The Cobra was an excellent shaver, but I couldn't justify the cost of the razor and blades when I usually use straights, so I sold the two I had. I've been tempted to get the Mongoose, but to make the best use of the blades, I'd have to use them about 20 times in a row, and I cannot bring myself to not use straights for that length of time. :)
