First shave with mine today.
Pre Shave ETHOS First Lather
Blade PolSilver
Soap ETHOS Succes
AS ETHOS Succes
If you don’t mind a 3 pass shave this razor delivers a very smooth 3 pass BBS. It is probably one of the smoothest razors ATG that I have ever used. I would put it on the mild side of mid aggressive but with 3 passes it delivers and it really is very smooth.

I concur with Shavemd on the Razorock BBS Stainless. Here’s my take on the BBS......

Just got done and it was a two passer with a slight touch up. Phenomenally smooth yet a deceptively efficient shaver. Not at the mid-aggressive level and geared more towards the milder side of the shave spectrum. But, it knocked down a nice full days worth of growth without a hitch. The shave angle came very natural to me but, that cutting window is quite small and you have to be on it to get the BBS to work at its most effective cutting position. If memory serves me correctly it does feel a bit like the Mamba .70 perhaps just a tad bit more efficient. Might have to do a side by side to really see if they’re similar or there are some differences. I think the BBS feels better. On a side note the Tatra Platinum blade is a player with better than average smoothness and quite sharp. Also, the Stirling MITA is awesome for the brutal heat. Face chillers will LOVE this stuff....

Question for those who have purchased the Stainless model in the previous reviews:
     
I own the Titanium version of this razor.  Is there any notable shave improvement with the Stainless model that between the 2....that would force me to purchase one?

I understand the weight difference in the head, which does alter the shave technique slightly. There should be no difference in the head design or blade gap.

I prefer a lightweight razor, but I do love the weight of my (2 & 3 piece) Stainless razors and use them as frequently as my lighter weight razors.  In the end, this may boil down to personal preferences and the beauty of the Stainless version over the Titanium version.

Sorry Captainjonny but, I can't help with your question as I don't own any other version of the BBS razors except for this one, SS version.....

Same here Captainjonny I don’t have any other version to compare.

hard to purchase

While the first shave with the RR BBS was very smooth and did give me a 3 pass BBS the duration was significantly shorter than most of my current razors. I only had about 6 hours before I started to feel the stubble coming back, I'll do a few more daily shaves with it before I reach any conclusions.

Is there anyone who could compare this to the SS Lupo?

I believe you are referring to the baby smooth in regard to titanium version. From my brief discussion with razorock, this is similar but slightly modified.

From what I can tell from these two initial reviews, the BBS might be I'm the milder side of the baby smooth perhaps melding some of what they learn from the mamba? Complete guessing and too little info to know for sure. Still, I could be right?

For tonight’s shave I chose a once used Kai blade in my BBS
PreShave - Hot Shower
Blade - Once used Kai
Soap - ETHOS Lime
AS - ETHOS Lime
For me there was no discernible difference in smoothness with the WTG and XTG pass but a little more blade feel ATG still very smooth but definitely a little more blade feel. Again I received a very easy BBS and I whipped the razor quickly across my face with no issues. 
Now it remains to see how long this BBS lasts.
