RazoRock Gamechanger .68 & .84 Blade Gaps - A Comparison Shave 

Thanks Kevy, I am with you the .68 is a little more comfortable and like you said you can go to another blade. I shave everyday so I really don't need anything aggressive just good technique. No pre shave here in my den.

33:40 "Some people are still commenting on videos from a long time ago which is great." You predicted my arrival to the comment section on this video 3 years ahead of time. Good job, Kevstradamus! Greetings from the future.

Nice comparison Kevy not many of us have both the .68 and the .84 Game Changers. Mine is the .84 and I consider it a level 4 on the one to ten aggression scale and my BEST razor I really love it.I am almost certain Razorock has discontinued the .68 Game Changer so the comparison now might not provide the choice. Okay for as I said the .84 is PERFECT ~! Kit

Preshave oil makes a big difference imho,I notice extra slickness and glide when I'm using it.

I own the Rockwell 6C, is the Razorock GC .84 an upgrade or is the 6C more versatile?

I'm usually an every other day shaver, and .68 gives me a bbs with smoothness I don't get from the .84 plate. The .84 shaves too close for me, not that it irritates, I'm just more comfortable using the .68. Using Rubie blades with both GC.

Great shave Kevy, I do enjoy a shave with eucalyptus and menthol creams/soaps in the lovely Scottish summer weather 🙄 what did I just say there? I can see the .84 looks a little like it's more of a gunmetal grey finish and the .68 looks more chrome, but they both done the job anyway. Good work! 👍🏻

I'm probably in the minority, but I preferred the .68 gap. I found that if I had any bumps or abrasions on my skin, the .84 would cut me. The .84 would give me a slightly closer shave, but it wasn't worth the cuts and irritation for me personally.

Hi Kevy, I shaved this morning with my Razorock •84, proraso green and 2nd use Treet blade. 4 days growth. It was a good shave but I thought the blade could have been sharper. My problem area on my jaw line left hand side didn't get so close. I got closer with my •68 open comb with 1st use Tiger blade. I will try a Nacet in both next time. I also prefer the super knurl handle on my •68 over the UFO on my •84. That is easily remmided though. Stay safe mate, Dave

The difference in knurling is probably just variation in manufacturing. Tool wear, different tool offset, tool pressure, etc.

Always great great reviews, and gamechanger.... FANTASTICO

When I started wet shaving 6 years ago proraso green was the first shave soap I used. While i do still use it and still my favorite scent after trying dozens of other soaps, fine and old bond street give me a far superior shave over anything proraso.

Hello, I wanted to ask if the heads and base of Game Changer interchangeable ie if I purchase Game Changer .68, will I be able to fix Game Changer .84 head on the handle ?

A great comparison shave would be the Lupo SS •72 and the Outlaw Standard •71. Both great razors! Dave.

Pre..shave..oil...WORKS! I usually lather and pass twice then check for residual slickness and do a 3rd pass with the residual and a touch of water added to face...Protects and improves skin texture-No irritation.

I received my •84 today kevy and have preshave oil, Treet blades and proraso green soap, so I may do a copycat shave but with just the •84. I've only ever done one comparison shave and that was with Treet blades. Razors were Outlaw standard and Rex Envoy. The Outlaw was smoother and not so scary as the Envoy. Dave.

Great video, wish I would have this seen before I started with the GC .84 (shaving myself for the first time with a DE razor). Though I managed not to cut myself too often I see many things to improve while going over your video's, really good. All the best from Utrecht, Sander

Great comparison: Just ordered a .68 in the same handle, currently $54.

A really nice and exhaustive comparison. Thank you always for your great explanation, even though I bought the .84 and I use it only when I shave once a week with Sputnik or the 🦈 chrome coated. I use every three day my merkur 34 C and with both the razors I had always a BBS. My last opinion is that, if I have to shave every three days with the RazoRock I have for sure an irritation especially on my neck area. However the Merkur 34 C never gave me a problem, for me is my to go razor, but when I used to shave me once a week the RazoRock GC 84 gave me always a close shaving result.

Has anyone had any bad experiences with the game changer? I’m looking at the 68 and 84 but the website is sold out. Just my luck

Great shave Kevy! Thanks for the comparison shave!! I’m finding myself veering toward a milder razor with a more aggressive blade as well!! Looking forward to the Parker semi slant shave. Take care!!

I notice quite a difference when I use preshave as well. Fewer nicks and less irritation.

An Odd Tip: last weekend i discovered that a blob of Tesco Aftersun in wet hands 👐 rubbed into the face after a shave makes a Brilliant aftershave moisturiser. Left my face moisturised but "matt"....like i should feature on Sky Sports or something. Aftersun. 👌

Nice shave. Totally agree with less aggressive razor with sharper blade, I’ve learnt that over last couple of years. Out of interest what do you prefer out of the game changer and the PILS Razor you had on loan?

