Spicy Sunday for the WIN! The GameChanger .68 plate series for the tool of choice. Prep: Hot Shower and Bloom/Lather Building Water Soap: Stirling Spice Razor: RazoRock GC .68 Series(Jaws, OC, and SB)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor Blade: Kai (1)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (No Idea) Brush: Zenith Boar AS: Old Spic Classic (US) ASB: Stirling Spice ASB EdC: Old Spice Classic (US) I scraped some of the Stirling Spice into the bottom of my Captains Choice Heavy Copper, poured some hot water over it while I showered. I poured the bloom water into the VdH bowl with fresh hot water to build the lather from. That lather got slick, thick, and creamy. This is one of my favorite shaves of the week. I can't get enough of it. Between Sundays and Wednesdays I do not know which is my favorite shave of the week.
Game Changer 0.84 Jaws on a Dscosmetics titanium handle. Loaded with a Feather....what a great combo!
Just to bump the thread a bit. Used the GC .84 OC for this mornings shave. Simply a pleasure to use this razor. Married it up with the King C. Gillette Platinum blade and smooth sailing. Heck of a razor and for the money, can’t complain one bit. It’s not a Wolfman, BBS-1 or any of the other great artisan producers with quality made upscale razors like Timeless, Blackland, Tatara, Paradigm and a slew of others. Yet, it’s still made of 316/316L Stainless cut to precision tolerances that are practically equal to those mentioned. They GC series sports a high quality tumbled semi-polished look that won’t reflect your pearly whites in the morning but, it’ll leave you with a shit eating grin on the quality of shave it will give you for a fraction of the costs the high end tools deliver. I have a few high priced shavers in my den, well north of the $200+ price point and they deliver the looks and the performance. The Gamechanger though truly gives them a run for the money in shave performance and make up. Affordable and well made tools that any man would have no qualms in owning. I know I don’t.....
