Welcome to SRP!
I started with a shavette and I like to think it helped me. I still use it every few weeks. The first shave was still a bit nerve racking. Just go slow and start with one cheek.Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead - Charles Bukowski

Thanked: 220Welcome, I wish I could offer advice with a Shavette, but I have never used one myself. There's plenty of info here, just have to browse around. Good luck!

Hello Whiz and welcome to SRP.
As you already know there is a ton of info here and many members here to guide you in the right direction.
The shavette may be a good way to feel out the straight razor hobby however the shavette is a lot less forgiving and generally speaking offers a less comfortable shave,.... especially for the uninitiated.
The advantage or disadvantage (however one views the subject) is no stropping, no honing, just switch out the blade.
If you can manage a shave with a shavette you are definitely off to the races with a SR.
Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.S.L.A.M.,.......SHAVE LIKE A MAN!!!
