    The two gentlemen above have some great advice.

    The only thing I will through in is that shavettes are a lot less forgiving then a real straight so most likely you will not have this issue.

    Also the edge of a real straight is not as thin as that of a shavette blade giving the blade more stability.

    I think you nailed the difficulties with a shavette.

    Every once in a blue moon I shave with one just because I want to know how to do it, but a true straight is so much better for the reasons you stated.

    Straight razor shaver and loving it!