Nice video and important info. I have exactly the same trouble spot, and my hair grows in every direction there (swirl). I get a mediocre shave there, irritation, ingrowns, etc...... I started using a gillette skinguard and get a closer shave and less irritation. Still must have in all directions. For the rest I can use any razor but tend to gravitate towards a bit more aggressive and with a sharp blade. Cheers

Mine just arrived .84 open and close comb base plates with the barberpole handle!!!!!!!! Woot woot

After about 4 years of DE shaving, I'm of the opinion that one will get more audio feedback from a razor and blade combo that's having a tougher time cutting the whiskers than from a more aggressive razor and blade combo that's mowing right through the whiskers. For example, a blade that's seen better days will make more noise cutting through a 4 day growth because it's having a tougher time doing so.

Hi sir, razorock gamechanger is better than karve christopher bradley? 10x

The Open not The British Open.. that aside..lovely stuff..

Hello from Antalya Turkey Kevy. I have just ordered the Game Changer .84 open comb. Hopefully it will be here tomorrow or Friday. Will let you know how it performs. It's not the Jaws model but just the open comb.

Thanks for the video. I've always wanted to know how different the two versions were. I would like to buy one (of the many) stainless steel razors that have appeared but haven't made up my mind yet. You should do a video where you talk about and compare the SS razors you own or have used. I really don't know which one I should get.

Great comparison. Your arguments were mine as well. So I went for the .68 and I am really happy with it. No need for me to fiddle with the .84. Top video.

Great shave, Kevy! Always makes my day when I see a notification that you've uploaded another video. Thanks for the shout-out and the demo! I really appreciate it. I just need to load the hell out of it, that's for sure. When I feel like I'm finished, I'll just keep loading! I'll post back and let you know. Thanks again. Can't wait for the Parker semi-slant shave! Have a great rest of your week.

Not sure if you seen my recent posts about the new razors I got but I was really close to getting the game changer 84 open comb or the .84 JAWS.

Great shave comparison, Kevy. I have the .58 and get great shaves with it. I have been thinking of getting the .84 in the future, but for now I'll stick with the .68. Have a great and safe week!

Kevy, I use preshave oil and feel it softens my beard and helps moisturize my skin. I also just bought the razorock game changer .68 this morning and can’t wait to get it.

Seems great razor at decent price, stain less. Yes, Proraso a go-to soap w/o substantial gliding (imo), comparabler to Wilkinson blue container. Did like yr face 'half shaved', reminded me of Mel Gibson in Braveheart with his painted war face... Onon, cheerio fm Singapore+

I really like the pricing. I suppose I'll try one.

I'm searching for a comment, "with Proraso, you can't go wrong! "

Very nice shaving Kevy, good evening!

Great video Kevy as usual . Very impressed by the Game Changer, this shaving bug has definitely caught hold . I even consider mowing the lawn with three passes one with the grain one across and the final one against . Bye the way that is not a metaphor for any other hairy areas in the nether regions I mean the grass. I also love Proraso such a dependable soap.

Great shave Kevy, they sure do a good job mate! I still havnt pulled the trigger on the 6s or the Gamechanger.84 Wish I could buy both lol. I have the 2C and love the plate 3 but would like the 4 plate for a little more efficiency. And loving the nacets and silver blue blades. Have a great weekend buddy ☺️👍

Nice comparison Kevy, I have the .84 and love it, for me Astra blades work nice, but I bought treet blades to try next. I find the little bit of glue on the Astra blades make it a bit tough to remove the blade from the plate. The tolerances are very tight and really locks the blade in. Have you had any trouble with removing blades. After a while the glue goes away and find it a bit easier to remove.

I'm new to DE wet shaving and you are one of my favorite RU-vid commentators. You have a personal warmth that comes across the screen wonderfully and, as a Yank, I enjoy listening to your Scuttish ahksent. I'm on the verge of buying a RazoRock Game Changer now, so this video was a big help. Thank you!

I’m still in on the PreShave, but not all the time. Superb comparison shave really gives us a clear perspective on this Razor. I would always go for a milder option.

I use alternatively Taylor's pre-shave oil and Poraso pre-shave cream. Both work great for me. Use Poraso regular shave cream, also good.

Great video Kevy Sorry for the newbie question I have the GC 0.68 what I need purchase for complete the GC 0.84 the base only , the top cap or both?

Great review I have both razors .68p & .84p , I was a little scared of the .84p but I like it more it has more audible feedback just like you've said and way more efficient for less passes but not scary even going against. I shave once every week or two. Thanks love your reviews.

