When it first came out for a lot of people the GC .84 was known as one of the smoothest and best razor out there. Does anyone still rate it as a top razor in their den?
Does anyone still rank their RR Game Changer .84 as best?

It's a great razor, and at one time considered it one of, if not, the best. Now, too many others have taken the top ranks. I really loved the gc .84P, and that's why I have 3 of them, one, never used.
Nah it's the GC 68 open comb now
The GC84-P is not the best razor in my Den but it is still an excellent razor capable of excellent shaves.
It was retired after I got the Razorock Lupo Razor. 
Not anymore ,have to admit.
Since the Lupo .95 entered the den ,
the GC 0.84-P was sold.
But I ‘ve kept a new and
unused one for my
(20 months old ) son ,
which I did buy for him
the day he was born .
He’s going to get also my
GC 0.84 OC ,
which I stashed back in it’s box .
The GC 0.84-P is going to be the
ideal razor for young Constantine
to begin his shaving routine with.
Smooth ,user-friendly ,forgiving and
efficient enough for a youngster’s stubble.
Later on he decides if he wants to
“dance with the wolves”.
I do have also a new and unused Lupo .95,just in case !

I now prefer the brass Karve w/D SB plate and Schick Krona. Haven’t tried the Lupo yet though…
It's the worst razor I've ever owned.
Not smooth and not as efficient as it feels like it should be... Maybe mines a dud, but it just doesn't work at all for me.

A bit of derailing just to add
that while I think efficiency-wise
the GC 0.84-P is falling between
Karve C sb and D sb plates
(both had a short trip to my den ),
personally I ‘ve found that the Lupo
.95 exceeds by couple of clicks the
G plate ( used to own two razors with
the G plate -brass both,
once used to like it a lot ... ).
Smoothness-wise Lupo .95 is far
smoother than the Karve G plate .
Falls somewhere between E oc and F sb plate ( both owned at the past).
Smooth enough .
A great razor!
You should try it ,chance given .
Excellent shaver however I'm getting a smoother ride with the Rockwell 6S (R5/R6)
I certainly intend to if I can find a .95 in the BST, but I’ll probably have to wait until the US/Canada border reopens and I can ship/receive from the states.
Best no, good definitely.
No, but it's still in the rotation, both the SB and the OC. A very good razor. Kicked out of top billing by the .95 Lupo.
Lefonque
Even more clueless than you
Not the best but it is a fine razor.
Jaws is way up on my list...2nd or 3rd. Honestly a Dscosmetic S9 is my current #1
ERS4
My exploding razor knows secrets
RR GC84 is my first full ss de razor.
Of course I now have more expensive razors, some are gentler, some are more efficient. But GC 84 still has a certain place.
It is difficult for me to decide which razor in my shave den is "the best'' because they all bring different or similar feelings to my skin, just as I will not point out which of the gentlemen in the B&B is "best man'' .
Each of you is the best.
At least today, many years later, it is still difficult to beat the quality of GC from the price (I also love my Lupo).

Yes. Efficient without irritation, Comfortable and close. I can't believe how good it is. Use a Parker blade with it. Can't cut yourself unless you're careless or shave with your other hand.
In my den, it’s still top of the list. It has been my daily driver for quite a few years now, and has kept me from looking for anything better.
I think I prefer my Karve but the SB .84 is an amazing razor. It is the smoothest “aggressive” razor I own for sure.
