First, a hearty thank you to all contributors to this site. I just started straight razor shaving this week, and I couldn't have done it without all the valuable info and videos posted here. I'm enjoying my escape from the disposable world tremendously.

Now to my question. The advice I've seen given here is to angle the blade at 30 degrees when shaving WTG, and slightly less ATG. However, on the Spanish websites I've surfed, they recommend as shallow an angle as possible. In the videos, it looks like they're practically holding the blade flat against the skin. Does anyone here recommend one angle over the other?

Cheers!
