You may try some sort of pre-shave routine like a pre-shave soap or oil.
Like others have said, light pressure. I've found Wilkinson Sword (Germany), Polsilver, Personna Reds, Personna Med Prep to be good sharp yet smooth blades. It may sound counterintuitive, but the Feather being nice & sharp cuts very well allowing you to use light pressure.
I'd try1 with the grain and two at most across the grain passes. You may have to avoid against the grain all together.
If you post some close up pics of your razor, we can see if we detect anything askew.
