Shavettes have lower maintenance and are very similar to straights:

I have tried the Shavette thing, but in my opinion they stand somewhere between the Gillette and a cutthroat straight.

More between DE and cut throat, leaning very heavily towards CT. Experimenting with one now: not a lot of margin of error with regards to technique as there is with DE.
