That looks like a great shave. I have my RR GameChanger lined up for tomorrow. Going to use the .68 series of plates. After 2 or 3 shaves with that I switch off to the .84 series of plates.
Thanks.....it is a great shave indeed! This GameChanger is a real pleasure to use especially if there's a good blade pairing.
I won't mind trying the OC/JAWS head next.
Best of shaves wishes for tomorrow with the GameChanger.68 yah!

Razor - Gillette Flare Tip Super Speed
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - Mojo Handcrafts 26mm tuxedo
Cream - Crown Shaving Co
A/S - OneBlade balm

Stellar shave. The Crown cream is tops. So much slickness & residual, really yogurty. The Flare Tip was so smooth, leaving my skin stubble-free and feeling great.
