Thanked: 270I'm sorry, I didn't realize we were talking about safety razors. I was talking about my experience with a straight razor.
I love the 39C and Feather blades, but that's an aggressive combination. I usually use a slant with either Medical Personna or Astra blades.
What I do with safety razors is one pass. I do one side in all directions then do the other side. It's heaven compared to all the irritation I experienced with cartridges and disposables, not to mention a much better shave.
I don't see the use of a safety razor as a "lead in" to straights. If you want to master the straight, use the straight. What I generally do is straight shave when I have more time and use a safety razor when I'm pressed for time or if my face is irritated.
