I've gotten AS close a shave with a straight, I'd say, the thing is the straight razor doesn't leave me with the occasional bloodspots a Slantbar with a Feather blade does.
Machine sharpened blades are nasty suckers.

It absolutely is an amazing shaver and I was convinced that i couldn't get closer. Now... I'm not sure that a straight gets "closer", but I find that I get less irritation and missed spots. Most importantly, I find that I stay smoother longer and when i do stubble up, it's not as prickly as with the Slant/Feather.
