I use a Dovo Shavette with Dovo/Merkur long blades (black non-combed blade guard) and love it for travel. I do find that the shave can be ever so slightly more harsh than my straights, but hey, I got my start on this thing! I too like to get back to it every now and then, and it does save me a bit of time (or if I am feeling clumsy it saves me a round trip ship and $25). Either way I think Shavettes are great tools for shaving and I think using one in the rotation would be good for just about any wet shaver.
