If anything, you might be better off with a higher-angle plane or a scraper.
That said, if you keep the blade razor sharp, set the cap iron very close to the cutting edge, set the plane to take very, very thin shavings, you should be able to get a good finish with a standard-angle plane.
Also, try skewing the plane by 45-degrees. You might find that skewing clockwise works better than anti-clockwise (or vice versa).
If you need to take a thicker shaving to reach dimension, or get below that tear-out, then try planing across the board. It won’t be pretty, but it shouldn’t tear-out as much.
The key really seems to be incredibly thin shavings, though.
I hope this helps.
