Straight Feather Goose Focus

January 10



For January I'm focusing on two razors, the W.B. Speed Rabbit TSR and the Mongoose, on loan from @Rufus T. Since the Goose uses AC blades I'm using the Feather Pros.

Razor - Mongoose
Blade - (7)
Brush - Wolf Whiskers Custom Silvertip
Soap - Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post - Cold Water, Alum, Nivea, The Veg

It's finally FRIDAY!!! Yeah, I know, just for me. Strange week coming up, though, as I am off tomorrow as usual but flying to Chicago in the evening. Then I have three days of meetings there and will be home Thursday evening late. Friday is off, then Saturday and Sunday back on. Current temperature in Chicago is 8 degrees. STL is only slightly warmer. Great time of the year to fly North.

Having said all of that it's also time to say that day seven on the Feather Pro in the Mongoose was another great shave. The WW brush and MWF is almost as good as the BoSFat. And, two passes and a bit of touch up later I had BBS to head to work with. I'm still debating the feel of the Goose for me. I love my vintage DE's so using this, while definitely a treat and an incredibly fine razor, almost feels like cheating. Maybe if there was a Russian blade option for the razor but I have yet to find a Russian AC blade. Anyway, great result and......I finished with the Veg again and guess what.....yep......great sales day. Superstitious or not, I've found my A'S. Not only is it delightful to wear it's also MONEY baby!!!

Enjoy your Monday morning as I sleep in a bit. Oops, didn't mean to be rude.
