... or your eyebrowsOh well, having grown a beard in celebration of lockdown, not a total waste of money then as I can accurately shape it LOL
It's a shavette ... plain and simple. Yes, there are a lot of Barbers that use these, but that's someone shaving you. Shaving yourself with one of these can work, but the effort involved versus a safety razor versus the risk is simply not worth it in my opinion.
You ask whether it will teach technique ... technique for straight edge? No! Straight edge is a completely different technique which is learned through sense and touch. If anything, this will develop bad technique for straight edge. For a middle-ground, look to Personna type razors that use the long, thicker single edge blades which work particularly well and having shaved with that style a fair bit (as well as straight edge), I'd say it was a much better choice.
Avoid this Wilko shavette for home shaving. It's a novelty thing for folks that don't know better ... or folks that need an exposed edge for beard shaping.
I'm only using the right hand but, I'll give the left a go next time I try. It's only blood after all...Are you using both hands ie right hand for the right side of your face and left hand for left side?
It feels scary at first but it's worth persevering.
