I have shipped the razor to GlazedBoker.

Overall it’s a nice shave. There is a sweet spot which is easy to find. I love the audible feedback. It’s still on the mild side for me though, I prefer a little more aggression.

I was excited for the GC thinking it would be significantly different than the other quality releases from Joe. I usually find them too mild. But the GC is similar to the others in terms of shave (IMHO). The design is cool but it didn’t take me where I haven’t already been with Razorock.

Thank you Joe for the opportunity to test it out. I love the razor and design, but need a little more aggression.

Also, since the handle mating surface is sunken, there may be some incompatible handles out there. I didn’t go through my box, the SS Hawk handle fit fine.

Received the GC head today. Have it all ready to go for this evenings shave. I have 2 handles lined up for it and a Wilkinson Sword blade itching to get it’s shave on.

A few pics below to give those in the pass-around an idea on what to look forward to. Fitment is very nice and finish is pretty darn good for a prototype. Blade reveal was even on both sides and alignment was spot on. Looks like this is going to be a pretty good shave. Shave coming up......

Bottom handle is a Maggard SS, don’t remember the model. The shorter is the Bomb Tip SS from PAA..

what other/common razor would you compare it to (in mildness/aggressiveness)?

waiting on your opinion on it and also compare aggressiveness to other razors

Got the first shave in. A very, very nice 3 pass shave that produced a practically irritation free BBS result. Just slight irritation on my jawline but that was me being overzealous in my final pass. Nothing to do with the razor/blade combo itself. The minor discomfort was gone in 15-20 minutes after a good a/s splash.

The razor itself was very smooth and efficient in removing 2 days growth. The Bomb Tip handle paired with the GC head felt perfectly balanced, not to heavy or too light. The shave angle was easy to get to and it has a nice range. If you ride the cap a bit, it shaves nicely but if you lower the handle you will feel the blade engage more with your skin and whiskers. Not overly so, but you can feel it cutting with a nice audible effect. I will hold judgement on blade feel as I’m waiting on an RR Mamba to get to my hands. I purchased it here on the BST. I’d like to try them both out side by side and see if there is a significant difference between the two razors. I would also like to mention that the GC rinsed out very quickly and allowed the soap and cut hair to move quickly through the cut outs on the base plate.  I’m pleasantly surprised to be honest. A mild but deceptively efficient shave that gave a good 1st time result.

More shaves to follow Gents.....

Will the handles like the Wunderbar and Mamba be available too? I have both in the 316 SS and I love
the handles. They are my favorite.

Yes, it looks like we'll have 5-6 different handles
