I can swear the RazoRock Game Changer .76-P is like 55usd on Italian barber think that's around 50£ idk the exact exchange rate. But guess something that comes in anodized aluminum might be another alternative like a lupo or something similar. Think there was also a de89 clone that was made with sturdier materials but for the life of me can't recall the name
It's hard to find in the UK. Amazon has a razorock GC, but it's over £100.
Oof amazon has the worst prices tbh but dang i assumed Italian barber shipped to the UK. Look around and see if maggard ships there and there's also razoremporium which states they accept international customers. If not you might just have to go on eBay and see what you can get. Amazon is just a wasteland of zamak razors unless you want to go for the Wilkinson sword which is plastic and should survive a fall
The game changer is quite popular, but razorock/Italian Barber has a history of shitty business practices which makes me reluctant to throw money their way. Even if the hawk and the gc are great razors.
