I am curious to know how many of you started on a shavette and then moved over to a straight and how many started right off with a real straight razor. What are the pros and cons of starting on one or the other. Obviously you don't learn how to strop with a shavette. That could be a pro or a con depending on your point of view.

Anyway, curious to see if there are many votes to starting on the shavette.

Thanks.
