Greetings from Mongoose,
Thank you for interest in the new AlumiGoose from Mongoose Razors - we really appreciate it. As you may know, the working face of the head has same great geometry as the stainless steel, but it is manufactured of lighter weight aluminum. We have done a little redesigning of the head to give it an even smaller profile and created a nicely balanced hex-shaped handle to go with it.
We are in full production of the AlumiGoose now, with inventory starting to ramp up. Unlike in the past, we will be selling the AlumiGoose through a couple of the online shops (as opposed to the direct Mongoose-to-Customer model we have been using). This will let you buy the razor, blades and any other shave-related things you need in one stop. We will take your name and email (please make sure we have your actual name and not an email nickname or first name only) for your interest in the AlumiGoose. As soon as were ready for market (in the next several weeks) we will contact you, likely in conjunction with the selected vendors, with all purchasing information. Pricing is expected to be about $99 (not including shipping our resellers will determine shipping).
There's no need to respond to this message unless the email you sent didn't include your full name. Thanks again for your interest in Mongoose Razors and the all-new AlumiGoose.
Best Regards,
The Mongoose Team
gotta be patient
Just taken delivery of my Alumigoose today:
Thanks to another great transaction with [MENTION=69514]fasa[/MENTION] it came with a Dr Bomber handle and I'm excited to try it.
I had a Mongoose SS awhile back and although it was a good shaver I found it a bit rough and not a patch on the Cobra Classic.
Now there are a whole bunch of Artist Club safety razors and the truth is they're all good.
I currently have the El Jefe which is just incredible and feels a lot like Cobra, the RR Hawk which is also amazing with a Pro Super in it and the Rocnel SE50 which is quite different in feel and shaves like a supercharged Wardonia.
So I'm hoping that I will find the Alumigoose more aggressive than the Mongoose SS....
I find it way too aggressive for me ! I know you love assertive razors. I hope you ll enjoy it !
This version is a prototype version, i understand that the actual final design is less aggressive and they made the head more nimble.

Excellent!
I see the central post has an indentation to take an Allen key so is it a detachable set screw like the SE50 has?
And when was this prototype head made?
And how, my friend, did you acquire it?
Good to virtually see you guys, David and Marcus! The band's back together...
I've got the current versions of both the SS version and the Alumigoose. To my face, the SS version is more aggressive. It's difficult to use a Super Pro without irritation. The Alumigoose with a Super Pro is a fine shave. I've been on a Gem blade and injector kick for months (thanks, David!), but I have to get back to my 'Geese soon. I'm sure I'll then be looking at the El Jefe, ATT SE2, etc.
