I found that before I started using a straight that I prefered mild shaving DE's. The aggressive fatboy or red tip super speed or the Merkur HD weren't my cup of tea. But now that I know what the blade should feel like on the skin (Proper angle and pressure etc.) I find that if I have to use a DE I will choose a very aggressive one. And because I sold all but two of my DE's I go to my Feather DE with the plastic handle. I find that it is a very good shaver when I have to use it. But it does still cause the odd ingrown. I will use it maybe once every two to three months.
