Just back off on using the tip (we call the tip the 'toe' and the opposite end the 'heel' (think of a foot)). I think you may be digging the toe in to your face a little. Buying a really square spike point would teach you not to do this :D My first razor has a really spiky spike, and while many would say it's not the razor for a beginner, I think it taught me a LOT, as it's also very, very sharp...What I mean is, I learnt respect. Quickly.
