I shave with most anything edged. I agree with the idea of starting with a DE or GEM and quality blades if you are new to wet shaving. To start straight shaving long ago I bought a shavette and some blades to break in half. I did not ruin my face and was soon buying straights and renewing them for use.
For an inexpensive Shavette, folding or not folding, I did a trade for one of these:CJB Straight Kamisori Razor (Similar to Feather Artist Club)
Not the only eBay Dealer, others' prices are similar to this
With a good longer blade like the "Feather Pro Guard" it is as good as any razor I have ever enjoyed.
Granted, it is not a straight, nor a DE or SE. It is a good way to start straight razor shaving with a quality edge and that edge will last about a week to two weeks.

I have seen articles that say the blade is drilled and can be scaled like a regular folding straight razor.
