I have the bronze alloy version as well and have been a little underwhelmed with it. Granted I have only had a couple shaves with it but from all the reviews it sounded like a crazy efficient but super comfortable razor. For me it’s just been very very mild. I’m still giving it a chance but I’m with you so far.

My best suggestion is to considered the blade you are using with it. Something that mild could really perk up with a super sharp blade. You can refer to RayClem Blade Evaluations as a guide. See where the blades you are using fall and what may be a sharper choice. Obviously personal results are subjective and YMMV, but it is a good guide to refer to. For me, I agree with some of the blades he considers sharp. If you have them, I would try a Bic Chrome Platinum, Wizamet, or King C. Gillette. I get great results in my "milder" razors with these.

Excellent reference. Purchased some Bics and will give it a shot. Greek razor and blade, who would have thought?
