Mongoose Focus Best shave yet! I'm on day five with a Kai blade and I did two passes for mostly BBS. I am a little surprised that this happened on the 5th day with a blade, but I'll take it. This is a very nice razor. SOTD Route 66 Sea and Citrus Doug Korn synthetic brush Mongoose Kai Captain Mild (5) Alum Old Spice AS Happy Friday!
2/11/16 & 2/12/16 Gillette Old Type Vulfix Super Badger (660) Chiseled Face Trade Winds Georgetown G12 Scuttle Pinaud Clubman Original Reporting on two nice BBS shaves since I didn't post on my shave yesterday. I used the Feather for the 3rd time in my Old Type yesterday. Today, it's the Wilkinson sword. The Wilkinson Sword took a little less effort to nab the BBS than the 3 day old Feather. The Chiseled Face Trade Winds provided plenty of slick and creamy lather. Clubman burned like fire both days, but it only lasts for a minute or so before adding that nice warm glow I like so much. Hope everyone is having a good day.
Yes it is. I was starting to worry that I wouldn't be able to figure out the Mongoose. I'm making progress thanks to doing a focus.
Im very happy for you. I've just taken myself off the mongoose list as they E-mailed saying the could only offer the satin finish and that they are stocking vendors soon with alumigoose. I will wait until I can get the very one I want

Those coats are ! Is it like the ones the British and European officers wear? Heavy machinery operators too I think Tom?
We had to fight for them we used to be out in tshirts. I can send you a plain one if you want they are inexpensive. It's not a problem I can get you them printed with anything for $25-30 dollars
Thanks for the kind thought Tom, I actually have one I wear to walk my dogs at night, it's just not as heavy since I'm in Fla.
Feb 13 Focus Shave 9 Today's razor is a Rasurpur Western grind kamisori touched up on a Shapton 16k followed by Dovo red/black paste. The razor was not super smooth nor rough. This razor always seems to take a sharp edge and today was no exception. I finished 3 passes with just a weeper. I thought about stopping there but I could not resist going for the BBS so I did the ATG pass. The alum gave just a little feedback and I just caught the baby. Have a great weekend.
