Just as a heads up, Joe posted about 4 weeks for the next releases of .84 and .68 GCs. So it’ll be here before you know!
More recently he tweeted he's not sure the .68 will be made. He'd try though.
Although just a couple of days ago he posted seconds of the .68 GC on Italian Barber. Probably all snatched up in hours.
I love the mamba 70 with titanium handle and SLOC. These razors blew me away. Still love my futur too!
I am currently contemplating getting the .70. I really don't need it. But I do recall the original mamba being a fast head shaver albeit a bit mild.
They are great looking razors.
I found the mamba 70 the smoothest razor i’ve ever used. Its the only razor i have shaved against the grain with and felt comfortable with no burn. It exceeded my expectations when i got it. I would buy another if I ever lost this one. It even came with a case! Razorock is awesome value!
The RazoRock Black Hawk. It is a great razor, shaves as good as my ATT and the Hawk is only $29.99.
You couldn't have just said it is an overhyped piece of junk not worth my money?
So temping Earl, it’s an overhyped piece of junk not worth your money.
More razorocks for a sucker like me

Personally I have only used the DE1, great inexpensive razor.
In addition to my RR DE1, I just got a Fatip Piccolo Special Edition, and I just love the OC plate for daily use.

Mamba 70 with the Ti handle. I have both GCs and they're not even close.
I only have two experiences with Razorock. A TTO model I gave to one of my stepfathers (no, Mom is not Elizabeth Taylor...) and the Game Changer .84.
The TTO was nicely finished and tight...but it was strange that the entire handle twisted to open the butterfly doors. Why not just a knob on the handle tip?
The other is my Game Changer .84 with the Super Knurl handle, which is superb.

I have both game changers and all three versions of the Mamba. The GC 84 is the top dog in that pack by far. The Mamba and the Mamba 70 don’t come close in terms of close shave, but they sure are smooth as butter. The black mamba is a beast, and will bite if your not careful, but it’s very close shaver. The Wunderbar is awesome too, but I don’t reach for it that much. Maybe it’s a bit harsh compared to the others. The DE1/Teck II are great cheap razors, and shave wonderfully. I use a Teck II when I travel. You can’t go wrong with any of them. But the GC 84 is just an all around winner in every way for me. Close shave, smooth, and damn good looking too. Plus it’s stainless and will last forever. I love it and use it often.
The RR razors that are copies of the DE89 don’t do it for me. The Maggard V3 is a better copy. Or just grab an EJ or R89.

I definitely want a gc 84 if they ever go back in stock.
Should be a small batch toward the end of the month if Joe’s estimates were on. Didn’t say what handle though. Of course, that was before the Switch and Lobo reveal...
I agree with many others here that the Game Changer, .68 or .84, is by far the best of the RR razors I've tried. It's a great design, and to me, being made of CNC machined steel is a big advantage. If RR offered additional base plate options for it like Karve and Rockwell, rather than just two, or one, or at the moment none, it would be very tough to beat even at a higher price.
My only two DE razors are Razorocks, a Mission and SLAB, since buying the SLAB at the end of 2014, it's the only razor i've shaved with.
