Though sometimes I can really be in the mood or whatever and then I don't mind.

Sometimes I think I should try a DE because I never used one, but then I think nah if I'm going to use a DE I may as well just use the M3.
They really are different. A DE is not a Mach 3.

My suggestion would be to shave every other day with a traditional straight. I've found, if you make it an endeavor for its own sake, you get better really fast. I also try to go for a comfy shave first. Closeness kind of comes by itself. Be gentle with yourself. Just my opinions here
