Hello Joe,

Yes, the Joris is a gorgeous razor. This one has the buffalo horn handle. The shave is really aggressive and you need a careful hand. Since my skin has quite a few miles on it, I also do almost as much stretching as I do with the straight. Here, too, the basic rules of straight razor shaving apply: zero pressure and watch the angle. I usually shave in three passes, straight or DE, but with the Joris I cut it down to two and some clean up. Having a tough beard and sensitive skin, I can't handle three passes with the Joris. It's an incredible shaver, but, as I noted earlier, it needs a fully trained hand. Now, I must figure out what to do with my many milder DE razors.
