I was just being a wiseacre. Your thoughts on the Lupo were very helpful. I have been finding that I prefer the lower blade gap version of a razor when I have both gaps to compare e.g. the .68 over the .95 in Timeless Ti, and the same in the RR Game Changer. In each instance, I purchased both blade gaps, compared them and found that I like the smaller gap over the larger. That said, the cost of getting the larger gap plate in Lupo is not high and it may be worth it to have both.

If I may, can I ask if the 72 or 90-something is closer to the aluminum? Razorock never publishes gaps for their aluminum razors. Curious which it is closer to it. Thanks!
Think 72 is same as aluminum

Does anyone know if we will have the .72 / .95 in aluminum?

The .95 came in yesterday. I'm in agreement with most everyone else here in that it's a very well made tool with tight tolerances and precise fitment of all components. Quality work for such a bargain of a pricetag.

I'm still working with my Aluminum Timeless for the rest of this week but, I'm looking forward to putting the .95 Lupo through its paces once the Timeless is done......

An impressive first shave with the Razorock .95 SS Lupo. A very comfortable and highly efficient shave that had me done in 2.5 passes with a tiny weeper next to the Adam’s Apple but, a very satisfying BBS finish. Angle was easy to get from first stroke and keeping it there was practically second nature as if I’d been shaving with it for months. Not proclaiming it to be the best razor out nor the best in Razorock’s stable. Just a real good start to a long weeks worth of shaves with this impressive tool. Yes, I do have a shit eating grin in anticipation for the shaves to come.... 

Great evening and shaves to all....

An early morning shave that was done in 2 passes. No buffing or touch ups required. Not that I had much stubble from yesterday’s great shave but, enough to get a quick one in. The shave was drama free without any irritation or a weeper to speak of. I’m very impressed so far with the .95 Lupo and its performance. And honestly, I’m like a kid at a candy store chomping at the bit at some gum balls & swedish fish. Just in this case, I’m salivating over a new razor pick up and getting my shave on. My Misses says I’m nuts. I say to meself, “Naaahhhh”. 

Then again, she is the rational thinking one of the two.....  Confused2

Another good shave from the .95 SS Lupo. 3 shaves in and I haven’t found any faults to speak of. I could nitpick but, it wouldn’t detract from the razors performance. Solid so far.....

Another good one. The .95 SS Lupo is a force when it comes to merging smoothness, blade feel & amazing efficiency in getting one’s shave done with absolute precision & authority.......
