Anyone ever used them?
Do they work?
I want to try straight edge but I can't afford the real thing and I have no idea how to sharpen it.

It will work, but it's really for hair shaping, and it may not be comfortable for shaving with.
There are several of these shavette-type razors available, and I know of people who've used them successfully.
However, if you try Whipped Dog Razors, you can get a straight starter kit for about $50. It has everything you'd need.
Also there's a guy on B&B - paco-somethng or the other, who sells a Chinese knockoff of the Feather AC razor and Dorco blades - that's a much better setup than the one in the link. Not sure about his prices, but they're pretty cheap.

Paco is a great dude to deal with. When I tried straights, he honed most all of them for me.

Leo, Phil has a great deal on the Parker Shavette

That's as cheap a price as anywhere. The Parkers are easy to load and they're a good first step to see if you like using a shavette. You can either break a DE blade in half and use it or use these with it

They're blades made for using the Parker.
The SR-1 is a great cheap shavette and works quite well.
