Brand New Razorock Game Changer 1.05-P SB Base Plate!!!

First run today.  I'll come back and report again later, but first impressions reminded me of the Haircut and Shave Co. Ti083.  Really comfortable, but not quite efficient enough to get DFS results from a single-pass shave.  I'll try to get some pictures with a blade in next shave.

I did my best to try and get a decent picture to compare the blade exposure between the 1.05-P and the Lupo .95 OC. It seems to me as far as I can tell, it looks like the Lupo .95 OC does have a bit more blade exposure. I'm also going to try and get a comparison of the blade exposure to the .84–P Game Changer. I have to take separate pictures though as I only have one top cap and the Lupo is a completely different design.

Definitely an excellent upgrade for those who already have a GC, personally having a Lupo 95 I don't feel the need for the 1.05 platter... I love my Lupo 95

I’m not sure how much of a difference there would be, but definitely if you’re happy with it, there’s no need to buy another one. While I do love my Lupo open comb, I really did want to try the larger gap on the GC SB because the .84-P just didn’t quite cut it for me and I wanted a bit more of an aggressive SB. And it was worthwhile already having a handle and top cap.

yes I will not buy a 1.05 gc plate...the Lupo 95 does its job great

If ti ain't broke, don't fix it. I love the Lupo .95 OC, but wanted to rry this and I already had the handle and a top cap so it was worth it to me.

Absolutely right

I just did a side-by-side shave with the Lupo .95 OC and the GC 1.05-P. Honestly, at least for me, it was pretty close. I felt that the Lupo was actually probably just a little bit smoother on the WTG pass, and the GC was a bit smoother going with the ATG pass. I did the same thing on both sides, two passes and some buffing, and the results are pretty much identical. Very little feedback when I used the alcohol-based witch hazel.Minor and very brief. When I applied the alcohol-based splash, there was no feedback whatsoever. Could I have done without the GC? Sure. Do I regret that I got it? Definitely not. For the little bit of money it cost it was worth it to try, and it will definitely see some rotation.

A comparison between an OC razor versus a SB razor during shaving,
is legitimate enough unless a single case : If the user's technique involves
short ,subsequent strokes ,which usually are overlapping also .

Because of the higher amount of residual lather after a pass ,
the OC razor obviously will outperform the SB razor ,in terms of smoothness.

That fact also makes the OC razors the perfect tools for buffering .

OC razors do not clog ,are easy to rinse off from stubble & lather and
they allow for some lather to reside on the skin after a pass .
Perfect tools for short ,subsequent and overlapping strokes .

On the other hand ,SB razors are the ideal tools for longer razor strokes ,
J hooks , G(illette)-slides and all the rest of razorbatics outta there.
The solid bars won't "catch" or 'bite' on the skin,during fast and long strokes as an open comb's teeth may do.
But they tend to clog with "stubble mixed with lather" goo ,
rather too often-diminishing efficiency-wise and needing a 
rinse off to bring their initial efficiency back.

Because OC & SB razors ,each fit better to
different shaving technique approaches ,
comparing them is not that straightforward .

Just my 2 cents.

Because of the higher amount of residual lather after a pass ,
the OC razor obviously will outperform the SB razor ,in terms of smoothness.

this is not a factor. Lather may get past the guard, but not the blade.
