One thing to remember is bear preparation. You may want to make sure that you prepare your bear for the shave.A hot shower, pre shave oils and hot towels all help this process. Also the angle used for shaving depends on a number of factors, including: the region of the face that you are shaving, the type and size of blade, the pass (with, across or against the grain), etc...

Also, you may want to take a look at your stropping technique. I think you asked about the stropping earlier but not about the technique itself. Incorrect tropping is the cause of many of the problems reported by new users. I think you can find some useful info in this thread and the threads mentioned within:

Good luck and do not heistate to ask again if you still have questions.
