RazoRock Lupo Club - The Pack

[Raven Koenes]

How would you describe the differences between the 95 SB and OC? I have the 95 SB and like it, but if the OC is better….

They are both pretty good at efficiency. The edge goes to the OC Lupo. Both are smooth.

When mommy and daddy fight, I get more for Christmas. Since Maggard and Italian Barber are both having flash sales, I felt the need to order a few things. I threw in the Lupo 95 OC plate to get free shipping on the whole order.

Friday's shave for me was the Lupo 95 SB. I had kind of forgotten how good this razor is. Today I used Tabac tallow soap without a brush and the shave was great

Saturday shave

Razor: Lupo Aluminium
Blade: Super shave X Platinum (1)
Brush: Razorrock Big Bruce 24mm
Soap: Proraso Menthol/Eukalyptus
Music: Macroblank - flesh and soul

Simple 15min morningshave. Allthough there are plenty of soaps that outclasses Proraso in performance, few lathers up that fast and easy. No drama, end result 9/10

(Experimenting on whether Super shave X Platinum is a one-and-done blade or not. Price and performancewise it's topnotch, drawback is the longevity, might buy 1000 lol)


Happy shaves everybody

Solid second use of the Lupo 72. Solid 10/10. Loving it! My OCD has me extremely bothered by the squashed tube, but I travel for a living, and this tube has been in my travel kit (and the Gillette Sensor 2 razors I'm forced to use when working. . . best of the disposables for me though).

Question for the mild razor lovers: how would you compare the Lupo 52 to the GC 68? And / or perhaps the Mamba 70? Has anyone got experience with either of these razors and can compare them? Comfort and efficiency? And bladefeel?

I'll add my 2 cents. I have the Lupo 72, GC 68, Karve Overlander and Christopher Bradley (using the mildest B plate. Don't like the C and D). I do love a mild razor, and my newly acquired Lupo 72 is on its way to becoming my favourite. A little more blade feel that the GC, but gets the job done better for me, I even did a side by side with the GC today. The Karve Overlander is probably the easiest and smoothest in autolpilot mode, but the Lupo seems to be more enjoyable to use.

Lupo 95 SB, Bic CP (1). A protective soap, like Zingari is needed to avoid irritation, because (to me) this is quite an efficient combo. Only minor feedback from the splash which is totally acceptable given the results.
I haven't used the 95 SB in a while, it is such a joy, this thing shaves by itself.
P.s.: not to forget the haloed UFO handle. I'm a sucker for the looks and it works well too.

Very nice and an impressive razor lineup you've gathered. Glad to hear it's working for you.

Just an FYI, if you know a machinist, you can have them cut that Ti handle at the first or second groove below the narrow point if you favor a shorter length.

I grabbed this photo from our friend @Raven Koenes shave journal.

Turned the handle down last night on my friends lathe. Much better!

How would you describe the differences between the 95 SB and OC? I have the 95 SB and like it, but if the OC is better….

I realize I never responded to you.

The OC has more contact points with the blade which increases blade rigidity, or decreases blade flex however you want to put it. I think the SB has 5 contact points, the OC contacts the blade at every comb point.

It’s not a massive difference, but it’s there. Other than that, I don’t necessarily believe it’s more aggressive.

If you never experience tugging from the blade flexing, you probably won’t see much difference. I have a fairly coarse beard, so I’m pretty sensitive to it.

 

[Fodermonk]

Great razor. I turned the tianium Halo handle down a little, now 3.25". Perfect

 

[Fodermonk]

Amazing job. I've got this 72, a GC, Overlander and a CB, but the Lupo is the real standout. I'd be happy with this as my only razor, with the occasional 1 day shave with the Overlander.

 

[Gooseberry]

Good morning fellow Lupo owners.

What's everyone's favourite blade in their respective Lupo?
