I'm 14 shaves into a Shavette and can recommend it. I believe it is actually more difficult to shave with than a proper straight and less forgiving as well. You will have a lousy time and lousy shaves with it for the first two or three shaves, but that would be the case with a straight as well. There's no point in starting with a real straight and making all the newbie shaving and sharpening (or should I say "dulling") mistakes that we read of here. Get the Shavette, cut the crap out of your face for a week to learn how to shave with it, and by shave ten you'll be able to maneuver it fairly well. The Shavette will also give you a nice lesson on the value of Styptic pencils and how well they work. I'm feeling a tad suicidal so I might even put a Feather blade in mine tonight for my shave tomorrow. If you never hear from me again, you'll know what happened.
