I have only ever bought secondhand razors, but that seems to be a popular one for a first razor, just ensure you buy from somewhere that hones the razor by hand to shave ready and doesn't just supply the factory honed, it you will have to send it off for honing.
Of the razors I have I prefer closer to 6/8 but that's just me. Mine are also all different styles so it might be that I prefer hollower or frameback razors.