I always use a pre-shave oil. Plus it's really easy to make. :)

Great shave bud, I have the proraso white , green & red soap all really good performers at a reasonable price, everyone needs a proraso in there den💈👍

Hi Kevy, greeting to Scotland from Germany and all the best for 2023! I like your videos and tutorials a lot and learned a lot about shaving ans skin care. Until recebtly, my daily shaver was a Merkur Futur set at 2,0 - 2.5. After severals years, however, the outcome become more and more unsatisfactory due to increasing tolerances with a top cap getting loose and internal corrosion in the adjustment mechanism. Even spare parts did not solve the problem. So I decided something more durable was needed and purchased a RazoRock Game Changer .68. What a beautiful and classy object. Easy enough to use daily, built to last forever, no tolerances in its mechanically impeccable workmanship, shaving is a pure pleasure again! And what is more, the shaves are both better in their BBS result and smoother to the skin than with my Futur (regardless of the chosen setting). Your review was indeed a perfect help pror making this (quite substantial) investment! By the way, I also have the HD handle with the GC and am totally happy with it. Cheers Matthias

Hello kevy i want to ask you.which security razor do you prefer razorock gamechanger.84 or rockwell 6c

I’m another fan of pre-shave oils/creams! Great shave Kevy 👌🏼

Very nice shave sir. Proraso is great as a cream or soap. It was the first brand I tried when I got into wet shaving and was very easy to lather.

Hey Kevy, Just a question, on the across the growth pass, have you ever went nose to ear, instead of ear to nose? Just wondering.

Tennis and golf? What about the World Shinty Championship?

Sorry Kevy, I lost reception & just now got through watching. Nice one brother! The outcome of this head-to-head shave was exactly what I thought it was going to be! Now I too need to pick this .68 razor head up! 💈😉🤙🏼💈

If you look you can see the distance between them by looking at head and where knurling starts Dundee fortnight last week in July 1st week in August Yes?

Hi Kevy. I've been considering the Gamechanger and came across your comparison shave. I certainly don't need another safety razor. I think my rabbit hole allergy is kicking in. My favorite DE safety razor is the Rockwell 6S. And I recall that it's yours too. Unless you've discovered one better. My question is "Should I just leave well enough alone and stick with my 6S?" What I like about the 6S is the lack of blade feel and yet a close, comfortable shave. Thanks for any feedback and cheers!

Great stuff , looking forward to the Parker semi slant, the 55SL I pressume.

Kevy, Your videos are timeless! You were the first, or one of the first, wet shavers I started watching about two years ago when the bug bit me. The Google algorithms are scary because this video popped up first in my feed tonight. I know why! I've been going down the rabbit hole the last week researching between the 0.68 and 0.84. Initially thinking that the 0.68 would be more suited to me. I've come to the realization that I should probably try the 0.84 first. I have the 6C and typically use plate 3 and sometimes plate 4 and am looking for something more efficient, but relatively smooth. I've watched a lot of your videos, but missed this one, so kudos to Google (but scary). I hope you and Mrs. Kevy are back to full steam after Covid-19. I've been there and hope you both are OK.

No need to use the shaving brush 😂😂

A terrific comparison, and an added bonus of the perennial classic member of the Super Six! I wish I liked menthol in soaps. I do enjoy Proraso red, white, and even blue on occasion. I do like Ingram cream, but the menthol only rears its head after each rinse. I do however, like menthol in aftershave splashes, and balms. I own both the .68, and .84 respectively. I enjoy both-depending on the blade choice of course. That was a magnificent demonstration on proper lathering technique for Proraso. I think it necessary to point out that the use of Proraso's pre-shave, or pre-shave oils by Taconic, or Truefitt &Hill aid in imparting slickness to this super six member. The Treet was an equally prime choice for demonstration purposes. The Razorock Plissoft is always a joy to see. It is one of the oldest brushes in your vast collection. I hope the sunny days continue in Dundee. Global warming be damned. Cheers!

I was right with you with the Tennis and already picturing the clubs coming out a week or so later...and then it was back to the Football season again! My parents used to take me on two weeks holiday before the school's broke off, simply because it was much cheaper. 8 weeks off! Of course that was long before parent's were fined etc. Great shave again Kev and great example of how never to be scared of just simply adding water to help the Proraso 'explode' as you say.

