The wizamet is a great blade. Maybe try the Nacet or PermaSharp. As for the Ares , it is more aggressive it very smooth and comfortable.
LAMBDA ARES BRONZE PASS AROUND

I'm far from an expert, but the reason I don't have the two razors you mentioned is because I don't need that extra bit of efficiency.... and I love the Athena and now that I've had one shave with the Ares, I think I'll love it too.... Neither is ultra efficient... For me, they are in the lower medium efficiency zone. All my Top Razors fit into that upper mild to lower medium efficiency range. I suspect they might be too mild for your needs, but that is just a guess.. and only one man's opinion.
The Athena has auditory feedback for me. What blade are you using? Try a Feather or Nacet.
With 3 days worth of whiskers for a real challenge, I used the Personna blade from the Viking's at the Gate PIF that was a rough ride with both the Lambda Athena and Ares.
With ~5 shaves on the blade, I took it out of my Athena and put it in my Muhle Rocca. with the same Aveeno canned shave cream. With two passes, a DFS with no drama, irritation, or tugging! I did a little buffing for a BBS shave but, that was really needed this late in the day but seemed appropriate for testing purposes with this suspect blade.
In Summary, both Personna blades I tried in both Lambda razors were just a bad combination. I don't know if was a blade tension difference or thinner blade stock, the Rocca simply worked significantly better and was the reason I had a 100-pack of Personna blades from Amazon in my blade cache.

THE ARES PASS AROUND IS OFFICIALLY COMPLETE.
Thank all of you who participated in the event and I do hope you all enjoyed your time with the Ares.
I believe that Lambda does have some Bronze Ares in stock now, if you are interested.
Thanks Again.

Thank you for providing this Pass Around. I appreciated my time with it a lot!
I would also like to express my thanks to @walpan for the opportunity to experience the Ares.
I was using it while away from home and in shaving conditions very different from home. But I found the Ares easy to use and very efficient.
Surprisingly I also found the box quite pleasing and I believe I would use it for daily storage if I owned the razor.
Over all an excellent choice for anyone considering a razor that adds beauty to effectiveness.
