Three days worth of shaves with the Mongoose and time to properly reflect on it thanks to the generous loan from
@Johnny Bravo.
My first shave was wonderful, I love quirky looking and designed razors and this just looks spectacular. The sheer weight also makes it feel fantastic in the hand and like a real juggernaut. However the weight hides its capability and it felt amazing and smooth. It left my skin comfortable and for a first shave I got an easy DFS. The slightly flabby skin to the side of my Adam’s apple however wasn’t as closely cut as I’d had hoped but for a first shave I was impressed. It is legendary it seems for good reason and probably one of the best razors for in hand ‘feel’ I’ve used.
My subsequent shaves improved and got closer but somehow were not as close as I expected, by the evening my face had definitely got signs of stubble coming through, more than usual. I’m sure with another run I could dial it in further and closer but despite loving it and admiring it’s quality as
@Boycie83 once told me I believe, he didn’t think it would be for me! I am torn as I love the design and would love one in my den but doubt I’ll ever find one and at present I’m loving my Oren, Avenger and Spirit.
Down to Tatara to see what they come up with for their AC in chasing that new razor buzz!
Enjoy the coming weekend guys!
