Shavettes often jump simply because the blade is so light. Honestly, a DE blade was never really intended to be jammed into the end of stick. You might need a firmer hold without adding more pressure.

You may also be using too little pressure... before anyone jumps me, I mean too soft a grip. While you don't want to put pressure against your skin you do want to hold the razor firmly. Gently enough that if it catches or tugs you can feel it and hopefully not get cut badly but you want that blade to slide through that hair. Move the blade with authority. If the skip is mostly at the tip that should fix it. If not, better lather and beard prep will be your friend.

Thanks to all for the helpful suggestions - I've learned quite a bit from this thread!
Try adding some glycerine to the soap B/4 you work it with your brush.
more than likely an incorrect angle
Go to Bath and Body works and pick up a tube of CO BiglowI will keep my eyes open for alternatives to the Wilkinson's as well though, even if just for experiences sake - it's all I know at the moment.
i would also suggest that you look into your skin stretching technique. not to confuse, but this is just another characteristic that can cause skipping.
