4 Feb Comes a Game Changer
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Razor: Razor Rock .84 Game Changer
Soap: Proraso Cypress Vetyver Cream
A/S: Fine Fresh Vetyver
Brush: Sterling Kong Synthetic
That’s right my brothers it has arrived and I am totally digging it! The postman brought my Gamechanger over the weekend and I am beside myself with excitement. How can a razor bring such excitement you ask? Well, my friends let me tell you. I don’t know..... But I am super glad to add a modern premium razor to the rotation and this is the inaugural shave.
Fit and finish of the razor are without peer. Something only obtainable with CNC technology. Everything fits as it should and the gaps are even as expected. I got a butt weighted handle with the “radio dial” handle, shifting the balance of the razor slightly down the handle, making it pretty neutral with my grip.
Proraso cream soaps are very predictable with their performance in my water and with the Kong brush I cruised to an easy DFS+ shave in 3 passes. A hint of irritation along the jawline and neck that I expect as I become familiar with this razor. It does have adequate blade feel. Enough that you have to pay attention to what you are doing. I don’t feel it would bite hard, but it sure could let you know when you are not keeping your head in the game.
I think I stepped into dotage this morning. Got all ready and drove myself to Physical therapy, only to find that my appointment isn’t until tomorrow. So now I am sporting a small bruise on my forehead from a palm strike. At least it’s a pretty sunny day for the drive. And to think that two days ago it was cold as can be and snowy.
