Shave #3 in the books.

Today though I decided to use the newly acquired Mamba on one side and the GC on the other. Kept everything the same with both razors using KAI blades. The Mamba kept its original handle, and the GC used the Maggard SS one. Both well balanced with good feel and maneuverability.

Put the Mamba on the right and the GC on the left. Both gave excellent shaves with 2.5 passes with the right side requiring some buffing, although light with the Mamba going over neck and jawline. Both sides BBS with no nics, weepers or cuts. And NO irritation of any kind. Both shaved well with good precise cuts especially lining up the sideburns and working around the corners of my mouth and stache areas. Superb results, plain and simple.

Is the GC better in terms of efficiency/aggressiveness? Yes, no doubt about it. It sings as compared to the Mamba which just hums, nicely. And I like a bit of audible feedback in my shaves. It’s one of the signs that my angle of attack is spot on and the razor is doing what it was intended to do. Cut whiskers efficiently and smoothly. Which brings another point. The GC was almost identical to the Mamba in smoothness, yet felt and sounded more efficient and aggressive. How? Perhaps the increased blade exposure and gap? I don’t know, but it did for me. One other thing I will point out is this. The KAI blade just works wonders for amping up a razor at least that has been my experience with the de’s that I have used.

I will get one more shave in with the GC before sending it on to it’s next recipient but will use a Feather blade as a member asked me to try it in the razor. 3 absolutely great shaves. One more to go....

Oh, and the Dead Sea Soap & A/S splash are amazing. I don’t know why I don’t use it more....

Does anyone have a razor they would compare the Game Changer to? Or is it truly a Game Changer, one of a kind!? Wink

Similar to a Brass General with just a tiny bit of more blade feel and just as smooth and efficient, maybe more.
Close to a Rockwell 6s on plate #6, only slightly more efficient and smoother
Gillette Slim on #5-#6? But smoother

These are all to my feeling. As always, YMMV with such things

Excellent, very common reviews. Can you compare Mamba and Game Changer with Polsilver Super Iridium blades and Astra Super platinum blades?
I will be very grateful.

I think that I'll be placing the order with the Hedgehog one. I hope that it will be 14mm diameter, 85/90mm long.

After using a lot of vintage British Gillette aristocrats I will always enjoy the 12mm handles. Although there definitely is a place for larger handles in my collection as well. Options . I like options lol

If anyone has Twitter, please post the picture of the handle options here.
