Who got a "Goose?

Rob, thanks for the pics, looks like such a simple design, very nice. Which handle did you choose?

Thanks, I choose the DUB Legend. It is 99mm long 15mm in diameter and about 136gm.

How is the handle? it looks slippery.

Here are some comparison pictures. Note - The Dub Legend's polish makes these a bit deceiving. Look all of the way to the edge of the distortion. It isn't a shadow.


Mongoose and Above the Tie


Mongoose, iKon Bulldog, Shavecraft SE


Mongoose and Tradere (Gen 1 & 2)


Mongoose and UFO Kaiser.

The Mongoose/Dub Legend feels much heavier than the others.

Very heavy. Isn't too slippery. About the same as my GEM MMOC.

After months of scouring B&B trying to find info on this mysterious razor I was seeing in SOTD posts, today the Mongoose finally arrived. I had a difficult time getting my camera to focus due to its brilliant mirror shine, but following are a few...as well as some shots next to what has been my daily razor for years. I did take the Goose for a quick shave and it performed amazingly.

Thanks for sharing.I absolutely love the Feather artist club blades and stoked that there will be another alternative on the market.
ps.: where is Huntlee???

Poonjaji, how would you compare the shave to the original Cobra? What is your favourite blade? Thanks

I'll be checking this forum every week waiting for the Mongoose to come out. It looks great.

Its already out, but the first batch sold out. For the second batch: Join the mongoose razor FB or email the previously mentioned address to get on the list. The next batch is due out in Oct, and you have to be on the list to get one.

They're still definitely taking spots for the second batch BTW, I just signed up today.

What material/materials is the Mongoose made of. Is it plated.

It's stainless.

I'm eagerly awaiting my batch 1 'goose to land in Australia!

Still spots on the list for people looking for one of the batch 2 razors, for those interested (I got a prompt reply after emailing the address listed above)

Nice pics poonaji. Mine is being mailed out tomorrow. Gonna be a long few of days waiting for it. Can't wait to try it out.

Is the fatter handle and the slim the same design? (except for the thickness and weight)

The aesthetics are pretty much the same except for thickness.

These are looking better each time I look at them. Thanks for all of the information.
