Pressing with anything more than light pressure can prematurely dull the cutting heads in foil razors, and also cause the foil to wear out more quickly. Maybe your electric just needs new cutting heads?
If shaving ATG is causing a problem, hyperwarp made a post a long time ago describing shaving at an angle XTG. I forget the exact technique, but recall that it gave a BBS shave. Maybe that would work?
Hyperwarp, do you remember what that shaving approach was? I remember it used long strokes with the razor at an angle.
