I haven't ordered one yet. I'll be waiting for Shave Lounge to have them in stock. I did contact Anthony from Shave Lounge and he will have them in stock but there will be a wait of a couple of months.
See below a decent thread on the JAWS and the standard OC base plate.

Hi gentleman's, I wanted to leave you my first impression of the Razorock Game Changer JAWS that went out last week. I was one of the very few lucky one to receive one from the very first batch that w

I've just noticed the JAWS base plate is available to buy separately…it is sold out at the moment though.
RazoRock Game Changer JAWS 84 Double-Edge Razor – ItalianBarber
RazoRock Game Changer JAWS 84 Double-Edge RazorYou spoke and we listened, an ultra-efficient open comb that can wipe out even the thickest and most wiry...
Really interested in trying an OC .84. Any fans out there? Stuff like this always seems to be out of stock though. I'm never sure whether this is an indication of how popular they are or just that they make a really limited number of them with each batch. Guess I'll have to play the waiting game for a base plate only
Still waiting for it to become available in UK stores.
Ive seen that Gifts & care have it for sale but I want to wait and see what price it sells for in the UK.

I bought the JAWS base plate diect from Italian Barber...
I used the JAWS base plate for the first time on Sunday. I posted my initial thoughts on my SOTD but thought I'd post my thoughts on the JAWS, 0.68 and 0.84.
I had the Game Changer 0.68 and 0.84 on loan from a good friend @Acer89. I used the 0.68 first and liked it. I found it similar to the Colonial Aluminium General. You could throw it around your face (within reason of course) without much fear of it biting you. The shave was comfortable but too mild for my needs. I don't like to shave everyday so I'm looking for a longer lasting shave.
Using the 0.84 Game Changer was one of those WOW shaves. I ordered one straight after the first shave. Great balance, manoeuvrability and the low profile head is fantastic to use around the nose. It's up there with the smoothest razors I've used. Efficiency wise was very good and a step up from the 0.68, not massive but enough for me to pull the trigger straight away. After a few shaves I did find it lacking, just slightly in efficiency.
When Razorock announced the release of the OC base plates this was music to my ears. After waiting what seemed like FOREVER I finally got my hands on the JAWS base plate.
My SOTD. I was in a bit of a rush at the time so not ideal conditions…
I used the Gillette Silver Blue as I found it was a match made in heaven with the 0.84 SB. The shave was very similar to 0.84 SB. Very smooth with very little blade feel and only felt the teeth a couple of times. The teeth aren't sharp unlike other open comb razors I've tried from Blackland and ATT.
I did my usual 3 passes and rinsed off and had a feel around for any touch-ups and there was none. We are talking BBS with no touch-ups. WOW!
I did my usual hot and cold water splash and dried off and applied the aftershave. Not much feedback at all. I started to clear my gear up and noticed a load (8+) of sweepers on my chin. Another splash of cold water and some pressure applied soon sorted them out but it shows the JAWS is a deceptive shaver. As I mentioned I was in a rush getting ready so more care needs to be taken next time. Maybe the standard OC base plate could be ‘'just right''?
I judge razors on a number of criteria including the usual, smoothness, blade feel, efficiency etc. Another one is how long the shave lasts. I don't like to shave everyday as my face gets tender (as I'm a delicate flower).
I shaved on Sunday afternoon and as mentioned the shave was BBS. I've found the regrowth to be a bit faster than the SB 0.84. Maybe this is all in the mind? I'll keep an eye on this when I use it again.
