I ordered a Mamba 70 special from IB late March. This turned out to be an extremely mild shaver, even with a Feather blade. But then I thought, what if the angle is absolutely critical - like a Tech? So I’m doing a Mamba May to see whether I’m going to keep this razor. Not participating in GRUME because I have a beautiful Thater 4125 2-band arriving tomorrow. Will be switching between both my badgers.
Anyone who wants to join me can! I’ll check in weekly.
RazoRock Mamba 70
Kai blades
B&M Seville soap
Thater 4125 2-band silver tip, olive wood handle
St James super badger, tawny faux horn handle
Well, I accidentally grabbed an Astra SS and used it since it was unwrapped. These historically leave terrible irritation from Fatboy, but I was pleasantly surprised today. Super smooth, no tugging, no nicks, mild neck irritation. 3-pass 60% BBS. Will be using Kai blades moving forward.
