Thanks for confirming. I heard that original Alumigoose was more aggressive that Mongoose SS.
Not sure I understand why they have swing it over in Alumigoose 2 and make it less aggressive.
My impression is that SE Feathers users, in general, prefer more aggressive style. May be in the future they offer a different head or bottom plate ?
I now have Cobra Classic ( for over 4 years ) and recently acquired King Cobra, Mongoose SS and Alumigoose2 and in term of shave quality Cobra is still the champion and prevails on all the rest. If only somebody can implement Cobra it in solid 3 piece design (not even SS I would agree on aluminium or even plastic). Not that I have severe problem with Cobra locking mechanism, it's just felt flimsy.
I am waiting for new Bullgoose razor to come in summer, pictures look promising, may that will be a "perfect" thing combaining the best of two worlds
Alumigoose2 ( new black one with hexa handle ) - severly mild ?
