They are a handy thing to have around, though I much prefer my cut-throats...But that's just a personal thing. As far as skin problems go, you might find the best thing you do for yourself, regardless of the scraping tool used, is getting yourself a shaving brush and some proper shaving soap or cream. Ed as already mentioned some decent cheap ones in Fauldings and Parmolive, there are better out there, but they are good to kick off with for a budget conscious beginner.
As my mate Havachat would say, Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.
