    Welcome to SRP, Max.

    I used a cheap shavette (Parker SR1) while transitioning from a safety razor to a straight razor. It took a lot of practice to get used to the shavette. It is much lighter than the safety razor or straight razor, so it will feel uncomfortable to a beginner. You can easily get cut or nicked while shaving with a shavette. When I finally got a hold of a straight razor, the grip and shaves felt so much better.

    Wow thanks for the info Henry, I took a look at that shavette you used it looks way better built than the one I picked up a a local store feels cheap like plastic not even a brand ... So do you think It would be a good idea to get a better shavette or jump for the straight and learn with it ?
