Depending on your learning style you could be up and running at a fairly competent level in a few weeks. after that it's just repetition as you finesse your skills.
Shaving with a straight razor is not that big of a deal. From the original post I think that he has interest. I say go for it. If you have decent hand eye coordination you are not going to slit your throat or slice your cheek off.

Have patience and don't expect perfect results at first. Fall back on your old standby when needed. Practice makes perfect!

If it was the easiest/fastest way to shave it would have never gone out of style....
