Shaving Angle

[ozone]

Ok guys. Sorry if this has been posted before but as a new DE shaver, I'm confused as to proper razor angle.

I know that every razor is different, but the general rule of thumb that I see come up is a 30 degree angle to the face as a start.

So is that a 30 degree angle to the face for the actual blade, or is that a 30 degree angle for the razor handle?

I'm currently using a Feather Stainless Steel and getting a pretty close shave, but not as close a shave as I would like.

What I do is place the safety bar/open comb perpendicular to my face and the handle is straight down. I then change the angle until the razor blade contacts the face.

Well I found a link to some actual pictures. I think I have a better idea now. However I would sure appreciate any specific advice on using the Feather SS.
