If I can make a suggestion. I am fairly new as well so I can come at this with your perspective I believe. They number one are correct SRAD will hit before you even realize it so just f e the fact you will have both.... Finances allowing eventually. That's out of the way ..... I have a Thiers-Issard Spartaus 889 in 5/8 with amber tortoise shells ......; it is an amazing razor I also have a new Boker 5/8 and a vintage H.Boker model 1056 in mint condition. The Bokers shave just as good !!!! Let me give you a 3rd and even better option, a 5/8 Ralf Aust ,....... I know it's not TI or Boker , but will shave every bit as good in Germany Aust is considered equal to Dovo and Boker ....... And it is only $99 opposed to $300 and your just getting started ! Use that other $200 buy a good 3" strop a stand for the razor a new cream or soap and some after shave and with the remaining $50 fill your car up with gas. Seriously I own 2 Ralf Aust razors they are top-notch you will NOT regret it.
