I am a couple of months in I guess and I cut myself way less with a straight. I can see the edge. I can adjust the shave angle lower if I need to. For me the straight allows more fine tuning and more details I can control for a better end result. Sort of like a race car driver competing with a stick or an automatic.

Give an inexperienced person a DE and a straight and he will do better with the DE. Maybe. The same guy, a few months down the road, shaving alternately every other day with DE and straight, will probably do better with the straight. I think.
