My Shavette was ok....... I was too stubborn to go back to the Mach3. As with a straight razor the more shaves you do with a Shavette the better. I always had a bit of irritation from the Shavette though. Transitioning to a straight seemed to go pretty well. I have not had ALL of the problems that alot of beginners have. With that being said, I have had my share of nicks, bumps and burns from my Straight but it is getting better everyday and I have not had gashes, tons of nicks etc. Just one or two here or there. Mostly I have had good luck with a straight but I go slooooow and easy.
