Not having seen either personally, does the head on the new Lupo resemble the new BL Tradere?
Only to the extent that both razors consist of three pieces....a handle, a baseplate, and a top cap. Otherwise, they are nothing alike. As has been pointed out, the new Lupo head has a very small profile...in fact, it’s actually slimmer (in height) than the Game Changer, which has heretofore pretty much been the standard-bearer for slim, maneuverable DE heads. The Tradere could be called bulky, by comparison. Then there’s the unique cap and plate design of the Tradere, which is also very different from any RR head, including the new Lupo. Bottom line, two very different-looking (and performing) razors.Not having seen either personally, does the head on the new Lupo resemble the new BL Tradere?
Look at post #172 I left some pictures on the new razor.Not having seen either personally, does the head on the new Lupo resemble the new BL Tradere?
When he said he hasn’t seen either personally, I assumed he meant “in person”, as there are plenty of pics of both razors all over the interwebs!Look at post #172 I left some pictures on the new razor.
Yes! Thank you. It was your pics, the fourth and fifth ones of the razor head, that reminds me of pics of the Blackland Tradere. Looks like a really nice razor.Look at post #172 I left some pictures on the new razor.
+1, so many great reviewsSounds like the new Lupos are a hit. Glad to hear it!
DC arrived today and I just finished an excellent shave with it.

I did a first pass with the .72 side, second was .95 on the face/.72 neck, and third skipped the neck for .95 on cheeks only. I am a fan of the aluminum Lupo, and I think all the updates here are for the better. I immediately noticed more blade feel than the alulupo, but the shave was smooth and comfortable, while very efficient.
I used a new Astra SP. The handle, an Alpha Braveheart, is also new. My fingers naturally rested in the large gap near the bottom, and those ergonomics worked wonderfully.
Finally I am glad to see that the blade tab covers have flat ends. The rounded tab covers were a major design flaw in the alulupo, but that has been remediated.
