I have an artist club, but only take it with me on trips where it would be a hassle to bring a real straight or if I'm traveling somewhere where I believe there's a good chance one of my good razor's might get stolen.

The feather is pretty good, but the same problem with any disposable, besides the obvious, no way to ensure the quality of blade's edge. Though I've tossed very few blades, some have been too dull resulting in jumping and catching. Still, if you're after a disposable straight, this is a pretty good one.

Although a down grade from a quality straight, a definite upgrade from expensive disposable cartridge razors-
I recently bought a nonfolding RG and super blades. I cant believe you hit dull blades! These supers are insanely sharp, like to the point they are too sharp.

I think they are about on par with straights, just different characteristics. Like I noticed even though the blades are insanely sharp (sharper than any of my straights) I didn't get smooth shaves. The edge still felt rough and uncomfortable, like not smoothed enough, got cuts everytime I tried to shave with it lol.

I think your problem of jumping and catching is more a problem of lather not being lubricating enough for the razor to slide. You will feel a dull blade pulling when cutting hairs or it doesn't cut hairs well and you wind up pressing harder or using more aggressive angles and wind up getting cut.
