Lupo stainless?

Congrats!
Still waiting for mine. It was shipped out on the 26th of April.
Mine was ordered the 6th and almost here!!! Thinking Mon or Tue hopefully.
Looks like I should receive mine in a day or two, it just arrived in the Portland area after its last reported citing in Chicago on the 7th.
I got my Lupo 72 last week too and loved my first shave with it, but then I got sidetracked with the Eco that I also received. I'm looking forward to using it again tomorrow.
I just ordered the .95 baseplate to see if I like it better than the .72. I've read that some folks that didn't get along with the .72 love the .95. We'll see. I like the .72 okay, but interested to see if the .95 is any better/worse.
Second shave today on the .72 and, for me, it's definitely one of the best DEs I've ever used. I used The Body Shop Maca cream (old formula), which is far from my best, and a second shave Astra SP. The glide was effortless with the right angle and it's one of the few times I felt as if there was no blade in my razor.
I definitely think this is a potential RAD killer and I'll grab the .95 baseplate sometime, although I tend to prefer milder shavers. If the Wolfman is a better razor, as I've heard, I can only imagine how good it really is.

Another great shave with the .95 today.
A bit over two days growth, no problem for the Lupo/Wizamet SI combo... close and smooth. Loving the post-shave skin feeling with the PAA aftershave with bonus; the wife said, "You smell good!".

My Lupo DC arrived a couple hours ago. Looks even more impressive in person and feels much heavier than expected, probably the heaviest razor I own.
I just finished up with its first test run with a Treet Platinum blade loaded into it.
Effortlessly removed 4 days of growth!

Quite the handsome razor with that handle. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.
I did 3 more shaves with the same Astra SS blade (5 in total). It is noticeably less sharp after shave 3, but I didn't get any weepers (as I used to if I "overused" other blades), and the end result is almost as good as earlier shaves (with a little more work though). In any case, it is a lovely blade in this razor.
I found the .95 quite mild and prefer it to the .72
Lupo SS 72 HD handle + 95 plate is incoming probably will take a while since Italian Barber has to ship it to Europe
If forced to choose between them, I'd likely go with the .95 but luckily I'm not.
Great shave today with the .72 and a 7 O'clock SharpEdge:
Only a couple shaves so far, but I'm really enjoying the open comb/solid bar features of my Lupo DC.
Shave this morning with the Lupo .95 solid bar, GSB blade. Outstanding shave
Had the same experience! It had more "feel" but was smooth and had the closest shave that I can remember! All on the first try.
I wish I could find “the one” blade. Every time I think I’ve found it, I’ll stumble through a disappointing shave, decide maybe I don’t want 100 of those, and move on to another option. I should keep a diary.
It was a cracking good shave today though, with the Lupo .72 SB and an Astra SP on shave 3.
Today's shave with the Lupo...and a Feather. Close shave!
