I really can't say really bad things about disposable straights. They are a good, cost effective way to get into straight razor shaving. They aren't a straight razor though. A nice straight will be a noticebly nicer shave. Personally I'd never do ATG with a disposable, as i cant strop prior to that pass. WTG and XTG. I never do ATG until my third pass. As far as badger hair goes, its an absolute luxury.
