    welcome to SRP, Pete.

    I'm not quite sure why a shavette will be 'harsh'. The blades are exactly the same as the ones used in a safety razor, so they are sharp and smooth. Now lack of good skill can certainly be a cause for razor burn, but that's true with anything.
    My problem with shavette type razors is that they feel kinda flimsy and the blades are shorter than a regular straight edge. But they can certainly provide great shave. But I'd suggest you try a good straight razor too. From your post it seems like it will fit your temperament, especially a vintage one (but I may be wrong, you know better what you like).