Great Shave Kevy! I think the handles are produced with a lot of time between them Knurling might be hart to produce with the exactly same deepness. It is not because one is a 68.P handle and the other the 84.P ... I have two heads (only one of the same handles you have) and i love them. The 68P is giving me a great BBS but forgives more. AND i don´t have the feeling that it can´t handle more days of growth. Other Razors which are that mild can´t handle it that good. Great tools :-)

Great comparo, Kev. I dropped change in one if these .84 mm blade gapped beauties last week and it landed at my doorstep just today. I shaved with it loaded with a Nacet on a lather from a Wilkinson Sword 'Blue' stick soap this arvo and man let me tell you I fell in love with it - possibly my favourite razor (we shall see after a few repeat shaves). The blade was perfectly captured and the blade bevel was a flat as a tack. Very smooooooooth indeed. A great value for money stainless razor

NOW that's a lather. Whipped up really nice lather, I think I'm the only one with out the Proraso soap, need to get the whole set in any one colour, oh not the sickest I heard while I was typing, I'll get the cream instead lol.

Great shave Kevy💈💈 I have both heads for the Game Changer, both are great shavers. I seem to reach for the .84 more often as I shave every three days or so and I have Viking heritage beard growth😉 Good comparison review today, can't go wrong with either razor. Yeah, Proraso Green is nice soap, I enjoy using it and getting that mild menthol/eucalyptus fresh feeling. Nice video👍 Enjoy!

Ordered yesterday game changer 84

Oh yeah, also grooves on handles are different between the razors. Or so it seems to me

One of the finest rather building experience. The lather was so thick and not see through. It was a sort of relaxing video

nice shave kevy. My next buy will be a razorock razor but not sure what i want, maybe the baby smooth?

Very thorough and informative presentation, Kevy. I might have asked a question or two, but you covered every aspect so thoroughly in this comparison that the questions are, basically, all answered. One of the questions might have been why to purchase both razors, if, for economy sake, one could buy a 6C or 6S and have equally accommodating differences. Do you figure that, besides no overhang with the Gamechanger, the difference in engineering, and possibly blade gaps, between the Gamechangers and the Rockwells is a substantial difference in comfort and/or results? Really got a kick out of the several intentionally humorous quips and almost "ad infinitum" presentation of the "post shave" stage. Thanks for the very thorough coverage of these razors, Kevy, and for the also thoroughly enjoyable humor. Very best wishes.

Thinning the herd of shaving channels to which I subscribe. Happy to say that your channel is now one of two I watch. Really like your style, Kevy, AND your sense of humor. As always, thanks so much for sharing. Steve

Nice video Kevy. Beside the knurling on the handle I noticed that the .68 has a shorter neck than the .84. Have a great week. Look forward to seeing you next time. Cheers

Hi Kevy- Great shaves and razor reviews; thank you! Nice job with both versions of the Gamechanger. Great lather tutorial, as well. Almost thought there would be a brief hello from Mr Riley; his fans will keep hoping! 😀 Have a great week and all the best, Kevy!

Kevy, great review of the Gamechanger razors. Both the Gamechangers and the Rockwell 6s, are great stainless steel razors for the price.

Hey Kevy, which razor do you like better the gamechanger .84 or the ej 3one6?

hi. does it worth the difference in price between razorock and tatara ?

Just bought.68 from IB ,should be in mail soon,can’t wait to try it. Great shave as always. Thanks

I am a huge fan of Proraso. In regards to lathering, one must use water sparingly. I would recommend adding the water gradually, "the posh way", using one's fingers, a few drops at a time. It's great stuff.

Great video Kevy, very informative. Had the pleasure of receiving your Kevy Shaves brush today. Looking forward to giving it a try. 👍

What are your thoughts on the Gamechanger .68 & .84 vs Rockwell 6?

Great video. Would love to know how the Fine Marvel compares to each Gamechanger razor in terms of efficiency and comfort.

I love the scent of Proraso green 💈😎👍

2nd! 😒👍🏼

Kevy, how do the two different blade gaps compare to a Merkur 34C?

Hello, which one is better for daily use? Is 0.84 one very agressive for every day use? Thank you.

Great shave you are definitely the lather king love Proraso Love Bulldog thanks for this video very informative Enjoy your week

Hi Kevy I don’t have game-changer and live here in Canada lol I might get .68 hope it’s not aggressive and smooth shaver... Worth for money I don’t know I don’t have one hope it’s nice for price. Alan H

Thanks exactly what I wanted to know.

Thank you Kevin

Great soap!

Thank You for this video. I have the .68 and I was wondering if I needed to try the .84 and based on you video, I will stick with the .68. Thank you for all of your videos. They are very informative. What would you list as some aggressive razor blades, medium and mild. Thanks Kevy. Have a great day. Phil

Great video, Kevy. Thanks for sharing your review of the razors.

Hi Kevy Razorock game changer is it mild razor what’s big deal about it.. Alan

Lovely shave sir as always, love the proraso soap and aftershave. Thanks Zuber

Nice shave 👍 do you use warm or cold water to rinse after the alum block ?

Great shave.

thanks)
