Lupo 0.95 vs gem bullet tip
Surprisingly similar results, the 0.95 shaves about as efficiently as a mid/mild gem se. Honestly that's an impressive compliment. Great shaver I think a titanium handle could really improve it also.

I gave in to temptation, and ordered 2 different aluminium handles (Windrose).
Almost everything else is good now, but I think a light, agile handle is going to make ATG and tidy-up easier.
Since I'm out anyway, I might satisfy my curiosity about Mitchell's Wool Fat...

I think I have a windrose Ti handle laying around somewhere.
How did you like it? The Windrose handles seem to get good reviews.
I've not got enough razors to have a big mix and match pool of handles. My current favourite for "agile" ATG and tidy-up duty is the Rockwell 6S matte handle, which is the right length (84mm), with excellent grippy knurling, but is heavy.

I like it quite a bit. It's very well machined and nice looking. I bought it with a specific razor in mind that I didn't end up liking much. So it's been sitting around waiting for a match. It will likely end up on the lupo in the next few weeks.

Was in a mad rush to shave this morning, used my workhorse setup to get through the job quickly without incident.
Rockwell 6s, plate 4 - No blade feel, it just bulldozes the stubble, good when your in a rush and half asleep. The heft of the handle IMO is a good thing. Also love how the blade seems to align perfectly without adjustment/fiddling.
Wilkinson Sword Vintage White packet (day 3) - Reliable blades, heavier razor helps it.
Simpsons Chubby 1 Best - So efficient for face lathering, quickly dampen and attack the soap, rinses out quickly.
TOBS Sandalwood Soap - I started from a dry puck which had been dormant for about 1 month, I added some water for 10 seconds and started loading. Quick and easy, beautiful thick lather, great scent that doesn't try too hard.
= 10/10

Broke out a fancy handle for the lupo, titanium so it's actually a bit lighter than the old razorock bulldog handle. The result was a nice shave with a more premium feeling razor thanks to a well designed handle.

I am still in but this website just will not load. I've tried every trick I know. It's only B&B where I'm having this problem. Every other website in the world is easily accessible. I don't get it. But I'm still in, as I said.
I also had similar problems, but not currently, a few days back.
Problem seem to be at Badger and Blade server.
Good to see you back. We thought you got flattened by a meteorite or abducted by aliens.

I just can't figure out why this site and this site alone will not open properly 9 out of 10 times. When it does open I click on a specific forum and it loads but then the page is blank. It stinks. Just dumb luck I'm here now.
Still in.
I had that same issue a few days ago as well.
