I'm really torn on this one. On the one hand there's nothing like getting and shaving with a brand new quality razor its like putting on a brand new pair of cowboy boots, just makes you feel good all over. On the other hand as a newby buying from one of the regulars here will get you a shave ready razor and you can concentrate on honing your shaving skills instead of worrying about honing your new razor and immediately having to buy hones and all that stuff.
Another thing is that though most new razors need honing to bring them to full potential many still do give a very good shave out of the box (blasphemy). In my experience the Dovo's less so but I have several TI's I got new and they all ranged from quite good to excellent out of the box with the exception of the Damascus.
But I guess if I was in your position for my first razor knowing what i know now I would lean towards getting one from one of the honemeisters here.
