I have one of these and it works great, Amazon also used to sell "Utopia" and it works great as well. I dont know that there are "bad" shavettes all they have to do is hold the blade. From what I've seen here and in personal experience there are just good shavettes and better shavettes.
Before buying my Artist Club, I had purchased this cheap shavette. I was pleased to find the wood scales fit the Feather perfectly. They're screwed together instead of riveted, so very simple swap.
I've been using my SS with the scales from that shavette for almost 4 years now.
I've not tried it myself, but I've heard these fit more or less - judging from the photos you might want to counter sink the holes for the SS pin/bolt. Otherwise, the look fairly similar in shape to the AC DX wood scales.
As an aside, more weight on the scales is not necessarily a good thing as that can cause the blade to want to torque/twist more changing the shaving angle. More weight in the blade, rather than the scales, can be good for a variety of reasons. Of course, the weight difference might not be large enough to cause any real problems and is probably worth the $16 gamble as anything looks better than the stock SS scales.
If you can find it, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shaving-Throat-Shavette-coolcut-Wood-r5/dp/B00GNRC8XG. I personally have a feather artist club that I absolutely love. It's a little more expensive (basically the cost of an SR, but without the associated cost of accessories like a strop, finishing stone, oils or CrOx)
I have a Parker, Sanguine and an CS-102. These are all quite inexpensive units that I bought to give them a shot.

The Parker and the Sanguine are really light. The CS-102 is made with a few other brand names but has a much heavier body that feels much more solid. I use Feathers and absolutely love to shave with the CS-102. I am looking forward to trying out a few other brands.
I recently picked up this one off amazon it uses the same blades as a safety razor
I use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Shaving-Throat-Shavette-coolcut-Wood-r5/dp/B00GNRC8XG
But with no wooden handle, works very well to keep a shaped beard.
any thoughts on this one?
