Certainly, there is no reason for you not to be able to shave as smoothly as Joel in the video. But that takes time, practice and technique, more than just the instrument. There is no magic with straights, a particular brand, SS vs carbon steel - they will all give you a good smooth shave with patience and perseverance. Enjoy the ride!
