Hi Ryan and welcome to the world of straight razor shaving!!
which TI razor are you talking about? I am assuming you are talking about the Evide Sonnant Extra singing razors. That one is a good choice (either 6/8 or 5/8) but if you are talking of more exotic TI razors (like the sheffield silver steel line) I would recommend other razors.
of course it is your preferance and choice but I may recommend a DOVO best quality 6/8 (half hollow or full hollow) which is a sound choice for a beginner (or advanced, I have a couple in my rotation).It is around $85 about HALF as expensive as an "inexpensive" Thiers Issard (like super gnome or Evide Sonnant Extra).
also you have to know that TI razors rust faster than DOVO razors (both carbon and stainless) and they require more care and maintenance (like drying and oiling the blade after every use).
let me know if you have more qustions.
