Razorock Lupo

I finally shaved with a Lupo SS .72 and yes, it is a very well made (machined) razor. Obviously, it has .4mm more exposure than a GC SB .68 and shaves as such.

You mean “gap”, not “exposure”. Exposure is something altogether different.

Correct. My mistake as I just got off a 12 hr. shift. 

After experimenting with the 3 different Baseplates of the Lupo I have found I a m getting the best result with the dual comb. First pass using OC side with the grain and 2nd pass ATG using SB and touch ups with SB. Sold my .72 SB and now thinking about selling the . 95 SB and just keeping DC.

Is anybody else having a difficult time receiving their Lupo? 
I was hoping the mail service was back to normal. 
My Razor was shipped January 15th.

Just a split in twain frog hair more closely than a Gillette Tech. For me the resultant shave was almost exactly like that imparted by a Lord L6 Tech clone.

You know, I've never tried the Lord razors. You have me intrigued...

I got pretty good shaves from my Aluminum Lupo during the time I had it. At that price, I might grab the lord just to say I've shaved with one.

Let me ask you... I'm one of those guys who has poor control, attention span, etc and hence could never get consistent awesome Tech shaves. Is the Lord similar (ie, fickle for the right angle)?

Thanks.

Question for you all if anyone knows: does the Yates H plate shave more efficiently than the Lupo .95?

They are really almost the same price.

I tried yesterday side by side. Yates H (satin finish) has a bit more blade feel, but still very smooth (I feel even a bit smoother than Lupo .95) and H plate is slightly more efficient.
I really like Lupo .95, but I like to use Yates H more and getting more comfortable shaves....

Same here.

In my opinion the Yates H is the better shaver, but the Lupo looks prettier.

Thanks all. That is what I had been suspecting!
