Looks like a 32 surface finish to me. The marks I believe you are referring to come from the tumbling de-burring process.
Hmmm, with a Wolfman head costing around $325 and a Lupo head costing around $65, me thinks you expect too much.
well, i'm not a machinist so i don't know about what kind of surface finish my lupo has. i guess the mühle r94, which i bought new for 70 euro, spoiled me a bit with its perfect finish. it is without any kind of errors or flaws compared to the lupo 58 which cost me 110 euro.
Precisely why I so love my Lupo DC. Remove taller growth with the efficient yet friendly .72OC side, then rotate to the .95SB side to whisk everything silky smooth. Fantastic and somewhat unique design, and I find it pretty blade non-dependant - seems to work well with any decent blade.
yes, the eu has indeed a lot, "to offer"... by the way, taxation works both ways. shipping from inside of the eu to northern america and shipping from northern america to nations within the eu. in both cases, the end user pays all of the additional costs out of his own pocket.
Is the cat going to start shaving too? Great picture.Play on broken record.
For me, the Lupo is the best razor you can buy for less than 200usd. That's due to the fact that it ticks all the boxes of what I prefer in a razor... thin head, adequate blade clamping on both sides, stainless, nimble ( even more so with a lighter handle), looks and intuitive to use.
Now this is just me but my Lupos, 72 and 95 feel smoother than my Wolfman wr1 74. I can't figure it out but I experience it every time. Can't say that about my WR1 1.25... that baby is super smooth but look at the price.
Now here's the probably unpopular opinion; I'll choose the Lupo over my Blackbird any day. Never have I wanted to love a razor like the BB and I still try. I've been through 3 versions machined and satin Ti plus a stainless. I don't like the blade clamping although that shouldn't really be a big deal since my Muhle R95 is very similar but the BB gives this rough feeling on the ATG especially up over my jawline. Nor am I a fan of the head angle and sharpish edge on the guard bar. I'll pull out the SS version and give another try now and again but it's always the same. I think an ERA lvl 5 would've been more to my taste but too late for that... discontinued.
No offense meant to any members as we all have our preferences, but it's just another reason I feel the Lupo is such a great value for me.
Sorry for rambling but aye, I enjoy me some Lupo.
I don't have the Wolfman, nor the BB, but the Lupo 95 SB/OC, the Progress and the Wunderbar satisfy my needs (for now). I sometimes still pick up the R41 or the 37C for a change. I keep around my R89 for travel, but only because I put a RR SuperKnurl handle on it, it looks stunning.Play on broken record.

Should be fine although it's been a while since I've used either, let's see.
