Loaned the Game Changer to a mate three months ago. Had to twist his arm to get it back. Got to say the Game Changer works well or me, right amount of blade feel and efficiency that I like.

Todays shave was basic but fun as I played with a new razor.

Razor: "The Parthenon" V2.0 and it's a nice adjustable TTO, loved the shave & got BBS on a very low no#3 setting shave but was identical to the WieShi Adjustable. The razor has both Qshave and WieShi's names on it and the shave was quite good. I like it alot but I can see that WieShi most likely designed the head as their razor with the same blade gives an identical shave. Today I used Israeli reds, fresh blade in both razors and tried both sides. Didn't have any clogging issues with either razor but then I shaved yesterday so was a daily type shave. Personally I prefer the WieShi though no idea why, seems slightly heftier (think it's all brass).. Weighed both Parthenon is 106g and WeiShi 110g so not much between them.. I like both, good value (long as you pay $50 or less I paid about $30 for each of them).

Soap: BarberShoppe Ginseng & Black Pepper
Brush: Yaqi Marpat 2band best Badger

No shower or pre/post fanciness cold water rise.

Not chasing BBS with this combination and happy with 2 x pass DFS . A bit rough under the jaw.
Notably improved slickness with GTB that had not been so obvious previously.

Pre: Shower
Bowl: Pereira's Destructible Shaving Bowl
Soap: Queen Charlotte Soaps Tangerine sample
Post: Thayers Aloe & Lemon Witch Hazel // Nivea for Men Creme

Another super smooth near BBS in two quick passes. The Rubie's are quickly becoming a favourite on par with Astra's :) The soap didn't lather up as nice as first shave due to extra water but still plenty of slickness. I'm surprised with the lack of scent whilst lathering as its quiet prevalent from the puck? Could be the age of the sample but no idea!? All in all a happy shave :) Have a safe Sunday amigo's!
