I have the game changer at least 5 months. Never shaved with it until today. I can now understand why it is a favourite of so many whetshavers. There is hardly any blade feel. I had to turn the shower of to hear if the angle was correct.

There are many different BayRum scents from very sweet to very spicy.
The Simpson BayRum, with its pleasant scent, is in my opinion part of the middle segment and I like it very much.

Bit of a harsh shave, I’ve had smoother ones. Could be the soap/razor combination. The Puma I‘ve used a few times now since it was honed. I’ve noticed that it takes a few shaves (strops) before the freshly honed blades start feeling less harsh.
Could also be the soap. Although a very nice affordable soap with a scent similar to Stirling’s Satsuma, there are more caring and protective soaps in my modest soap arsenal.
Anyhow, no complaint just an observation. Still quite an enjoyable refreshingly shave.

Brush and soap:
Luyixian Synth-24x68 and TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Jermyn Street Sensitive:
The TOBS (Taylor of Old Bond Street) Jermyn Street Sensitive box is slowly getting to the bottom of it. That's good, because I'm not very impressed by it. Whipped up with the Luyixian Synth-24x68 it gives a perfect shaving foam, but so does an Arko stick of €0.90 and it has a more obvious smell (which you have to love again), which for me is the biggest shortcoming of the Jermyn.
Blade and razor:
The Sharp Durablade HI Chromium for the 4th x used.
The Sharp Durablade HI Chromium is doing reasonably well again, but that's it. Tomorrow again, but I guess that's all there is in it. The combination Lord L6 and Sharp Durablade HI Chromium is not like I am used to with the L6. Shaves, but not no-nonsense. Let's see if my 5 standard is still in it tomorrow. The previous Sharp did it 6 times.
Result: BBS.
Finally: Fresh splashing with Eyüp Sabri Tuncer Kolonya Klasik Limon, some floral honeysuckle of the Weleda Aftershave Balsam and spicy floridity of the Loris E-181 Noir Man gave a cheerful finishing touch to the shave.
