Hello SRP forum browsers,
I just recently started shaving with a straight razor and I absolutely love it. My fiancee and friend got me a whole kit for my birthday (strop, brush, bowl, soap, razor) and the razor they got me was a Dovo Shavette. It is great, but I am thinking of moving up to a razor with a fixed blade (non disposable) and was wondering if it is a good idea now or wait and shave with the shavette for a while longer. I have been shaving since the end of march/beginning of april and haven't had any nicks for the past 3-4 weeks.

I guess what I am asking is what kind of Grind/Width I should consider and which Point/Spine is the easiest to control?

I am also thinking of using my shavette without the blade in it to practice stropping, so i can get the motion down without gouging my strop and dulling any blades, is this a good idea or are there some unforseen consequences of it?

I thank and appreciate anyone who takes the time to read my post and help me with my ponderings.
