You're welcome Kevin. And your conclusion matches my thoughts. I do like the Mongoose, but I much prefer the General.Pre: Warm water face wash

Cream: Alvarez Gomez Agua De Colonia
Razor: Mongoose (on loan)
Blade: Feather Pro
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Tabac AS

I stayed with the Feather Pro but went back to the heavier OSS handle to try and get the best out of the Mongoose graciously loaned to me by @Barry Giddens - cheers Barry it's very much appreciated.
Well I remain unconvinced, I still haven't had a shave as enjoyable to the ones I get from the General.
The end result is the same as the General but more effort and pick ups are required on the jawline and neck of all places, not usually my problem areas.
Wow, a thermal post.That bowl and brush are hot!P.
It's a bit of an enigma to me Barry, I'll try a Pro Super in it before I get it back to you.You're welcome Kevin. And your conclusion matches my thoughts. I do like the Mongoose, but I much prefer the General.
A genuine cultural icon. I can't believe he's gone.
Razor: Edwin Jagged DE89 (on loan)
Razor blade: Gillette Platinum
Brush: Simpsons Manchurian Captain
Soap: Fine Platinum
Post: Thayers witch hazel and Fine Platinum aftershave
The last razors from selection James @Acer89 very kindly sent me to try. Many thanks James, really appreciate it.
Initial impressions where very good. Nice comfortable shave but it took a number of touch-ups on the neck to get a finish I was happy with. The finished results were good though.
We lost a true original yesterday...

No rush mate. You never know, the Pro Super might be the magic ingredient.It's a bit of an enigma to me Barry, I'll try a Pro Super in it before I get it back to you.
