This reminds me of me a couple years ago, minus the one touch. When I started wet shaving, I used the 34C and found it to be a smooth razor but to get a good shave with my thick and very dark facial hair, I was having to make a lot of clean up passes which, irritated my face. So then I set out on a razor buying spree. It sounds like you are looking for a more aggressive razor. For me, this is how my aggressive razor acquisition evolved with several razors in-between over the last two years.
Parker 97R. This guy to me is great for a daily driver for a new wet shaver that needs a more aggressive razor. It's under 30 bucks, has a great weight, has a head like the Merkur but is very much more noticeably aggressive. A feather in this razor today, gives me BBS 3 pass shaves. I still use this often and is the razor I loan friends that I get into wet shaving if and when they say they are looking for a more aggressive razor than their starter razor. As of today, 7 guys have tried it and 6 have purchased after trying it, to me that says something.
Fattip Grande or Piccilo- I sold the Piccolo, kept the grande. The Piccilo handle is just too short. This is an aggressive razor that will punish poor technique and result in blood. If you haven't been wet shaving long, I'm not sure I'd jump to this right now. It seems to be very blade picky even more so than any of the other razors I own. The wrong blade in this leads to a very rough shave and an uncomfortable one at that. With the right blade, it's a wonderful shaver.
Muhle r41- Has become my daily driver more so than any razor I have. I'm glad I got this two years into wet shaving and not right away. This is probably not a razor someone new to wet shaving should get until their technique is learned and mastered.
Ikon Shave-Craft Tech- See Muhle R41explanation... very aggressive and one that I would also not suggest to a new wet shaver.
Another option is a Fatboy Adjustable. This shaves a bit different than the aforementioned because its a butterfly razor, but it will allow you to increase aggressiveness which is a plus. The Down side to this is that prices have gotten ridiculous on these as wet shaving has become more and more popular. If you are going to get a fatboy I would go here. These Fatboys made modern and revamped. You will get a classic that looks modern, has been gone through and refurbished first and will last another 50 years. Further the price isn't much more than what some of them on ebay auctions go for in conditions not nearly as good and of coursed the modern look of these is pretty dang cool.
