First, to whomever has in their signature line, "When you're sure it's not your technique - it's probably your technique," that comment has been the recurring theme of my introduction to DE shaving. 
Second, I struggle mightily with shaving my chin - specifically the hairs where the chin slopes inwards from the frontal plane of the face. I have tried different razors/blades/techniques, and over the past 2 days tried something with better than usual results. Here it is -
1) Bring your lower lip up and into yourmouth as much as possible and hold it. That brings up some of the chin skin to the frontal plane, and with very gentle blade buffing North to South using extremely short strokes and no pressure shave the area (I go from the middle outwards).
2) Change facial contortions to pushing your chin outwards, which brings some chin skin under the jaw/flatter plane, and again with very gently blade buffing (I go North to South) using extremely short strokes and no pressure shave the area.
I have found that this works better for me than any other technique I have tried to date.
One caveat - for me, the best chin shave I ever get is if I can mystically get my razor to stay in perfect alignment going North to South from the face to under the chin in one smooth stroke. This works beautifully but is impossible for me to do consistently at this stage of my experience and also catches on thicker hairs.
A special thanks to Marco for Marco's Method, which I tried today and was rewarded with some wonderful lather. I couldn't get the air buibbles out as much as I would have liked, but I had enough lather for 3 passes which is actually unusual for me.
