    I started with a Parker replaceable blade, and had to learn how to shave all over again when I moved to straights. My advice, do what's best for your face and budget. Just remember there's a learning curve with both types, and there WILL be blood.

    I started with a Dovo Shavette and the shave was harsh, compared to my ameture honeing with a straight even. but it definitely gave me a humble respect for the art. I get good shaves with both now and its nice not to have to strop sometimes

    I found it easier to shave with a straight razor then a shavette. I also didnt cut myself with the straight opposed to the shavette which I always seem to cut myself at least once every shave. the straight also gives a better shave IMO
