Me too. The additional two to three weeks for shipment and customs brings the Mongoose delivery "nicely close" to Christmas. Aditional time to play with the other fourty team members, before they are getting benched for a longer period.
My first shave with the Mongoose I used a Feather Pro blade. When I got done I felt some irritation above my lips. At first I blamed it on the blade. I realize now it was my own fault. I was buffing in that area. Meaning one lather application but 3 or 4 passes with the razor. I know now you can't do that. Live and learn. No irritation tonight.
Invoice received and paid for satin head and handles.
Early september i was put on the list and still no invoice for me

I was late August, so you should be up soon.
Received the 'Goose' today. Here's what I used for my shave today:
Razor: Mongoose B1
Blade: Kai Titan Mild
Brush: Morris & Forndran 'Chief'
Soap: Wickham Super Smooth Shaving Soap - Club Cola

Congratulations on the Mongoose. If it is a Batch 1, did you get it used or did it just take a really long time to get to you?
I received mine from Batch 2. I signed up for the Mongoose back in late August. From when you signup the length of time for everyone to receive the Mongoose will be the same. It will probably take around 3 months to receive it. Which isn't bad at all.
I was a part of the M&F 'Chief' group buy which took after payment about 4-5 months to receive. All good things require patience. I won't be parting with the Mongoose or the 'Chief.'
Ok, so you have a B2 Mongoose not B1.
Congrats on your new Mongoose. I would love to hear your initial thoughts.

Looks pretty good with the BBS-1 handle, can't wait to try it.. mine is en route.
Let us know how the shave goes. Enjoy!

My initial thoughts is that the Mongoose delivers a very close shave. However, I don't find the Kai Titan Mild blades to be very smooth. I will try the Feather Pros next and see they work better for me. I will run through all the blades the Mongoose can take before making a final judgment.
So does everyone from Batch 2 have their razor now? It seems they shipped a lot this pass week.

Nope. I haven't even been invoiced.
Still waiting for an invoice, too. Still discovering vintage Gem/Ever Ready SE razors while I wait... which makes having patience somewhat easier.
My B2 Bomber (Satin finish) is enroute and should hit my mailbox today!
Have they been providing shipping/tracking info? I paid my invoice, but have not received any notice that it has shipped.
Still waiting for my invoice too.....
