I'd keep the TI. I have 2, they both came with great factory edges, totally shave ready. I prefer my TI's over my dovo and Boker's. Just my 2¢, I'm but a humble newb trying to sort things out myself. Also I don know what it's worth but, even if your new, get the razor you want. I know it's advisable to go cheap, but I didn't and I don't regret it at all. Then again in just 2 months I've collected 5 razors and have 2 more on the way.... And I want 2 more after that... Oh man I have problems...
