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.

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.

I have recently been assimilated into the collective and I cannot understate my love for the GC. I ordered the .68-p with UFO handle am very happy… for now. I’m sure I will add some other options along the way but this razor has exceeded my expectations through the first 5-6 shaves.

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

I'm with you on this, and the Gamechangers have the most feel that I'm comfortable with. After using a couple of my other razors which have less feel, I'm always taken back a bit when I return to my .68-P or .76-P.

I quickly remember however that with this razor, feel doesn't translate into post-shave irritation - as long as you pay attention. The feel serves as a warning system to keep me from screwing up.

I look at this as a "win".

June 2, 2024 Monday shave

Razor: Razorock Game Changer .84P w/Vintage Thin Bar Handle
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
Soap: Razorock New York
Brush: AP Shave Co. 24mm G5A
Bowl: Captain's Choice copper
Post shave: Osma alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer

This was a three pass shave of 48 hours growth. I could have stopped after 2 passes, but had enough lather for another pass. The GC .84P and Lab Blue produced a great shave. Very close, no drama, smooth and easy. No irritation.

Enjoy your day!

I really wasn’t a fan of that vintage thin bar handle.
