Well, I guess patience is a virtue (one that I'm running short on). Moondoggie mailed the King on January 30 via USPS 2-day with tracking and insurance. Right now (Feb 3 at 8 PM), USPS still shows the package as having departed San Diego on January 31 and due to be delivered in Fort Worth on February 2.
I'll keep the thread updated when something happens (or doesn't happen).
The King just showed up at my desk, accompanied by a pack of Dorco blades. Now, I'm doubly excited. I've never used Dorco and, of course, this will be my first experience with a King. Since I have used a Mongoose within the past few weeks, and the Cobra Classic has been my daily go-to for several years, I'm eager to make the comparisons.
Stay tuned! The experience begins tomorrow.
Ken, your observations of the King Cobra mirror my own. I think the King is a step up from the Classic Cobra.
Sorry to hear about the cut Ken, that's never fun. I also wish Classic Shaving would get the King back on the market. I would also like to see just the head be available, with standard DE threads.
