Ha, ha, ha I bet you are lol (not). I have my own camera and my wife still gives me guff about photographing razors. As far as what she knows I have....well! Beautiful collection. Thank's for sharing!I may take better pictures of one or two of these razors when I have more time. The Tech is particularly outstanding, but, really, all of these razors look far better than any picture I'm likely to take with my phone.
My wife won't let me use her nice camera. Besides, no reason for her to know about all the razors just yet. Bet I'm the only guy with that problem.
Happy shaves,
Jim
They use the same standard Fatip OC head with eleven teeth. The Joris does have better polishing and plating using Palladium which is a semi precious metal. Mine is relatively new and was purchased last December after the Fatip retool. The top cap Joris is using (at least as of Dec. 2016) is still the Mk1 18mm cap instead of the new Mk2 19mm cap. That and the added weight of the Joris make it a more aggressive razor (silky smooth but noticeably more aggressive). My Joris weighs in at a 110 grams compared to the 66 gram Grande. If you order from the Plisson web site directly from France you can get a Plisson/Joris for 139 dollars US. shipping included (at least as of last Dec.). That is definitely a better price point than Frendrihan which also holds true in Canadian dollars. The Plisson website also offers a larger selection of handle styles than Frendrihan.

The blade was a new Russian Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow. I could hardly tell the razor had a blade it was so smooth. It also seemed very sharp.
No plans to do anything right now with these new razors except admire them and show them off. Not forever, of course. I am planning to shave with them, but it will be a good while.
I am not bringing them home from my office. That way I can admire them away from the shave den and not be tempted. Besides it's fun having them there.
I will look at the caps on the LC and SC. I have no idea what they look like right now (and I'm at home).
I've decided that, for much of my neck, the whiskers go against the grain (or with the grain) in two different directions. I could shave ATG going from right to left or from bottom to jawline. Weird, huh.
Weirder still, it may seem different tomorrow.

I'm not sure how aggressive the NEW SC and LC are, nor sure how aggressive a razor I want to apply to my tender neck and its weird whisker patterns.
I ordered 300 of the Greens. Great deal. That many Greens, the way I'll use them, which is not as a primary blade but for days I need extra smoothness, will last me forever.

Thats one blade down. Second choice or not sure yet?
I've forgotten how many times I've said "This Is The Juan". Then 4 or 500 blades later, well I just keep right on finding new and better blades. My consensus? I think most "all" blades are good or good enough for any given days shave.
I'll have to count some day but I must have close to 2,000 or more in drawers I use for storage. Buying 100 blades and not utilizing them's no big deal when you consider the cost of a "Top Shelf" scotch whiskey at a good watering hole. Think of what some of those spills would amount to?
I would of bought some but i just bought 100pc Astra SP for about the same price. That is a good deal for the green 7 o clock and they are the Russian made ones that are the higher rated ones.I ordered 300 of the Greens. Great deal.

All things considered yes, blades are very inexpensive. Dont fumble a blade and try to catch it and DO NOT spill the Macallan! lol
