went through 2 wives so far, picked the right one this time as she has 'gottabuydatpurseitis' and now we compare her purses & my shave gear. Yeah, we are quite the dysfunctional pair. In a good way, though.

The chin is tough, I think a lot of folks feel, they should shave with the whole blade, all the time.
Shave with only, 1 inch of blade at a time.
I too shave my chin with the heel, I shave down to the point of the chin with very little change to my angle. Then Across the grain at the apex of the chin, and then a downward stroke from the apex to the neck. Pretty much short strokes like Jer said.
I shave mostly with the toe and heel and really, only use the center of the blade for my cheeks.
A 3 pass, 2 WTG, 1 ATG and a water cleanup, gets me out the door, in 15 minutes, from start to finish. You don’t have to get it all in one pass.
And more than likely, your edge could always be keener, especially when starting out and learning to strop. Proper stropping can take a year to master, the good thing is, your stropping, edges and shaves will get better.
Chin is a b/*ch... i do inly 1 WTG and 2 ATH... slow and watching the angle os the razor... but impossible not to get to the funny faces wen trying to accomodate
