Straight razor versus a DE - what's your opinion?
I don't mean this thread to be one where we beat each other up - but as I have started to use both types of razor I was wondering about your experiences and how they stack up against my own.
I've gotten used to straight razor shaving and it only took a few weeks. I can even hone one now :) But I wanted to also try to use a DE.
As I was learning to use a straight I found I could get a closer shave with the DE - but since I've become a bit better at my ATG strokes I'm finding that the straight offers more opportunities to angle the blade as and how necessary - I suppose it feels like having slightly more control over the shave. Having said that, if I'm feeling tired after a long day at work I sometimes favour speed over ritual and the DE is a useful second fiddle.
What's your experience?

Straight razor versus a DE - what's your opinion?
I like straights, but there are some cool looking DEs out there and I have gotten some brilliant tips from DE users.
They are razors...all good.
