I have lurked here for a while and as of late have been seriously considering a feather straight. I am pretty good with a regular straight but often don't have time for the maintenance. From what I have read here the DX is particularly unforgiving yet extremely efficient, while the SS is a step below in efficiency but less likely to exhibit regular blood letting.
Also, I am curious why there is such an extreme difference in price between the two. Is the DX really worth 2-1/2 x the price?
please clear this up for me.
