Mongoose Owners Razor Society (MORS)

Short answer: No.

Stainless steel blades do not respond to stropping.

Congrats. The Super is my blade of choice in my B2 Satin.

 

Thank you.. Hmm! What could Work? A hone? I have a few small hones. Not good for Stones. I could try running he blade back and forward 5x Times and see what happens haha

 

Got my blades today. But im studying for a test. Shaving always gets very low priority when I study

 

Maybe redfisher could try stropping and let us know

 

@Redfisher it would be appreciated. You seem to think it works, have you done it?

I wonder if @sucker4cologne got his mongoose finally? Would be interesting to see what happened with his latest order.

 

Been using the Mongoose B2 all week with the Feather Pro Guards and its been great.

For those who are interested in stropping your blades, I happened to find this. Dave Irving video of hand stropping. I doubt I will use it. Straight razor stropping is enough stropping for me.

 

Shave of the day



Pre- Hot shower, Jumping Juniper shampoo cake from Lush

Soap/cream- Proraso Eucalyptus and menthol

Brush- Omega S-brush

Razor- AlumiGoose

Blade- Feather Artist Club Professional super(2)

Post- Cold water rinse, Humphreys witch hazel, Lucky tiger bay rum aftershave lotion and The body shop Vitamin E day cream



The AlumiGoose is proving to be an amazing razor! Im getting very very nice shaves.



The Feather pro super has elevated the razor a lot, I get better shaves than with the Pro blades. We’ll see how durable they are, can I get more than 5 shaves? =)



The pro are good blades, but these are better for my coarse facial hair.

 

I have gone through the blade sampler from Tryablade now, and my evaluation runs counter to everyone else it seems. My favorite was the Captain Titan ProTouch. Could it be that my technique has improved since starting with the usual suspects?

 

I had the same thoughts as I started with the Feather Pro and worked towards the obscure. I ended up buying Feather Pro and Feather Pro Guard in the end.

This fifth shave on the Pro blade was NOT the nicest and I got mediocre shave. Maybe 4 shaves is the limit. I'm gonna try and compare the pro and the pro super.



Long time ago I used my whipped dog. initial impression is that I needed to load more than usual. I have used synthetics for a while, plisson and omega s brush. They require less soap for my usual 2 pass shave.

 

My Mongoose Batch 3. Haven't had a chance to shave with it yet but I keep it on my nightstand for home defense.

 

Looks most excellent - and, also, welcome member #30

 

Does anyone know what happened to @sucker4cologne's latest Mongoose order a few weeks ago? Did he finally get a decent one? or did he get a lemon again? I'm just curious to know.
