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.

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).

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.
