I got the 72 as I thought I should take it slowly as a step up from a R89.Awesome.....love getting new toys to try. Which one did you get 72 or 95? I have the 95 and 72, but prefer the 95.....great razor for the money.
I would suggest the 72. Great smooth shaves, efficient, all around a great razor. The 72 is my favorite model of the Lupo, and I've tried them all except the Dual Comb.Hey guys! I have been using a Muhle R89 and looking for an upgrade. I want a more efficient razor and thinking about the lupo. Which one would you suggest between the 3 versions?

Is the .72 that much more efficient? My problem is with my chin hair. The R89 needs 4 passes and touch-ups to clean it and I end up irritated!
I did a side by side test of the 72 and 95, and actually found that for me, the 72 was a slightly longer lasting shave.Is the .72 that much more efficient? My problem is with my chin hair. The R89 needs 4 passes and touch-ups to clean it and I end up irritated!
I know about the YMMV, but this thing will end up less cost-effective than plastic razors!
I want to try them all!!

I have the .72 Lupo but prefer the RR Wunderbar over it. The Wunderbar gives an extremely close shave, closer than my Lupo, and is reasonably comfortable. I shave every other day at most and that may have something to do with my opinion. If you are in the Wunderbar price range you may also want to consider the Yates 921-M or other more aggressive variants of it. My Yates 921-M is one smooth razor that has proven itself to be efficient enough for me.Update on the handles, if anyone is interested. After I got used to all my handles, my preference is: SuperKnurl, Titanium, HD. The SuperKnurl has the perfect length for me, the HD is a tad too short for my paws. (I can shave with the original Merkur HD without issues which is even shorter so it is only a preference).
Blades: 7 o'clock yellow became my other favorite besides Astra SS. Tried a feather again, but the other 2 are way more comfortable during the shave with practically the same result. I'll save the feather for other razors.
I will now use the Wunderbar for a while, test blades, handles, etc. The bar is high, not sure it will be able to beat or even match the Lupo. We'll see

Comparisons with other razors aside, the Lupo .72 is a darn good razor particularly at that price point. As to handles, mine came with the UFO which I don't particularly like. I just don't find it as comfortable as my Barberpole handle which I got with my Game Changer. I purchased the Wunderbar with Ti Halo which is a tad too long for my taste. Overall, of these I like the Barberpole the best for length, grip and comfort.
I actually had to do a search on my old posts for this one: Polsilver SI. I did a run of six or seven consecutive shaves with this blade in my Wunderbar recently and they were very nice indeed. I imagine a GSB would be fine too.which blades do you like in the Wunderbar?
need to find/resurrect a topic for it
