Serious Love for the Joris

[xraygun]

I picked up a Palladium Joris on the BST last week and gave it a test run yesterday morning. I was a little short for time but I had 3 days to take off and really wanted to give it a try. Some TFS Tabacco Verde with my Ehsan and a Schick Plus Platinum seemed like good insurance.

I took a deep breath, told myself not to rush and went ahead with 3 passes. Then I went to touch up under the jaw and neck. There wasn't anything to touch up! With amazement, I rinsed my face and found I had the closest, "most BBS" shave I could ever recall. It was truly an effortless shave.

It's just what I wanted the R41 to be, but could never achieve. I still don't need a shave 24 hrs later. I hope it wasn't a lucky fluke!

Welcome to the Joris club.....

No fluke,I got mine from Bullgoose Saturday,very smooth shave,I did my first headshave with it today,and I needed no touch up's.I did a 3 pass face,one pass head shave and I got BBS all around with no irritation or burn.I like my r41 Grande but I feel it's too aggressive for headshaves.The Joris is aggressive but smooth at the same time.

You are making me regret selling that razor.

Not a fluke. The Joris is an awesome razor.

I participated in the Joris tour and was very reluctant to have to part with the razor when the tour was done. Very nice, smooth shaver. I didn't find it "aggressive" at all but it was very, very "efficient."

I may have to sell off a bunch of other stuff and save up to fund a Joris purchase.

As Alex said, welcome to the club.

You guys are giving me a serious Joris jones!!

Well there was no reason to shave yesterday evening or this morning, so I'm going to give it another go tonight. Maybe a little MdC and since I'm covered in dirt and sawdust from topping the cedars I need a good scrub so I'll put the Caravela into action.

After a very luxurious whisky bath, I decided to whip up some of my World Famous Pink Frosting™. Recipe as follows for you thrill seekers: Connaught's LE Rose cream(It's a friggin soap if ya ask me), 4 drops Bulgarian Rose Otto, 4 drops Glycerin, and a half serving of GFT Rose cream. I whip that up in a silver bowl with my lovely Caravela someone here was so nice to sell to me. It's best kept warm in a Silver bain-marie.

Scrub that into the old greasy mug and then lay it on like a Pastry chef. Shave. Wonderful.

I have to report that this Joris razor Paul so nicely sold me is simply a fantastic instrument. Effortless shave. Smoother than an android's bottom folks.

I hope mine gets here before the weekend so that I can take it for a nice leisurely spin around the neck...

[xraygun]

It's the best thing I've driven over a neck so far Turtle. Which handle did ya get?

If you ordered it from Phil it's probably already in your mailbox.

Got one with the simple lined barrel handle.

Beautiful handles! Enjoy!

You know, I was on the Joris tour, too, and I liked it, but more to look at than to shave.
I still believe that the Gillette Old Type is a better value, with an equal shave.

Is there any real difference in the Joris and Fatip head performance? Obviously the finish is nicer and the handle is different as well. I have a Fatip and it shaves me much closer than anything else I've tried but will draw blood if I let my guard down for a millisecond.
