Gamechangers are ready.

Italian Barber now have the Game Changer razors on sale (steps to the left to avoid the rush).
I'm OK, just bought mine.

Thanks @Mark1966 that's the one (I should have put up the link...my bad).
I've chosen the Barber Pole handle. Looks OK, hope it shaves just a tad bit closer than the Mamba.
If it shaves as good as the Gillette NEW I'll be happy.

Thanks @Mark1966

Ahhh, yes - a comparison with a vintage Gillette as a standard of excellence. How many times have I seen this across a range of contemporary razors.

Why by don’t people just buy a vintage Gillette and get the original and the best

 

[Blackie]

I just like stainless steel razors now @Mark1966
Yes, if I could buy a stainless NEW I'd be in like a shot.
Young @lerenau has my Nickel plated NEW now (I hope he still treasures it).
Not sure why I like stainless either. At 71 I'm sure any razor will probably last me out (well, maybe a zamac one won't).

Thanks for the heads up. I purchased one of the first batch but want to see what the changes to the head are.

 

[Blackie]

I think the only change to the head is the slot machined across the bottom of the base plate. I guess that will make the head a tad lighter? Will that improve the shave? It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on both heads @Errol

That’ll be down the track a bit. I’ve sort got a plan and the Game Changer doesn’t get a look in this year.

The G.C.is also available at vshod

 

[Blackie]

I.B. has 'Sold Out' already.

 

[alfredus]

Still available but only with Halo handle or head only

 

[Ferret619]

Mmmm I have my doubts.
Might be good but to change the game, just don’t know

That's strange. I went back there and now I'm getting an 'Add to cart' message on the various options.
Might be a dodgy browser (FireFox) as when I hit F5 and refresh, the items are still available. Go back later without an F5 and it says 'Sold Out'.
Will have a Restart and see what happens ('blankety-blank' Windows 10).
Edit: OK...now it works. Yes, Halo handle and head available still, or head only available still.

.84mm plate now available. Postage is the killer with this one. Need to combine it if you can
