curious if you tried 2 WTG passes? I've had razors that sucked XTG or at least didn't give any noticeable benefit that I eventually did a 2 pass WTG and it was actually better.
If that doesn't work, I would look for a more efficient razor than your more mild one. Unfortunately, I've never heard of it so I can't be much help to compare.
