I just discovered that there was/is a significant difference between the different types of Gillette Fusion blades that I'd been using. The ones I don't like are these:

and the ones that are (to me) just great, are these:
http://www.amazon.com/Gilette-Fusion-Pow..._4?ie=UTF8&qid=1377875857
(Which is sort of ironic, because the first ones are much higher rated than the second...)
I don't know if it's that I got a bad batch or what, but the second ones just literally glide along my skin... I shave in the shower, which as others have pointed out, is better because of the steam and loosening the skin. I tried the double-edged razor that others have mentioned, and that was a disaster for me. YMMV, of course.
