Razorock Gamechanger .68 Closed comb Vs Rockwell 6c #3 plate shave off 

@mariocouture1596 glad you found it helpful. Let me know what you get & how it works for you.

Thanks Jimmy!

The Rockwell is a great razor! Definitely my top 3. Thanks for watching.

I can’t use a feather. Eats my neck. I should try a shim in the mamba 70. That may help it. I have it for sale for now.

@@boostedbliss07MK5 I have my Mamba in my travel bag I don't use it much. I don't use Feathers on my neck I change to a different blade.

I usually rub the new feather blade on an old jean s a few times to get rid of the glitch

I'll hand strop it...jeana...towels... or sometimes run it thru the paper wrapper. Same idea !

@alspencer2794 how do u like it?? I tried a shim that in theory should put the .68 to a .78 and it did help efficiency but still didn’t make it nearly as efficient as a Rockwell 4 plate. I think a .84 GC may work for me but worried too much blade feel. I may try 2 shims for .88 GC and see how that feels

I really like the .76 head. I don’t think a shim gives the same feel as a precision machined head. Lots of shavers out there like the .84 but I’m kinda a mild razor guy. I think a good pre shave routine can make a real difference in the outcome.

@@alspencer2794I would have to try the shim vs the base plate. Unless the base plate also changes blade exposure then it’s only the difference between .76 and .78 which I don’t think anyone would be able to feel. The shim doesn’t let any more movement of the top cap or anything so lockup is the same. It wasn’t until I learned how to face lather that I started getting consistent good/great shaves. I’ve tried Proraso pre shave, shave oils, razorock pre shave bar & can not tell any difference at all using them. Not like face lathering does. I used to shower before, exfoliate, hot towel. I don’t neeed any of it now. I can even use cold water. Doesn’t matter as long as a work up a dense hydrated face lather with the right razors I get a good shave. My neck is just sensitive & too much blade exposure on a more aggressive razor will irritate my face on ATG pass.

@@Stubblemeetssteel you know, I started face lathering 3 years ago but it kinda made a mess of the soap. Maybe I need to try it again. Thanks for the insight. Thanks for getting back. I just enjoy talking about wet shaving.

@alspencer2794 Glad you are enjoying the content. Means a lot to me. Thanks for the reminder on the personna. I have some Edison & another one my buddy sent me to try.

I saw they were out of the .76 GC head. I used a shim in my .68 closed comb and that did crank up the efficiency a tad. Try that it’s free and easy to try. How do you like the open comb?? I heard the .68 open comb is one of the best base plates they make in the gamechangers series.

@@Stubblemeetssteel yes i really like the open comb

@@chucksshavingchannel3101 thanks for the info! I’d love for you to try a shim in the closed comb and report back how it compares to the open comb.

@@Stubblemeetssteel i think i will.

@@chucksshavingchannel3101awesome! I eagerly await your results! 😂 curious which has more blade feel & more efficiency.

Good question! Depends on your shaving needs & facial hair type. The gamechanger has less blade feel & is more mild. For me to get a BBS shave with the gamechanger I have to use a super sharp blade. The Lupo has more blade feel but it’s not over the top. The lupo is much more efficient & gets me BBS way easier. I don’t love the lupo with the aluminum handle. I definitely like it better with a heavier SS handle.

i wish it was for me then i would like the GC .68 more. Its definitely more a 3 plate for me.

@@Stubblemeetssteel try different blades. I had to. Permasharp worked for me but might not for you. Try a Feather or Bic Chrome Platinum. You know the run down I'm sure. I have different razors that do a better job with milder blades for sure. Maybe try an 84 plate. You probably have different needs than me probably. I use a 6 plate with the Rockwell but it burns my neck to get off the neck stubble. Does great everywhere else. The 68 takes it off. I can't explain it. The Rockwell is. 74 on the 6 plate. Not much more than the 68. Truth be known I'd like to try a 76 plate on the game changer. They aren't making them right now though. They will again I think but I'm on the waiting list. It might not do as well though. My Slant razor does pretty good but not any better than the 68. I get weepers with it to.
