    Second go with the Mongoose and it was a better experience but I'm still not completely won over.
    Maybe a Feather Pro or Pro Super would work better as I found it inefficient in the problem areas.
    I resisted the temptation to apply pressure but the extra passes and pick ups have left my skin a teeny bit irritated.

    Thought I'd take a break from the Mongoose and went for a razor which I knew would deliver the goods efficiently and smoothly.
    A great start to the week.

    Oz Shaving contacted me after they read my review. They refunded the total cost of the brush and didn't want the brush back. They apologized for its not having met my expectations.

    My Menthol Monday shave was a great pleasure as well as BBS and super-frigid. The Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap lathered rich, slick, and cushiony with a freeze to end all freezes. The Glacial Unscented balm felt so cold and soothing, not to mention what the Arctique did to me!

    Have a great week!

    Last Night's Shave - 01/21/2018
    Great Shave with my new Lady Friend - The Schick Type L - this purple handle was sold as a Lady Razor - I will post directions that came with it tonight. This Shaves just like all Type L's but the Proline Blade made the 1st 2 shaves wickedly sharp! I just love injectors..
    PEACE - HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!
