Had an excellent shave again today with my RR GC .68-OC razor (base plate kindly piffed by @nlife earlier this year!). It is quickly becoming one of my all-time favorite razors for sure!

Glad you like it and that you're getting some mileage out of it!

Out of the Borg. Sold gamechanger .68 and .84 oc plate for a Lupo .72 open comb.

I hate to admit it in this thread, but I think the Lupos are better razors than the Game Changers, but I still really like the Game Changers!

Had no problem with the GC's. I have a goatie and Lupo is a little more maneuverable.

The jury is still out for me at this point.

My first RazoRock was the Game Changer .84SB, loved it and then went a little crazy trying the rest of the RR line up. So far I've also tried the GC .76SB and .68OC. Really liked the .76SB for the days I want a slightly less aggressive shave than I get from the .84SB. I likely won't use the .68OC much going forward as it gave me about the same shave closeness as the .76SB but with more biting blade feel.

From the Lupo line I've now tried the .95SB, .72OC, .58SB, and Aluminum (just received the .72SB yesterday but have not tried it yet). The Lupo .58SB is a mild and comfortable option, I need to play around with it more but I'm envisioning it being a decent pick for my quick autopilot shave days, but it's not really comparable to the GC .84.

I need to do a few more side by side shaves with the Lupo .95SB and .72OC but so far they feel very similar to me, both just a tad smoother and more efficient than the GC .84SB. My end results are about the same between the GC .84SB and Lupo .95SB and .72OC, but the shave with the GC .84SB feels just a bit more comfortable for me and I have a little less irritation. It's super close but I think the GC .84SB is still my favorite of the three.

The Lupo Aluminum is one of my favorite razors now, but it's light weight makes it a completely different shaving experience, so I won't compare it to the GC .84. Overall I get closer shaves from the GG .84SB and the Lupo .72OC and .95SB, but the Lupo Aluminum is just fun for some reason, plus it leaves me with zero irritation each time.

I don't really like bladefeel, so I like the Game Changers more than the Lupos.
