Agreed Jerry.
Many Noobs go VERY easy with VERY little pressure when first applying a straight blade to their face because there is a bit of fear. And in a way, that's GOOD. Pressure and blade sharpness and blade reveal (or angle of attack on a straight razor) all combine to either give you a perfect shave or a tragic shave. The OP Posted that he was still using a DE for his chin, and that's typical, understandable and good practice. Many razor-meisters will tell you to ONLY do CHEEKS on your first few times applying a blade to your face just to get used to angle, pressure and technique. IMO, this is good form. Being able to manipulate the straight over challenging facial areas comes in time, but there is no reason to push this. Using a DE on those areas until you get the skill-set required to properly tackle them is the way to go.
Feather blades in my Merkur or Jagger are miraculous for my skin. BBS every time. But again, I can 't PUSH it. If I let the razor do the work and do a gentle three pass shave with good lather, my skin comes out flawless. Although I prefer shaving with a straight razor, sometimes in life, I just need to grab a DE and get it done quickly. For those times, I have settled on the Feather/Merkur or Feather/Jagger combo for my skin and shaving style. As with all things wet-shaving, YMMV really rings true here.
I've tried all manner of combinations. And there are other blades that are close to a Feather in comparison, but if I had to choose only one, it would be the Feather in my DE as long as those razors I posted were the device the blade was affixed to. Other razors demand other blades on my skin with my shaving style.
