pretty new to this myself, but, if you make a lather up that looks like whipped cream, and about the same thickness, try that. Also where is your razor from? You may need to have it professionally...

i would say your razor isn't sharp enough, it should carve them down easy, or you have too much angle on blade. A good lather makes alot of difference too.

Only a newb, but i have noticed much better results with three days growth, i just struggle to wait that long, now that i don't nick myself as much.
