Read and ask questions mainly but between the TI or Dovo I don't think you can go wrong as both are highly favored and respected. Now that comes with a caveat of the razor is presumably "honed" and shave ready. But if you have yet to buy I would look very close to a basic razor < in other words no fancy scales or engravings and such. That razor would be a Ralf Aust 5/8 with the black acrylic scales with a the round toe profile. This razor if bought from SRD is I believe $103 and will come truly shave ready and makes a nice first or even a nice razor for the rotation in any man's stable! Good luck and report back to us when you decide what to get. You will also want a leather strop for daily maintaining. I don't shave daily myself but I know a lot here do.
