I hadn't shaved for maybe 2 or 3 weeks. The scruff under my chin was actually starting to irritate me to the point I was having a hard time falling asleep. So I put a fresh blade in the Game Changer and in two passes feel like a new man. This is my first shave using something other than my Stainless Blackland Blackbird in a hell of a long time. The GC really does punch well above it's weight.
I bought a Game Changer on r/shave_bazaar last week and will hopefully have it in hand sometime this week.
I got the .68 and .76 plates, really looking forward to giving it a spin!
I blind purchased mine at SMS's suggestion, and don't regret it at all. I borrowed a Blackland Blackbird after AA 2023 and knew I had to have one. I've shaved with virtually nothing else since. The GC is different, and I'm glad I used it again.
The Blackbird also looks like a great razor. Maybe one day.
I remember that feeling from when Djunior was two weeks old and I hadn't shaved in that long
