I have heard a new trowel should be used on a rendering job or three to break it in, but I hate rendering so that is out of the question.
You can't render because you are just starting out with brand new tools and haven't got a clue what you're doing.... this isn't the place to be pretending you're something you're not, you'll get found out very quickly and end up looking a prat.
