post_id, 'slb_first_name', true)
