Could always go for a Parker or Dovo Shavette style. Basically its the fromm hairshaper, except it is meant for shaving. I just got mine today so can hardly speak to its longevity, but gave a quick shave with it today after work and was very impressed. There are definitely some things to keep in mind. It will be harsher/less comfortable likely than a straight razor, you still have to deal with disposable blades, and the build qualities are minimal at best (people prefer the Parker overwhelmingly, and picking this thing up you can feel it reaks of cheap). Of course there are perks too, you can get the setup for $20, you can always pop a new blade in for that sharp edge (no stropping or dulling to worry about).

Definitely the majority prefer the true straight blade, but if you are enjoying the hairshaper EXCEPT for that tug, why reinvent the wheel? A shavette will replicate it with less tug and pull.

I am a noobie too, but from my research and now having the parker though I would offer that option. I will definitely be picking up a true straight blade and sort of see the shavette and straight as two separate razors for separate needs. Not interchangeable.
