I think one of my boars is Omega, but I don't have a Semagogue(yet).

 

Right, maybe I misread that some.

It's the same as my PAA Symmetry except for the handle, both shave the same more aggressive than a Gillette Red Tip. What do you mean when you said you want it to take your name?

hi, I was just trying to be cute, you know - its named the name-taker - I want an open comb one but paa doesn't seem to be in a hurry to restock, maybe I should of said I want it to take my mane, as in remove the growth.

 

man o man, I want an open comb game changer as well!! The darn 800 minimus thing is killing me! Italian Barber is one of my favorite shops. Michael told me they’ll be coming out with an 1.05 oc game changer very soon which I also want but would settle for the .85 oc as well.

 

Thats a sweet ride right there! I’ve enjoyed using iridium blades. I’ve got a T3 and do really like those Simpsons soft bristles and good backbone. Don’t you just love those Stirling Soap samples? I’ve got like a dozen. I press them into empty tubs then bloom, load and lather in a bowl or go right to the face, they last like forever. I don’t think I would ever have a need to buy a whole tub unless if I wanted a scent that they didn’t have a sample of I guess. I did use up a barbershop sample and a 1/2 sample of Haverford that Rod threw in for me on one order a while back. And now they are out of Haverford. I’d like to know the name of the company that bought out the company that Rod was getting Executive man and Haverford fragrances from so I could boycott them. I don't like the way they kicked Rod to the curb because he's not big enough. I’ve heard mixed reviews about that Texas on fire scent. How do you like it on a scale of 1-10?

 

Well, a very nice Throwback Thursday shave this morning. I forgot to mention yesterday that the Stephan Shave Cream I used is brushless. It's quite good when done right. I didn't QUITE use it the right way this morning(for me, anyway). I need to scoop it out with my right hand, the way I spray canned foam. I went in with my left hand, and immediately felt awkward. It's a job for a righty. Actually., I'm a leftie in most activities I do, but that includes spraying canned shave foam-course that would go into my right hand. ANYWAY, all was fine once I got re-acclimated. I missed some areas I usually get(right side of North Porcupine-just below the nose-and BOTH corners of the jaws). No damage-that was good. One pass. Nice close with Stephan Bay Rum A.S. (Note-before the shave, I groomed my hair with Stephan Gel). Pretty Outstanding(for the shave).

 

OK I thought I missed something in the last 8 years.

This Game Changer OC is a very good shaver, I think you will enjoy it very much.

Hi Friends,

Here my belated Shave of the Day (01.10.2025)


Razor: Mühle Rocca // Blade: RK Shaving Pro Edge Platinum (2) // Soap: Bundubeard Rolling Rooibos // Brush: Shavemac // Aftershave: Witch Hazel - Stetson

Rolling Rooibis so far the best scent and lather out the soaps i have tested so far. 10 seconds of loading were enough for more than 3 passes. Tons of glide and cushion, so the Rocca had time to shine again.

2,5 were need to get smooth like a Baby´s butt. No irritations or anything. Applied some Witch Hazel followed by my beloved Stetson Aftershave to end this joyful shave,

A 10 out of 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
