Received the Lupo 72 today and gave it a whirl.
As someone with sensitive skin, I can confirm that the original DLC is a tad smoother.
Still a great razor.
I just prefer the DLC.

Took the .95 for a spin again yesterday. With a light touch, it felt pretty smooth and I ended up with an impressive BBS and quite long lasting. Woke up with a little 5 o’clock shadow, but nothing really to shave today. To me, this razor gives a very long lasting shave, one of the longest I’ve had. Closest to it would be the Yates H or my BrassBird. 

On the DC.. I did 3 passes yesterday with the .95 side, but my initial shave was first pass with the .72 OC and then 2 more with the .95. I think mixing the two sides is a better approach, as 3 passes with the .95 may have been a bit much. I’ll play more. Maybe two passes with .95 and OC cleanup would work best. 

Henson Ti handle made the balance and control perfect.

Very interesting. How do the H plate and blackbird compare?

Mine is in US now, come on USPS hurry up..

Ditto, in Chicago............

I'm in Canada, out west and I'm guessing mine is making its way out via pack mule and should be here in about a month.  Or not.  Who knows? 

Usually if I get a new release. by the time I get it everyone else has not only got theirs already but they've used them, reviewed them, Passed them around and put them on bst and forgotten about them.  OK, 2021, no more whining.  Big Grin

Most packages from Italian Barber take a week to get to me (Montreal).  I received the new LUPO the next day!

I’d have to shave a few more times with each. The H and blackbird give comparable length of shave for me. 3 passes for all razors, as I just can’t get all the hairs with two passes.

Too funny. After that major wine I unleashed the razors showed up this afternoon. Maybe I should whine more! 

Nice razors for sure. I’m looking forward to trying them out.
