The jump from electric to straight is a large one, have you considered using a traditional safety razor rather than a shavette as an intermediate step? I only suggest this because I think the general consensus is that shavette's are really quite difficult to use compared to a real straight and that may well put you off.
At least with a D.E razor you still have to master all the basics of beard and lather preparation, developing touch and technique as well as all your post shave requirements and this will greatly help in the transition. I personally found it very useful to have that experience when learning to use a straight razor and there are also many vintage D.E razors out there to choose from should you go down that route.

Correct lather and blade control can be learnt equally well whichever way you choose to go. Do you not agree.
