Good line up and picture Mark.

 

Definitely the 1924 is more aggressive than the 1912...But like you said, if you ride the head and use a light touch they can be extremly smooth aswell as efficient BBS machines....I think you moght be right about the 6 shave blade being the culprit!

Every day is better than the last. Today's shave was better than the last as well. I picked today's soap by trying to find one that went well with the Clubman AS. They weren't a perfect match but good enough. Three pass shave left a closer shave than the day before. A couple more shaves to find the sweet spot on this razor and I think I could get just as good a shave as I get from the other GEM Brooklyn. Final opinion on the shave is, enjoyable DFS, hoping to do it again soon.

 

I have a Schick Adjustable razor, and our local Rx still sells those injector blades in the package. I have a few.... just in case. The Mongoose looks very nice. Does the Feather DX and SS along with the CJB and other injector single edge razors apply here as well? I didn't read all of the previous 886 pages before this.... forgive me.

 

Hi Dan. I have found that the Feather Pro works best for me in my Mongoose B2.
