It's not the fault of anything you listed.
It's technique, experience and user error.
Stock with 1-2 strokes WTG (with your bears growth direction). Do not attempt going ATG (against the grain) until you have WTG mastered.
You'll get there. Even a semi decent shave that is irritation free is a good start. Despite many doing 4-5 passes, you don't need it. I'm 10y in and have tried 1-2-3-4 passes going every direction possible. My go to for the past few years has been one pass, with the grain and done. On special occasions and for my own satisfaction, I'll do a 2nd pass ATG on my neck.
