"I think I’m ready for my next razor"
I have been saying the same thing every six months for the best part of 15 years.
I understand the V3M is very M(ild). Why not try the next one up? The V3 is a copy of a DE89 style, which is still fairly mild but a little punchier than the Tech copy of the V3M. As you already have a handle, you can test the waters for just a few bucks and see how you get on with it. If you decide that you like it, you can then maybe think about getting something else a few months down the line, perhaps in stainless steel.
Edit: My bad, I see you did pretty much what I suggested! Glad it worked out!
