I would always prefer a Game Changer or Lupo or one of their clones over the Rockwell with any plate. They are also not dull grey or pained, but machined in a nice shiny way.From my research, I've narrowed down a potential list:
1. Rockwell 6S: I speculate I might gravitate towards blade 3 or 4.
2. Game Changer: Torn between .68 or .84.
3. Karve Overlord.
4. Yaqi: Considering the dual comb models like Vostok 70dc or 90dc. The idea of having both an open and closed comb together intrigues me.
5. DS Cosmetics x1 dual comb
6. DS Cosmetics S8 or S9 scalloped.
The Karve Overlander got much praise, but no idea, don't have one.
The Yaqi and DSCosmetic models listed are mostly GC and Lupo clones. The X1 is by far too mild, not very efficient.
IMO: Game Changer .84 or DSCosmetic S9 with a handle of your choice or try the Yaqi Vostok 90DC. I really like the 1.05 DC, but there shouldn't be a need to dial up to the max. I am still waiting for the Game Changer DC. For coarse beard an OC might be better, thinking about it. So maybe give the dual comb models a try.
