    Default Alumigoose (Mongoose 2)

    I am big fan of mongoose SE. I think this is great razor and it gives me third best result in shaving after SR, feather artist club SS and then mongoose. So I can't miss aluminum one. Here are some pictures of it. Regular mongoose I am using with titanium handle.

    2nd attempt at a post. Would you go with the handle that comes with the alumigoose or use a different one?

    Haven't tried it with the different handle yet. Honestly, I like the handle that this razor comes with. Quite comfortable for me. Next shave I will use different one and only then I will know for sure.

    I only use the aluma goose handle as intended. It seems the perfect weight and size for me.
    With my regular mongoose I have a variety of handles to choose from.

    but the handles are interchangeable - correct?

    I would think the main reason to buy the Aluminum version was for the weight so to add a heavy handle makes no sense.

    My opinion of course.

    Yes they are interchangeable. And there is quite a variety to choose from with different vendors. Titanium has been a popular choice by users of the Mongoose polished or satin Mongoose. I use a couple of handles on my Mongoose satin that I piped up from Maggards.
