Shaving, Wet shave vs electric

Was it just Feathers that you didn't get on with, or the whole DE thing?
I got a Merkur razor last summer and a huge pack of different blades to try. I thought feather were ok, but didn't really live up to the tremendous hype. My favourite so far have been Asco.

No, I love DE shaving but I found feathers to be really rough. They didn't feel half as sharp as the hype would suggest. I've settled on Astra Superior Platinum, which are smooooooooooooth! They are genuinely a step up from everything else I tried (Dorco, Shark, Derby etc.). Their only annoying feature is that they have gum on them (presumably to stick to their wrapper), which is a ballache to get off your razor. They're also not very expensive, I got 90 for 8p each.
