Thread: Ive got the goose

And did you see that tub of arko sneaking in the backgrown????? Everone knows you cant trust a guy who uses that pitiful excuse for a shave soap!!!!

Gentlemen,

Civility, please.

The Mongoose is a new "single" edge safety razor. Everyone with whom I have spoken seems to like it, and some prefer it over the Cobra, it's older competitor. That the Mongoose uses the long single edge blades used in the Feather and similar straight razors with replaceable blades, the shave head is quite long and covers more space on the face. Some shavers like this feature. Although I do not have the Mongoose, I have used it and found it to be a good shaver. Some call it a moderately aggressive razor, although quite smooth.

Curious to how well it maneuvers. I've not used it. While I like the blade choice I am wondering how well it does around the ears an under jaw line. Seems a bit bulky to me.

It is maneuverable once you get the feel of the razor and the shave head dimensions, especially since the shave head is longer than that on the standard single edge or double edge safety razor.

This is actually a very nice razor. I definitely prefer it over the Cobra without question. It is a heavy razor, but it takes no time to get used to it. It maneuvers well and the shaves are top notch!

Have fun.

Right you are, Lynn. The Mongoose is a fine razor, and it takes my vote, too, over the Cobra. I don't own the Mongoose, as I noted earlier, nor the Cobra, although I have tried both, and all this conversation compels me to break down and order the Mongoose.

Strange, but I cannot find a link to the manufacturer.....is there a secret code to put in somewhere?
