I've mastered the DE, but have not hit my 100 shaves yet. I look forward to the time when I can choose DE or SR without having to choose DE because of lack of time. In the mean time, I need lather that is stable and slick for 8-10 minutes, for each of 3 passes.
A very large contingent here (myself included) use a DE when we are in a hurry or are not in a concentrating mood. Very few can shave with a straight in the same time you can shave with most DEs and come out unscathed.
