Money's always rather tight for me, so my advice to new shavers reflects that. I always recommend against a really expensive razor until you're sure you'll stick with it and you know how to handle a razor so as not to damage it.

But if you are totally comfortable spending that much, it's really a matter of personal preference. I'm not sure which TI you are looking at, so that makes it impossible to say. I actually really like how TI's shave; I find them to be stiff full hollows, and I really like that. I do also like Filly's, because they tend to take very smooth shaving edges for me.
