I've had 2 so far and each has been too mild for me to use. That's a shame. I'm not a collector so I got rid of both of them. I like the looks of them, but I'm just not a collector.
I know of at least one person who loves it.

I have a user grade that I try to keep pretty dry after using. The handle is painted and the paint, while not really coming off more, just seems like it wants to.
I am never shy to say I'm a big fan of this frame - the Jr Bar. I do however prefer the metal handle over the wood one. I had to actually have one to try out however before I could stop wondering. It still is a great shave set up. It kind of reminds me of shovels a bit. A long handle spade works much differently than a D-handle spade. Different strokes for different folks I guess. It is nice to experience them both.
The Jr Bar is a great shaver. Enjoy
You are definitely on the Sharp Side now!

I've shaved with it twice and it's definitely mild. I found myself having to add pressure and change the shave angle to get the desired closeness. The handle is pretty small and goes with the name junior well. I only did two passes both time and it gave me a very good shave, I just wish the handle was bigger and heavier. All in all, I liked it, and it will be a part of my rotation

One of my favorite razors is a long handle version of the Jr. Bar. Love the shave from that thing. The one i have with the short wood handle has some issues but still get a good shave from it.

Great razor! You done good fella. I love mine and also the Elite Gem Jr that I have. That one has a longer handle that the Jr. Bar. Both provide great shaves. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Cool razor! I think this is the next one I'd like to hunt down.
