I'm a newbie, just under 4 months, but for me, when I am at the 30 degree angle and use VERY LITTLE pressure, I get the best shaves. I do reduce the angle when moving to XTG and ATG passes. With the full hollow blade (6/8 Fontana) the easy way to know if I'm in the sweet spot is when I hear the 'buttering toast' sound. It is different with my wedge (13/16 Sheffield), I don't get that feedback, but find I get the same results with a more shallow angle...just like Obie said.
I realize what works for one doesn't work for all, but you may find a steeper angle with less pressure giving you good results with extended mileage.Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium
