Just tried the GC 1.05 was on the fence but decided to go with the more aggressive game changer. This thing is buttery smooth couldn’t be happier!
Game changer 1.05

Which other Razorock razors have you tried? I just recently tried the GC .84-P and loved it so much that I immediately ordered the GC .76-P and the Lupo .72 OC.
The GC .84-P felt about as aggressive as I think I can handle, so the 1.05 was out for me.

Personally I prefer the Lupo series to GC
Try Lupo 95 or 1.27 you will have fun
I have a GC .84 and love it. I would be interested in the 1.05, but being on blood thinners I will have to just enjoy reading about the experience of others.
The .84P is my go to. Out of 30-40 razors it’s my favorite so far.
If I’m shaving daily I sometimes grab the .68P instead but need to purchase a .76P for those days which would likely make my .68 obsolete.
I will probably try the .105p as well. I feel like I could handle a more aggressive GC then the .84p with 2-3 days growth.
I find the Game Changers far smoother/less blade feel then the Lupos. But I still like my Lupo 72, and 95 quite a bit. Strangely the 95 felt just as smooth as the 72 when I tested it but both are a little more blade feel then I like.

That’s a similar impression I have. My GC .68 and .84 are much smoother than my Lupo .72.

I’ve tried the SLOC I’m waiting for the superslant l3++ OC to come back in stock. I loved the sloc with a feather
Smoothness factor from my perspective : .84 GC SB > 1.05 GC SB > .72 LUPO SB > .95 LUPO SB
GC .84 SB cuts the worse out of the 4 plates I own.
.72 LUPO SB is more efficient and more "safe", but has more positive blade feel vs the same .84 GC SB. Night and day smoothness difference.
Cutting wise, I think it's a wash between .95 Lupo SB and 1.05 GC SB subjectively. Blade gap is high enough to where you won't really take a bad angle once adjusted, but you may find that they both dig in more. Can irritate certain skin types if you go over the same area multiple times.
I kinda like the .72 LUPO SB for a "jack of all trades" utensil, but it definitely has more bite relative to other razors with a similar gap. (Heavier positive exposure).
Edit: You can be very lazy with the .84 GC SB once you have the angle down. Super smooth. I assume .76 GC SB is just a smoother/safer version that cuts slightly worse.
Also never tried .68 GC SB. Was too low on Italian barbers "agro" graph for me to consider... Otherwise I would have stayed on DE89/R89.
Any razor in the "medium" section of that chart is where most people end up anyway for obvious reasons.
Wonder if IB/RR will end up making a .65 LUPO SB down the road. Would be a balanced stop gap in the lineup. Slightly more agro than .76 GC SB.
