Hi guys, I have been lurking for some time now, and had a question. What is your opinion of the shavette? I'm a newbie, and I want to give the straight a shot... but convincing the wife to drop ~$100 (or more) on a razor/supplies would be prohibitive.

Would dropping the ~$25 on the shavette give me a good starting point? Would this be a representative shave?

Let me know what you think.
