ok, its a good start to learn without the need to hone and strop. And Its allways nice to hace a shavette later if you are in a hurry or traveling without a strop. I have been using straight razors for 3 years now and still uses my shavette sometinmes (which I started with). It may not be so common to change the scale on a shavette but its not a bad idea, go for a nice scale if you got the money and time.
