A dedicated journal for capturing my shaving journey with shave reports, musings, reviews, and extended comparisons.
Thanks. I appreciate that and glad it is helpful.Nice reports, Rocket 1! I especially enjoyed reading your comparison between the Lupo and Vector. I am borrowing a Lupo and a Game Changer, and one of the heads supplied is the Lupo 95 SB. I prefer milder razors and found the Lupo 72 to be a bit too much blade feel, I think. So I am currently trying to screw up my gumption for a Lupo 95 shave!
I also enjoy the details you put in, well done! These are great for us to read who don't have that razor or if we do, we can see how our experiences are alike and how they differ (the dreaded English class compare and contrast!!).
I have written a strongly worded letter and believe they won't make that mistake againBetter talk to your props department about sturdier backdrops! More seriously, I have liked the photos, which are very artistic compared to my attempts!
I'm contemplating getting a Lupo 95OC and a 72SB base plate since the 72OC is not yet available to sort out what I prefer in a modern, more efficient DE razor. I'm curious about your comment that the Lupo 72 has too much blade feel for you. If you could help me out by providing a few more details, I think that would help me along my path.Nice reports, Rocket 1! I especially enjoyed reading your comparison between the Lupo and Vector.

Stay tuned for my initial round of SEptember shaves.Rocket, I'd appreciate your input as well, esp. since you are so familiar with the Vector and AC shaving. I'm waiting for @never-stop-learning 's more thorough exploration of the Vector vs. the Claymore Evo to help me get a better frame of reference. I'm still trying to figure out what I like, so SEptember will help in that regard.

No worries. Happy to have a thread that is facilitating discussion and support.I should be able to provide another opinion later this week. I've been using the 95 OC and have a 72 SB due to arrive Friday; hoping the 72 will be better suited for daily use.
Sorry to hijack your journal @Rocket 1
