    At the moment I believe that there is no such thing as "too sharp razor". It could be DE or straight no matter.
    I believe that everything depends on muscle memory.
    Each blade & razor needs its own "touch" and that touch must transform due to many variables like Bart mentioned.
    Some variables to mention
    *lather
    *balance
    *stroke
    *angle
    *pressure
    *soap or cream
    *which manufacturers soap/cream
    *shaving moment
    *your feeling to shave
    *your experience with that particular razor in your hand (muscle memory with that razor and especially with different variables)
    *shaving time (hurry or not)
    *prep work
    *climate
    *your stress factor
    *your muscles stress factor
    *your whiskers type
    *your skin type
    *how many days grown
    *and so on & on & on

    It is not only sharpness thing or how much pressure a man load into the blade.
    But at the end..... it is fun and challenging to learn different razors.
