I just love it! Beginning to lose my fear of the blades because although they are tamed in this razor, I have memories of old wounds with them in shavettes. As always, confidence and a light touch is all - and a well lubricated face.
The Mongoose engineers have really done a First Class job.
Thanks, Steve.

But perhaps I'm struggling with angles or the Feather Pro blade. Not sure but I hope I get to the nirvana that others have found. Localized irritation (as if I've over-buffed) takes a while to calm down so I'm only a few shaves into the mongoose.
