SOTD Stirling September 19th
Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84-P
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Permasharp Stainless
Brush: Doug Korn Stubby (35mm, Carrier Class)
Soap: Stirling Pumpkin Spice
AS: Stirling Glacial Unscented PSB
A slight detour from SEptember. I got the new Game Changer .84-P base plate in yesterday and couldn't wait to give it a go. Also I recently got in some fall themed samples from Stirling so decided to give Pumpkin Spice a try too. This month I've been getting amazing lathers from Stirling and this morning was no exception. I decided to face lather this morning, because well, face lathering with a 35mm knot is pretty fun. I had gobs of super shiny, slick, dense, yogurt like lather in no time. Pumpkin Spice smells like pumpkin pie, and that's ok to me. Now I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving! Back to the shave. With the increased .84mm blade gap and slightly more blade exposure the Game Changer really performs like an ultra premium razor. During the shave I kept thinking man this is smooth, but its really efficient too! Two passes with a little touch up brought home the baby! For those that have a Rex I would say its comparable to setting 4.5, and just as smooth! Ill give the GC another go on Friday before I return to SEptember, but based on first impressions the .84-P base plate was what the Game Changer was always meant to be. Have a great day my friends!
