My angle was so shallow, that the curve of the hollow blade was pressing into my skin (probably too much pressure also), and the semi dried puck soap after wiping the majority off was thin, dried quickly, and was sticky, and so the smooth part of the blade was actually sticking to the clean spot where the edge of the razor had just made the pass. I found that by rinsing the blade off, and leaving lots of water on the blade when I was going to do another pass helped tremendously. I don't have the problem any more. Hopefully that will help, and if not you, maybe someone else will read it and figure it out before exploding their mind over it like I did :)
Another tip, that I had an epiphany over, is watch your scales to determine your angle, not the blade. They are relative, and it's easier to see your angle over 4 inches of scale than it is to see it over 6/8 of a blade. Hope that helps!
