I no longer have my GC .68 as I preferred the .84, so I cant do a side by side, but the blade feel on the Lupo is less than my .84, and my shave results with the Lupo are better than the .68.
I found the Lupo easier to find the blade angle personally. Both good mild shavers , but the Lupo has a slight slight edge on efficiency. Lupo also had a good edge on maneuverability. You really can’t go wrong with either or though.Can anyone tell me how the Lupo compares to the Gamechanger 0.68 in terms of aggressiveness? Is the Lupo more prone to nick than the 0.68 or are they more or less the same?

I'm a headshaver. That's why I prefer mild razors. For instance I know the RR Baby Smooth is labeled as a mild shaver, but it's too aggressive for my taste (read 'my head'). The same for the GC84. What works with me are razors like merkur 23C, Ikon 102 & X3, GC68, Mamba 70 (Although I think the original mamba would be a better fit for me). So if the Lupa is for instance comparable with the Baby Smooth or the GC84 in terms of aggressiveness, I will pass on this one.
The Lupo is much milder than the baby smooth and the gc 84.
If I still shaved my head, I would definitely reach for the Lupo.
Exactly my thoughts lolThe Lupo is much milder than the baby smooth and the gc 84.

I’d say yes but Lupo getting the nod in efficiency. I think you’ll be surprised at the efficiency of this razor given how mild it is.It's close to the efficiency of the original GC .64 I imagine? But if I remember my previous experience correctly, the Baby smooth is already less efficient than the GC .64
I don't know why I always get sucked in for the first RR iterations. It's almost always too mild for my taste. I should wait next time..
In my opinion the efficiency goes like this(least to most efficient), GC .68, Mamba, Mamba 70 and Ti Baby Smooth were too close for me to tell, then GC .84.It's close to the efficiency of the original GC .64 I imagine? But if I remember my previous experience correctly, the Baby smooth is already less efficient than the GC .64

How does the weight feel in your hand Frank?Mine just showed up at my door. Can’t wIt to take it for a spin!
Mine is scalloped on both sides. I would email ItalianBarber they are very good at responding backReceived my lupo and silver today. Something doesn't seem right. On the website, the picture clearly shows two scalloped edges. Mine has one scalloped, one cut flat and short, right to the blades end. I'm a little scared to try this thing... That can't be safe. Keep in mind, I tend toward very mild razors.
Is everyone else's like this? I don't think it's supposed to be.
Very weird... I hope they don't give me a hard time in replacing it. I am already a little upset I will not be able to try the razor for God knows how long. [emoji3525]Weird!!! I kind of like that
