    I find the great think about a DE is that you can go completely ATG on all hairs. I'm more inclined to concentrate on ATG with a DE, as it's so manoeuvrable. I'm a bit lazier with a straight; normally one and a bit passes (a WTG and then a ATG just on the jawline and a bit up the cheeks, possibly under the chin on the neck up to the goatee, but more often not). I prefer USING a straight (I find the DE a little boring in comparison) but I get more of a BBS result with a DE. I love Astra blades, though I also like Gillette 7 o'clock...
