I would say you have dry skin maybe.   Do you use a shaving brush?  If not, give it a try it should help.

Try an exfoliating the skin with st' ives scrub, then use a quality shaving cream and hot water.  You may also want to make sure that you shave in a downward direction.  I shaved my beard this week and made the mistake of shaving against the grain around the chin area... I broke out. :Xo!

Try shaving oil AND shaving gel. Put shave oil on first then lather up withn the gel. Also if you can manage and have time, weta flannel with water as hot as you can bare and put this on the beard area before the oil and gel to try to soften your bristle further. Fusion is doing a tough beard gel. Might be worth a try for u

How long is your chin hair when you shave it?  Sounds like it might be longer, and your shaving against the grain.  Its easier to go with the grain on the longer hairs, then go against afterwards.

Not sure if this will help but I noticed a definite difference on my own chin when I'd really let my face soak up water vs a quick shower and shave. It's much more pleasant for me to shave when I've let water hit it for a few minutes straight.
