Agreed. And to boot, the aluminum Lupo can round out the lineup as a mild option. I keep one around for when my face needs some tenderness.
Lupo stainless?
- Thread starter Monty1

I shave almost exclusively now with a Wolfman WR2 and all the SS Lupo variants. On a rare occassion, I'll pull out my WR1 and a PAA Ascension DOC Aluminum. But the Lupo still performs high.
Are there any plans for a open comb DLC version of the 95 Lupo?
RazoRock claims that they don't have any plans for a dedicated open comb version of the Lupo, but...you never know. If they made one...I'd buy it.
Does the Aluminum Lupo and the SS versions feel similar (not the efficiency, just talking about the feel) or are they different beasts? If one already owns the Aluminum Lupo, is it worth it to explore the other models or is it better to go exploring somewhere else?
so first shave with the Lupo 72 and yeah steep angle for sure like I read so was ready for that 
also like I read its super efficient 6 pm and face is on the smoother side of all my razors and might even be smoother than the rex which I do not like as to much blade feel
now the shave was not comfy a few weepers but its first shave and am used to my timeless 68 or the GC 68 so more mild less blade feel razors
I also got a GC 84 which I loved and found the first shave was near the all time top one of those WOW shaves
see what tomorrow brings with the Lupo and another blade had blue personal platinums in it today which are one of my go to
no matter what glad I got both the 72 and 95 Lupo and will give them a good try as this is the only way to know

The Lupo does indeed love the Steep angle (SASA proper shaving). Remember my first shave with the Lupo and feeling the slight blade feel for the first time. Odd that you got weepers on the first go as I find the first shave with any razor is usually one of the best due to being carful and not knowing what to expect. Must be down to the NO pressure etc....

I shave mostly with shallow technique (riding the cap) and some steep technique, I mostly listen to the razor telling me you are correctly shaving it seems while snipping whiskers.so first shave with the Lupo 72 and yeah steep angle for sure like I read so was ready for that

this is my FIRST impressions which I think are fun to share and see how it changes
the blade feel of the GC 84 seemed perfect for me ! So the Lupo might be a bit over my comfort zone I want in a daily shaver ! I like shaving daily and not looking to shorten that fun
I prefer the 3 pass enjoy the lathering etc.. and prefer comfort over efficiency
as we know comfort is a YMMV thing
the lupo did such a great job I do have less to shave the next morning pro for some a con for me but it was the least growth next morning out of all my razors !
so today I did the 95 plate and got 3 tiny weepers still was fun to use the new toy !

Out of those razors, I find that I prefer the GC .84 for smoothness, efficiency and ease of use. I do like the refinements of the Lupo more, but for me the Lupo .72 is a close second to the GC .84. I found the Lupo .95 to be a little bit too aggressive for my skin even though I did appreciate the increase in efficiency.this is my FIRST impressions which I think are fun to share and see how it changes

I do intend on giving the Lupo more time to learn it's ways, but if I was in a hurry to shave and only had those to choose from, I would pick the GC .84 every time.
Of course, it is also early days for me too, and there is a possibility that my tastes may change over time.
I have a real fondness for the GC84-P.
You're tempting me with this Game Changer .84 razor thing.
Only 2 pass today and yeah this Lupo might be to much blade feel for me
GSB blade if I had gone more I could tell I was going to be irritated
GSB blade if I had gone more I could tell I was going to be irritated
have you tried the Astra Stainless or 7o'clock yellow (this might be too much though).Only 2 pass today and yeah this Lupo might be to much blade feel for me
GSB blade if I had gone more I could tell I was going to be irritated
to funny I was in my drawer thinking hmmmmm and both of those and the nacet and feather and kai are in the pile to try
not a fan of those in my mild but for sure have to try and try again if GSB gave you irritation don't bother with the feather (but who knows). My go-to are the above two with the Lupo 95. Feather gives a super close shave, but I also get a bit of stinging from it.to funny I was in my drawer thinking hmmmmm and both of those and the nacet and feather and kai are in the pile to try

You're using the .72 Lupo?
Me too. The first really high quality stainless modern DE that was highly affordable and shaved great.I have a real fondness for the GC84-P.
Shark super Chrome is a great pairing for a Lupo 72
Should I stop ? I don't want to get you into trouble or anything
