Hello,
All the advice around here has been very valuable. I am enjoying the straight razor experience and getting a little better everyday. The shaves aren't always perfect, but they are acceptable and improving. It's very fun to learn and it is a great daily ritual that I would like to continue when i am out of town.

I have some travel coming up and this leads me to a few questions regarding shavettes:
1. As a beginner (about a month in) is using a shavette a terrible idea?

2. If not, what might be an inexpensive yet acceptable one to choose? I like the idea of the DOVO that uses the half DE blades. It would be easy for travel since those blades are easy to find.

3. I understand that there is a difference in angle. Am I correct in understanding that a shavette requires a bit more angle?

Thanks,
Andy
