Lupo DC .95 side vs Lupo. 95

[doubleedgedblade]

While I am content with my Muhle R41 head, I have been trying out other razor heads just to get a comparison of closeness and efficiency for my daily 1.5x pass shave.

It has been too many years since I tried the previous ones to even remember how they shaved. I was also dialing in technique so I had to jump that hurdle as well.

So far I've recently tried-
Baili 172 - meh, might as well be a disposable.
Razorock sloc head - better and closer than baili but didn't care for it.
Razorock mentor head - absolutely zero blade feel but plenty of audible feedback. I was surprised at how smooth it was. If Muhle is a 10/10 in bbs efficiency this is a solid 8, possibly 8.5 if I give it a couple of weeks of use.

After scouring around, the only other razor that has caught my eye is the Lupo DC.

So with it being a dual comb does the solid bar side shave EXACTLY like the standard Lupo .95 head?

Pretty sure folks who tried both posted that it's absolutely identical to the "regular" Lupo .95

It's a good razor. Personally, I prefer the Lupo .72 to the Lupo .95. But neither feels particularly aggressive to me...they both feel smooth and safe. I have the R41 stainless steel knockoff, the DSCosmetic Z0, and love it. Super close shaves with it. But, there's no comparison with the Lupo DC...comparing those razors is like comparing a walk through a minefield to a tiptoe through the tulips. But the Lupo DC is a very capable razor and I can get DFS/BBS results from it.
