  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock Game Changer .84P
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (5)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Diamond - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Frankie & Myrna - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Harry’s - Aftershave Balm

This razor is on loan. The Game Changer, despite Italian Barber being on the DNB list, is quite popular. I got a nice close shave, but like most other razors with positive exposure, I felt it needed some attention. It didn’t feel very aggressive, per say, but I knew I was shaving. I’ll try a fresh blade in it next time.

The handle is really great. The threads feel really good. It’s a very nice razor for the price.

My Open Comb Gamechanger is one of my best razors and I generally don’t like Open Combs anymore as a head shaver… RazoRock really makes very affordable razors and brushes with solid quality. The Hawk is a weird AC blade razor, but I love it with one of their Superknurl handles. The two RR brushes I have are also among the best feeling synthetics I have, even though both were clearance sale deals. My AP Shave Co. Tuxedo Fan tops them, but not by far…
