No. Just no. There are plenty of aggressive razors out there. I love the GC but the AS-D2 is perfect as it is, it’s meant to shave like a Tech.

Just to bump the thread a bit. Used the GC .84 OC for this mornings shave. Simply a pleasure to use this razor. Married it up with the King C. Gillette Platinum blade and smooth sailing. Heck of a razor and for the money, can’t complain one bit. It’s not a Wolfman, BBS-1 or any of the other great artisan producers with quality made upscale razors like Timeless, Blackland, Tatara, Paradigm and a slew of others. Yet, it’s still made of 316/316L Stainless cut to precision tolerances that are practically equal to those mentioned. They GC series sports a high quality tumbled semi-polished look that won’t reflect your pearly whites in the morning but, it’ll leave you with a poop eating grin on the quality of shave it will give you for a fraction of the costs the high end tools deliver. I have a few high priced shavers in my den, well north of the $200+ price point and they deliver the looks and the performance. The Gamechanger though truly gives them a run for the money in shave performance and make up.
Affordable and well made tools that any man would have no qualms in owning. I know I don’t.....

Managed to snag an .84 OC today thanks to a kind offer from @Tonyschin. I’ve had my eye on one of these for a while and I’ve been heavily favouring the .84 SB recently so am looking forward to trying its OC sister.

Today I received the GC OC from Tony and the bomb-tip* handle from Shaving Time, so I introduced them to each other and gave them their maiden shave. I like the GC OC very much, it’s efficient and comfortable and looks great on the bomb-tip, a nice retro vibe. If I’m being picky I would have preferred finer knurling on the handle but that’s down to preference and some people no doubt like it as it is. It is nicely done though and as I’ve always loved the Gillette ball-end it is nicely reminiscent.
This razor's going to be a regular.
*I know technically it’s called the UFO but they copied the PAA bomb-tip and that’s a cooler name for it.

The RR GC .84 OC has been relegated to shelf display duty as of late especially ever since I received my RR Lupo. I just reach for it more than any other Razorock razor in my den. Today though, it came out from it’s shave slumber as I’m participating in the OCtober event on another forum. Dropped in a fresh Kai blade, whipped up some suds from the excellent RR The Dead Sea soap and went on to have a very comfortable and easy 3 pass shave that was damn near BBS all around. A couple of tiny stragglers around the Adam’s Apple area but, smooth as silk everywhere else. I’ve forgotten how good and smooth this OC version actually is. Superb tool for the money and a great bang for your buck shaver…..

I hear ya i have the exact same thing since the lupo .95 and .72 ss came out ive been using these exclusively as they have all im looking for in a razor including nice reasonably priced for the quality that it is not to say the game changers are any less of a razor not at all they are equally as effective trustworthy and reliable its just a treat the folks at razorock expanded the choice of razors so anyone can choose whatever suits best

Tough one to answer. The ItalianBarber website & retail webpage states “slightly positive” exposure for the GC .68. Numerically what that entails, no one can really say. Maybe pose the question to IB themselves? Might be worth a shot.
