What type of soap/cream were you using to create the lather? How was your blade angle. Assuming the razor is good, those are the two questions that come to my mind.

As for the answers, a good soap/cream is something of a personal preference, but making quality lather is rather well documented on the forum. For blade angle, try to keep it to 30 degrees. More will irritate the skin and less will tend to pull.
