Never found a feather blade shaves me closer than a straight so I'd say too sharp is better explained as inadequately polished or a less refined edge. The straight has the advantage that it can be honed/polished & stropped more than any DE blade. A machine made blade is not so fine & compensated for with coatings to hide that fact. The angle thing plays a part tho. Even a well honed straight will not be comfortable at too high an angle.
