Which blades are you using? So far I’ve only tried my Personna reds and Crystals in the .76 GC. After the Crystal tuck, next up will a Viking’s Sword, courtesy of our fellow member, Steve (@Paper Plane). Then I’m planning to open some Gillette Plats and Minoras. Truly, I haven’t enjoyed a new razor this much in a very long time. It’s really been a revelation.
I’m now mostly using Gillette 7O’clook super platinum (black); with Rubies and Nacet and Gillette platinum as well (and the yellows too).
You like much more efficient razors than I, but I have a thought regarding the two lines. That being, I’m inclined to reason that in general the Lupo range is more blade forward and efficient relative to the Game Changers. Here’s why. The .68 GC was an autopilot razor with never a nick or rough shave. It was not the closest shave either, but I just needed to be clean for work. Then I briefly owned the .84 Game Changer and found it much too aggressive for me as a daily shaver, plus it bit me every time out, so I got rid of it. I’ve since discovered that the .76 GC is my Goldilocks in that range. Re: Lupos - I love the DLC (~.61 gap?), but the .72 was too aggressive and the .58 too mild.
The lupo 0.95 cannot be beat by any razor given its price point and stainless steel grade quality its made of and of course it shaves efficient yet very smooth, for me for some reason even if im careless it's forgiving and won't instantly punish harshly, so far for me the lupo 0.95 and the BBS as are extremely smooth yet very efficient at the same time, the lupo 1.27 proofed to be a bit too much for me as well.
Apologies for the tardy reply, I only now realized my faux pas. Those are sharp blades you’re using. I find the GC.76 works really well with good sharp blades. I got four solid shaves out of a Med Prep! The only blade that does that or more for me is a Gem. I get up to sometimes 7 or even 8 good shaves from a Gem. But I digress.. still haven’t used a Kai in the .76. That’ll be interesting as the Kai is a wee bit wider.
