Surprisingly well.How is the Panasonic treating you Czar?
Feel free to play along from home!I joined the forum too late to participate officially, but I will be with you unofficially.
I bought a BBS not too long ago, yet I caught myself pining after other razors right away (primarily the Timeless 0.68 and Game Changer 0.68), which baffled me. I'm not a collector and the BBS is an amazing razor that keeps getting better as I become more familiar with it. Logically, it makes no sense to purchase another razor.
I always feel the need to point that this is the best looking scuttle on B&B. If I ever find one I'll fall out in a second. Not even a scuttle guy. It's just that cool.
ya gotta get your brush wet somehow. I face lather, and in cold weather the brush rides up there between passes to keep the lather warm-ish. I'm sure there's more to be found on ebay next year. she didn't cost me much, as they're last century reproductions. the opening only handles up to a fat 24mm brush, so if you go bigger, then it'll be problamatic. that Zenith and my SOC, I have to pinch and twist the knot in.I always feel the need to point that this is the best looking scuttle on B&B.

Notes to today’s shave: |
I have the GC .84 open comb and can use it everyday. I rotate it out with my Lupo .72. I shave everyday and don't see myself getting another razor.Prisoner #10 here and still in. The first quarter was easy, but we still have another three quarters to go. Hang in there everyone.
I’m using my Game Changer .84 this week, loaded with a Gillette SB blade. Paired with Cella, Ive been getting smooth and comfortable shaves. Great results with every shave! I finished off my first aftershave this year, Brut, and have brought in Skin Bracer in anticipation of some warmer weather. I love the menthol in Skin Bracer.
I know that there are faces out there that cannot use the GC .84 every day and I get that. However, this razor could easily be the only one in my den and I would be happy the rest of my life. Being on blood thinners, I do need to careful. However, I do not recall ever nicking myself with the GC .84. This razor is a keeper!
