Thanks.
I hate Facebook. They should think about a real website.
But, I'll have my wife do the looking and buying.It's a dog eat dog world and I have on milk bone underwear.

I've had three shaves so far and am still adjusting to it.
I can't add much to Obie's excellent comments. I'm still on the original blade (feather super pro) and the shaves have not deteriorated at all. With DE's 3 is the limit.
The only thing I have noticed, while shaving the head of the razor almost seems to stick to the skin after the pass and the lather is removed by the razor. Just a strange sensation.
I still think it's bests the R41 in all departments with the added benefit you can shave faster without worry of mishaps unlike the R-41 where you really have to take your time.
I don't have the Wolfman so I can't compare it to that one and I don't know about the hype the manufacturer is peddling however it's just a superior razor in my book.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

Spendur, I agree with you completely. I have noticed the shave head sticking to the skin, too, and can't figure out why. It does not detract from the shave, but you're right, it is a strange sensation.
Oh, you can have the Muhle R41. That is just a mean razor. The Mongoose is aggressive, yes, but it is comfortable and quite safe. I think it feels as safe as the feather despite the aggressive characteristic. I love the razor.

The angle could be the difference. I bought one of these knifes to try out the raindrop pattern. It really works well on stuff like cheese. This is what I was thinking of.
