Are you using a truly "shave ready" razor? In other words, was your razor professionally honed, so you are not depending on the factory edge?
It was given to me by a member here, honed by him. This is no factory edge, it's quite sharp. I think I was just coming at it from too wide an angle. My boy-beard doesn't grow in quickly, so it will be a couple of days before I can test the advice given here.
