Hi, I would like to know, by whom was able to test both razors, which WR1 (.67 -.74- .80 - .86) could the Lupo .95 look like in terms of performance. Thank you

I did a side by side shave of the Lupo .95 vs my Wolfman.94. The Wolfman was definitely smoother and slightly more efficient. Is it worth the 6 month wait and price difference that is up to each individual person. I kept my Wolfman and sold the Lupo.

I had WR1 .74 .86 .94. I don't have side by side comparison like Mark.
But I can say Lupo 95 has less blade feel than .86 and .94.
I can put somewhere .74 or .80.

I am using Timeless Ti handle with Lupo, it gives excellent shaves. It has excellent value for sure.
Both WR1 and Lupo are great razors. But I like my WR2 1.55 more.

The only Wolfman WR1 that I have experience with is the .74, and in my opinion the RazoRock Lupo .95 is more efficient.  They are both very smooth, but the Wolfman being less efficient, is probably a little smoother.

In your opinion, compared to the Wolf .80 how could the Lupo be both in terms of aggression and efficiency?

I haven't used .80.  
Under jawline, Lupo is less efficient than WR1 .86.
draebeard says more efficient than .74.
Probably it is close to WR1 .80.

Other comparisons? Maybe with the WR1 .80

Today I tested the Wolfman WR1 (.80 gap) against the Razorock Lupo (.72 & .95 gaps).

It was a bit tricky comparing the 3 all during one shave, but I did my best to keep it a fair test and continuously swap between them during a 4-pass shave with touch-ups.

Each razor had a brand new Astra Stainless blade and I used Wolfman handles for each that were very similar in shape and weight.

My findings:

- As expected, the Lupo .72 was the least aggressive with almost no blade feel. It was also the smoothest of the 3.

- The Wolfman had the most blade feel. Aggressiveness was right in the middle of the 3. Polish and machining were obviously better than the Lupos.

- The Lupo .95 was the most aggressive and I could instantly tell it had a larger gap.

- All 3 provided excellent results. While the Lupo might not be a dead-on "clone", it did seriously capture the Wolfman WR1 experience (even more than I expected it to).

- The clear winner for me was the Lupo .72 since it was the incredibly smooth and also perfectly efficient.

FWIW, I like moderately aggressive razors (Timeless. 95, Rockwell 6S plate 5, Blackbird Dart and Blackbird, Yates H-plate).

Question for you ... How would you compare the Lupo 72 to the game changer 84?

It's been a while since I owned the GC84. It was a good razor, but the Lupo 72 is a GREAT razor... I remember the GC84 would occasionally give me some rough shaves. The Lupo 72 gives me perfect shaves every time. I highly recommend it.
