It sounds like you are a "natural" to being SLY BALD - -Welcome and enjoy the wonderful feeling of being BALD
Try different products and you will eventually find shaving cream and a razor that fits and feels well - - -
I use the Schick Xtreme 3 comfort plus razor and Gillette Fusion proglide shave gel - -I change off with ALBA Botanica natural VERY EMOLLIENT cream shave (to be found only in the "natural food section" of a super maket or a health store
