Yes, I would agree. In fact I will go so far as to say that my GC.84 SB gives me as smooth & efficient a shave as my CG lvl2 SB. However, nothing beats the looks of the CG. Mine is brass with magnum handle.
They are definitely nice. I’ve got the stainless above and a brass L2 with hammered handle, shown on a previous page in the thread. I got the Game Changer after both Charcoals, and it’s making me think I overspent a bit.
