New Razorock razor in the works

[Str8Mug]

Another good one. The .95 SS Lupo is a force when it comes to merging smoothness, blade feel & amazing efficiency in getting one’s shave done with absolute precision & authority.......

Paired the .95 Lupo with the Timeless Crown Ti handle for tonight’s shave. Wonderful balance and grip with this combination. Another effortless shave and perhaps the best one yet....

I bought a Lupo .95 at the day of it's release, from IB, and shaved with it quite a bit. The one thing I have to say is, that I'm very envious of the skill set of some of the members on ATG.
As a newbe (5y) I chose the way of try and error to determine what works for me. And one of the things I coudn't do is to get a Wolfman shave out of this Lupo. Don't get me wrong, I still managed to get a Wolfman shave out of the WR1 .74oc and .80sb that I used. But getting more than a tideous DFS out of this razor seems to elude me. Well there is still a lot to learn for me, and as often enough said on this forum, YMMV.

6th shave and it is just a pleasure to use the .95 Lupo. Nothing but smooth, efficient and nearly effortless shaves. All that for well under a $100 greenbacks US. In terms of value and quality, there is no one even remotely close to what Razorock/Italian Barber offers in their CNC Razor line up. Well Blackland and their Dart is a formidable option and a damn good shaver but, it’s still nearly $30 US more than the Lupo SS. Only 2 groups will exist with this razor. Group 1 are those that love it because of the performance to price ratio that it delivers right up against those costing 2-5 times as much. Group 2 is the hater group because they just realized that this razor delivers nearly as good if, not better than their (myself included) upper echelon/boutique/niche quality/uber expensive luxury whisker whackers. I’m dumbfounded and amazed at how RR/IB continues to make such quality products and offer them at near wholesale prices when compared to other well established razor producers with their higher price points and identical alloys. I’m not saying you shouldn’t purchase those higher priced/exclusive razors that have a jewel like feel and evoke pride of joy to own such a tool but, I honestly can say that the Lupo SS in whatever configuration you choose to own can give you nearly the same exact feeling in pride of ownership, quality of shave and excellent craftsmanship for nearly peanuts. The Lupo SS is a winner and that is a fact that is not debatable.

Grand Slam from the House of Razorock/Italian Barber if you want to know the truth......

Liked my shave today with the Lupo & Feather. I will say that I’ve generally gotten my best shaves with Feathers on subsequent shaves between 2-5 (Feathers are done for me at about 4 to 5 shaves tops). Today it was really good as the Feather will show a bit of initial harshness yet, with the Lupo it was quite comfy with the slightest of the harsh feeling. The shaves I believe should get better in my experience. A few more to go. Fun Time!

Wonderful shaves to all....

I've said for a while that the Razorock razors are excellent value for money. I like the look of the Lupo but am trying to rein it in, especially as I have an aluminium Karve on the way.

Yes, three cheers for razorock! I have a 3 plate Game Changer and DLC Lupo. They’ve essentially destroyed any modern razor RAD I had left.

Nothing much to report with the Feather & Lupo combo on its 2nd shave. Only that it’s a match made in razor heaven especially after the first shave with this hardware set up. Super efficient feeling yet comfortable and actually very smooth. Feathers always do well after the initial go. Not the slightest in harshness and the Lupo .95 just hums along effortlessly. Now, I didn’t say mindless as the Feather still has the teeth of a hungry lion waiting to pounce on a hapless & careless soul but, it certainly isn’t intimidating in the Lupo and I think the Lupo reigns in that harsh and ferocious characteristics that a Feather can show. Granted, I’m not slinging it around my face as I would a Mamba .70 or a British Tech but, I’m moving at a nice pace and the combination left nothing but a BBS finish in 2 plus passes plus a chin buff. Not a shred of irritation. I see real good shaves with this union.....

Indeed, Lupo favors a sharper blade.

Wrapped up shave 3 about 45 minutes ago and nothing out of the ordinary. Again, just a smooth 2 pass shave with a slight buff on the chin & corners of the stache. I maintain a mustache so, I don’t shave that area but, if I did, this razor would be nearly perfect for that spot. Extremely low profile head that gives the Lupo SS excellent maneuverability that inspires confidence unless of course, you’re all thumbs. Then only providence or The Almighty can provide you with a comforting solution. Or, just grow a beard.

So far the Lupo .95/Feather combination is as formidable a combination as any razor that I’ve shaved with to date that does NOT feel intimidating nor ferocious by any stretch of the imagination, just an excellent melding of efficiency & smoothness. If you look at the pic, you can see a bit of blade reveal/exposure with a decent gap between the guard & blade. Don’t pay any mind to that as that is just the angle at which the pic was taken. Looks like a Tiger but, purrs like a putty-tat. I’ll run this blade out until it gives up the ghost and unto the KAI.

Happy Shaves & Happy Easter/Passover to all.....

Shave 4 with the Feather & Lupo combo and it was a fine one indeed. Unfortunately, on the ATG pass, it started to get a bit tuggy so, I knew the Feather didn‘t have much left (Feathers are great in sharpness and their ability to cut even the densest of hairs. Longevity though is among the lowest of the low. Shame really for the premium price tag). Anyways, I finessed the rest of the shave and still managed a BBS finish though, I did get some feisty growling from the Alum Bar pass on a couple of spots and the splash was a bit more livelier. I put the final results on me, no blame on the razor or blade. I just rolled the dice there and took a slight loss on end result comfort. But, the irritation gremlins were gone in less than 30 mins.

Overall, the Feather & Lupo are a dream combination that gives superb results against some big hitters in the same class (Timeless SS .95, H&S PO76Ti, GC .84 sb/oc & Jaws, Carbon Cx-Ti). Shave 1 was very good, shaves 2 & 3 were darn near perfection. Problem here is that the shaves are limited with the Feather and that’s no fault of the razor at all. If I could get a weeks worth of shaves from them, I’d be happier than a pig in poop on a warm spring morning.

Well, it’s unto the KAI blade for the next shave. Looking forward to that pairing.

Happy shaves to all.....

Yeeaaaaaahhh..... Fantastic shave. The KAI & Lupo .95 just brought it today On their first shave pairing. Couldn’t get my shave in sooner as work & schedule played a role in pushing things back. But, man this was a stellar shave. Blade feel was ramped up ever so slightly yet, it still maintained a cool smoothness & efficiency that was right on. A 2 pass shave with 2 1/2 days of beard growth and a slight touch up on the corners. Finito. A very impressive shave outing that shaved about as good as my Timeless .95 SB but, just a hair under in smoothness and comfort. No nics, cuts, weepers or irritation to speak of. Not bad at all for a sub-$100 razor. We’ll see how it goes on consecutive shave days with this combo....

Happy shaves......
