I'm not happy with the Game Changer (.68 & .84 plates).
But still love the wee Mamba although it is seriously mild.
So the GC will be hitting the BST soon with both plates (once I figure a price...but feel free to pm me!).
Now price wise I'm looking at the Blackland Dart or the Mamba 70.
Any thoughts on either? I'm sure I would be happy with one of them (no, no not both!).
The Dart wins because seriously cool looking? The Mamba 70 wins because it's better than the Mamba I already have, and...?
The Dart is dearer. The Mamba 70 is cheaper (but IB charge like a wounded bull for postage anyway).
Spend more money and the Blackbird OC would work for me but 'Out of Stock' for the polished version.
Other razors I use are Tech, Slim 'Twist', and Fatip Picollo (which is a nice wee razor too).
Your thoughts on Dart/Mamba 70?
I should mention (for those who don't read the Member Profiles) that I'm hitting 72 this year so my face is a tad weather beaten (!) and the GC may be a great razor for others, but it doesn't suit me. Otherwise, there's no reason not to like it. A nice razor...just not for me (and yes, I intend to live forever so I like stainless steel razors as I know they will last as long as me).
