I don't agree with you at all. With a feather type you know the blade is as sharp as possible (it's really a big razor blade) so if you don't get a good shave it's not the razor it has to be your technique. With a straight there are a variety of reasons you are not getting a great shave and the razor is the first thing we ask folks to check to make sure it is proper sharp and your stropping isn't damaging the edge. After that technique comes into play as a big factor. Prep and all that are way more minor issues.
So there is no double standard. If it seems like we treat one differently it's because they are different and de facto differences are just the way it is.
It's a trade off. The convenience of having a perfect edge all the time and no stropping or honing vs a much more unforgiving blade. Some would see it as a plus and some (mostly straight users) would see it as a liability.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero
