RazoRock Gamechanger vs Homelike Shaving Hummingbird

[@Haramyst]

I imagine everyone's experience is different, but my gamechanger .84 is both the smoothest AND most efficient in my collection, which includes a 34c, Edwin Jagger de89, Muhle, and a gamechanger .68. It feels like there's no blade to me, like I'm just brushing the whiskers away! Without hesitation, my desert island razor of choice.

[@scottlaughlin1528]

Even after living in Rome, Italy for 3 years, I have never tried Cella. Shocking, I know! From everything I've heard, I must remedy that soon. Excellent video, as always, Kevy. Keep up the good work!

[@seanarter1092]

Thanks for the razor comparison Kevy I was actually looking at the Gamechanger as well as the Hummingbird :)

[@ernienanos1957]

Kevy, Two great beautiful razors. Thanks for the great review. The best to you, Mrs. Kevy and Riley.

[@AlexanderSy]

It's interesting hearing people's preferences concerning the overhang. For some, it rubs against the ears. However, I like the overhang because it allows the corner of the cutting edge of the blade to be closer to the corner of the base plate. This allows me to get closer to my nostrils when shaving across the grain. But again, like you have mentioned many a time, it's all about the preferences. :)

[@craighebert4655]

I have Cella in the tub, but I also have the big kilo block. I was advised by some guys on the forums to keep it in the freezer to keep it from going rancid over time. I hope that works.

[@toddgalletta7233]

I believe the Rockwell 6c is a good Razor for me.

[@richardpoole5928]

Love to see you do a Rockwell 6S vs Outlaw razor.

[@refinededge399]

I think the Rockwell 6S and Hummingbird are more comparable; would love to see that. Thanks!

[@kevyshaves4109]

That sounds like a tasty mix! 😀👍

[@paulwright4397]

Watching the video shows me that I'm not lathering long enough or using enough water which I think is causing my irritation. Always learning.

[@kevyshaves4109]

Good stuff Paul. Everyone likes their lathers differently. Finding out what works for you is part of the fun 👍

[@palmiccz]

After seeing few Kevy's videos, i always start to face-lather much longer :-D

[@ricsi80]

Ha-ha, "Cartridge Police"! That was great! Laughed by butts off.

[@bladeskull2482]

Very nice shave sir. Great comparison. Haven’t used Cella in a while, it’s an amazing soap with a great scent.

[@dave_dhannoo]

Exceedingly good shave ;) huge fan of Cella, some have said they find the scent too sickly but disagree. Decent price too. 👌

[@viningscircle]

Nice comparison shave. Was going to suggest one of Colibri with the Start perhaps. On cost, I paid $20 shipping to the States for the Start, but note that this has gone up to now $24. So that makes it a factor, but do love the Start--nice finish and quite mild and smooth. Colibri looks to be also a fine shaver. Game Changer is superb value in any case. Cella smells of marzipan to me. Good soap.

[@alexdeleon7135]

This entire episode was enjoyable, and informative. Yet I feel compelled to give an endearing thanks for your choice of Cella. I tell many shavers, both young and old, the two reasons that Cella belongs in every den. First, the formula has remained unchanged in 121 years. Second, legendary razorsmith, Maestro Livi offers three things when you order his "set". It has a finger jointed, storage box, that contains one of his hand-forged damascus straight razors, and 1kg brick of Cella! Maestro Livi can afford to use any of the plethora of Italian soaps to be worthy of inclusion with one of his masterpiece razors- but he chooses Cella! But I digress. I did guess correctly that the smoothness factor would go to the Homelike. I must confess that I dislike the overhang, I agree that the Colibri is polished at a higher lustre than the Game Changer. The blade was well chosen. I've enjoyed the Nacet since being introduced to it by Erica Salmons. No alum today? I've never tried that aftershave. Well done, mate! Cheers!

[@kevyshaves4109]

Wow! I didn't know that about Maestro Livi and the Cella. I guess it's not very fashionable these days with all the artisanal offerings, but it will always be in my den. The Homelike razor is superb. I don't know how they can get it to feel so smooth when in use. Kevy 😀

[@lanceberry867]

If Mr Livi recommends it then we need to take note

Hi Kevy- Great shave and comparison video; thank you! Well done using both razors and offering your feedback in real time. There are nice options and differences with both razors to consider if you are in the market for a new razor. I hope you have a great weekend ahead. Take good care and be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Kevy!

[@DrRonP]

Always enjoy your videos Kevy, especially the razor comparisons. Smoother than the GC? Wow! That’s saying something! The .84 GC is my daily driver at this time. Shave on!

[@kevyshaves4109]

Thanks Ron, it's a very smooth razor. Cheers. Kevy 👍

[@bdam2642]

Thank you for the comparison video. As I'm Canadian the Razorock Gamechanger wins for me. I hope Homelike sends you the adjustable razor when it comes out for review. That razor has some serious eye candy factor for me. Stay safe.

[@CBShaves]

Great shave Kevy... After the 0.84 Game Changer myself and Christmas isn't that far away. Stay safe:-)

[@kevyshaves4109]

Good stuff Chris. Connaught shaving have them in stock just now. Kevy 👍

[@brianthearab]

Really great comparison Kevy, thanks! I’m guessing the game changer has more blade exposure than the hummingbird, which might be why there is a slight difference in smoothness? Great 90s throwback with the lynx Africa!

[@kevyshaves4109]

Thanks Brian. Yes, .4mm doesn't sound much but it's enough to alter the blade feel ever so slightly. Kevy.

[@malikvelikov9003]

Fair shave with a two nice razors. My next razor will be a 1.1 Kolibri OC

[@MrGShave]

Great comparison Kevy. I have the .84 Gamechanger and find it smooth and efficient. I guess the closest alternative I have is the EJ 3one6. I might do a comparison in a future video.

[@kevyshaves4109]

That would be a good comparison video. Kevy 👍

[@jonnytesillo1142]

HEYO KEVY !!! A very interesting comparison between these very good safety razors, although I fear not being able to choose a winner, both of which I consider efficient.

[@colinbailey44]

Great shave kevy and an interesting review.i noticed the 0.84 gamechanger is available with an open comb head called jaws ! It's on sale at shaving station . Wonder how that performs .have a great weekend .cheers buddy. Col.

[@jbbroman1955]

Yeah it’s me again😳 I really enjoy the comparison videos as well. I definitely would be interested hearing you’re take on Hummingbird vs Karve Stainless Steel. Now I got got the SB-G (recommended by Karve), yes supposedly aggressive but I swear I feel no blade. The ease & glide of Karve is amazing at least for me (use Nacet love it). Think I mentioned I’d been using R41 for a long while before & there’s no comparison. R41 is a roughy. Until next time....

[@Shaverboy516]

No overhang means the GameChanger all the way!

[@3wheelmannc860]

Good video and thanks for comparison. My .84 RRGC is by far the best in my lot (imo). I do not like any razor with overhang. That should be engineered out of the design.

[@vojislavkostic6110]

Great video Kavy! I've ordered my Hummingbird with 1.1 plate. Cannot wait! I would really, really, really like to see you shave with this particular base plate! 😁 Thank you!

[@palmiccz]

This Gamechanger looks awesome!

[@tripleg1686]

I send a Text to Italian Barber a while back and asked them if they may be considering making some plates to compete with the Homelike Safety Razor and their reply back to me was that they felt that the Game Changer was good as it stood no changes were upcoming at this time damn shame they could possibly be getting in on the market. Actually I’m going to order the RR Mamba .70 because of Martyn of YMMV shaves in his opinion said that the Mamba was more efficient than the Game Changer now I don’t if he was referring to the .68 or the .84 nice video Kevy.

[@kevyshaves4109]

It is good as it is but I think it would give those who want options, to change the shave. Maybe they'll bring out a new razor offering different plates. Kevy 👍

[@davidcyphers8448]

I like overhang because sometimes my blades that have the little glue dots get stuck on the top cap of my razor, and it's way safer to try and get it unstuck with the help of overhang

[@kevyshaves4109]

Good point 👍

[@Basilahi]

I think you should compare the GC to the 1.10 baseplate, the .80 plate is supposed to be the mild plate while the 1.10 is whate comparable to the GC .84

[@ktheodor3968]

Good comparison Kevy! Odd though that this particular iteration of the Russian razor the designer(s) decided to allow overhang. I have the full kit of the previous Russian razor, and there's no overhang. The razor blade is beautifully and safely, above all, contained inside the razor's head. You'd think for this latest addition to the family the Russian designers would have repeated the no-overhang feature. Oh well. *But* , this latest Russian razor looks to be having a grippier handle than the previous one. Thanks Kevy!

[@kevyshaves4109]

Thanks. I'm not sure why they've left the tabs sticking out. Maybe it saves money as there's less steel used. It's not a deal breaker for me. Kevy 😀

Kevy💈💈 Actually the RazoRock Game Changer comes standard with a .68 gap base plate, the .84 version is an optional choice😊 I have both and they shave me, depending on growth, smooth and efficient👌 You can buy the .84 head separately. Not knocking the Homelike at all as I have no knowledge of it except what I see on YT, the included different heads are a nice perk. Use Cella fella😉 Great shave and chat. Enjoy!

[@kevyshaves4109]

You're correct Terry. The .84 is available as head only. I think it would be great if RazoRock offered another one or two plates with wider gaps. It's a very smooth shaver and I think it would be great to give customers more choices. Cheers. Kevy 😀👍

Great comparison Kevy! Blade gap is not that much important. Positive or negative blade exposure is more important. If that blade sticks out for 2mm but you have only 0,4 mm o blade gap, still that would be an aggresive razor. So only the blade gap information doesn't tell you that much....
