1st pass WTG, touch up XTG on chin and neck. Taking down 5 days of growth. Resulted in a socially acceptable but not super close shave.

This was my first time using the Game Changer. I wanted to do an apples to apples comparison so I used my favorite blade in my current favorite shave soap instead of trying all the new stuff I got. I like this razor a lot! It is maybe slightly more efficient than the Stirling razor and certainly much less irritating/aggressive feeling (for me). I did have a small amount of tugging on my chin hairs which I mostly attribute to poor technique. The XTG felt way better than XTG feels with the Stirling razor so maybe I will try a full XTG pass next time :)
