2 shaves in with the Lupo .72OC and my thoughts so far are that it is noticeably more efficient than my GC .84P and quite smooth -- my "5-o'clock shadow" seems to be arriving a few hours later than when I shave with my GC. A sharp blade seems a must (had a better shave with a new Nacet, vs. a 3x-used one). The maneuverability of the Lupo (my first) caused me some inattentiveness and I got a small nick whilst whipping it around my nostrils --- didn't even feel it. I'm really liking this one...and the scattered past reports comparing the (.72) OC side of the Lupo DC and the .95OC, with some surprisingly reporting that the latter is somehow smoother, have me thinking I do need to pick up a .95OC plate for comparison.

I'm quite new to the Lupo.... just two shaves in with half shaves with the 72SB and OC... It's a keeper for me... I still have to try the 95SB and OC... that's coming up soon, but so far, I like both the 72SB and OC. I'm too new to DE shaving to know what "blade feel" really is. I've been told, the Lupo is a blade forward design. Again, I don't have enough experience to know if that is correct or not. What I do know, for me, the Lupo doesn't feel dangerous. I like the cut outs for the blade. It gets me much closer to my nose area and makes shaving the corners of my mouth easier.
I've only used Wizamets in them so far but I loaded them up with USA Personna Labs "blue"s for my next shaves. Should be a fun experiment.

My thoughts, exactly!
It’s on…. 
I used the Lupo .72OC today for the first time. I like the .95SB/OC and the Game Changer .84SB. I found the .72OC to be more efficient and much more forgiving than the Game Changer. To me it's an easy razor to use -- making it a great razor. YMMV
I hope you end up seeing it the way I do. But then I only have one shave under my belt. Having said that, I was really impressed with it.I placed my order this afternoon!!!
@Butch Waxx
Even though this is the Lupo Club, I have to mention I also bought the .84OC for the Game Changer. But after using the .72OC, it may have to wait a while before I care to use it. Heh

@NotBloomingAL -- how would you compare the .72OC to your .95OC?
Both are smooth but the .72 is way more forgiving. When I first started the shave I wasn't sure if it was even cutting anything. That's how easy it was to use. While the .95 is an easy razor to use as well, you can tell it's shaving. The .95 is more efficient, thus less forgiving.
A great shave just completed. No drum roll or a big change in the razor hierarchy within the Lupo line up. I still prefer the Lupo .95 SB over the .72 OC. The thing is that I think I like the .72 OC over the .95 OC. Not 100% sure yet as I would need to put the .72 OC through a couple more shaves and then perhaps do a straight up head to head with the .95 OC to get real time feel and fresh data in my mind.
The Lupo .72 OC is a smooth operator with just enough blade feel to give good tactile feel on what it’s doing stroke after stroke. I can’t give a perspective vs its .72 SB counterpart but, it is just a smidge tamer against the .95 SB while still giving great audible feedback and still quite comfortable against the skin. No regrets in bringing the newest sibling into the shave den and hanging in the Lupo corral with the .95 SB & OC. Went with all Razorock today sans the brush as that’s from APShaveCo. XXX with its light cooling menthol and Colonia vibe was icing on the cake.
Great shaves to all….

It’s a player the Lupo .72 OC. Paired it with the Bic again and nothing but, smooth irritation free skin all around. I’m impressed….

Lupo stainless?
Hi, Does anyone know for sure if there is actually going to be a standard stainless steel Lupo released from RazoRock? I mean one without the black coating. And if so, when? I absolutely love the aluminium lupo, but would prefer something more solid, weighty and premium feeling. I think the...

First drive in SS Lupo 72 OC base plate using a Personna Israeli Red.
Noticeably more aggressive/efficient than the 72 SB. Very close shave. I took my sweet time and amazingly there was zero irritation.
Nowadays, I normally use a straight razor and pull out the safety razor when I am pressed for time or (perhaps) traveling. That said, I probably prefer the 72 SB because it requires less concentration. Will probably take me a little time to become more comfortable with the 72 OC.
Really enjoying the SS Lupo - great shaver!

Go to Yaqi on Aliexpress and they have all the data there + reviews. It feels good in the my hand and wanted something special!
They have some neat handles for 2023 also coming out soon.
I haven't used the Lupo for a couple of weeks and I had kind of forgotten what a good performer it is. I have both the .95 safety bar and open comb baseplates. I used the SB this morning. Great performing razor!
