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.
