- Get close to the Mirror, and get all those hairs. I personally shave vertical. Meaning I go up and down only, never side to side. I usually have to shave the problem areas twice, even re-applying foamy.
- Heat up a Towel and hold it on your face till the heat dissipates.

General douchbaggery of this response aside I would like to address why you feel that how you shave your facial hair (that is most likely different than mine) in such a way that it is you have a nice smooth shave (with skin that has a sensitivity most likely much different than mine)...
1) I am a water waster, I do not plug the sink, I shave with the tap on. I find this makes it much easier to get the hair out of my razor between strokes. (heh.... Strokes)
2) I shave after I shower. I find this softens the hair to a point where I do not get any where near the skin irritation on my neck I used to when I shaved before I got into the shower.
3) I use one of these, it is a godsend.
4) I shave with the grain of the hairs on my face. This greatly reduces irritation (although someone like you is probably irritated all the time so this wont affect you) and the possibility of ingrown hairs.
5) Any leftover shaving foam is washed off with a warm facecloth.
I also try to save crunching one out in the morning till I am work, because hey, if they are going to pay me to dump, why not??
