I have ZERO experience with a straight razor and don't know anyone who does so, I probably need one with "training wheels"!

![Straight :straight: :straight:](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/shaving.gif)
I normally use a Schick Injector or Yaqi Excalibur AC. I'm thinking a Feather Artist Club model might be a good option. I'm not sure if this is what is referred to as a "Shavette" but, random references suggest that is a different blade style.
I am pretty sure I don't want to manually strop a traditional straight being a knife knutt with lots of experience with water stones and similar stuff. This has me thinking an AC 'straight' that uses a blade in common with my daily single edge is a reasonable move.
Unfortunately, what I have found online isn't very detailed and is mostly a general "works great" and similar thoughts. So, .....
Apparently, there are three basic model variations which seem to be sort of like choosing a DE blade gap and exposure option. Handle materials are easy to choose but, what about the differences in the razors themselves and what may be better for a straight razor novice?
TIA,
Sid
