If the answer is no and you are still enjoying yourself then what's the hurry. You might even be able to save some money that way, too . I certainly don't want to dissuade you from buying a real straight, that is not my intention...

BTW - you could always buy a low cost shave ready blade from the classifeds, which would leave plenty of money for a quality strop and perhaps an extra or two. Just a thought.
All of the above. I have tons of irritation and the shave feels uncomfortable. I know this is common with beginners, but I just think a straight razor would be better in the long run. The shavette just doesn't feel like a well built razor.
