Paired the .95 Lupo with the Timeless Crown Ti handle for tonight’s shave. Wonderful balance and grip with this combination. Another effortless shave and perhaps the best one yet....

I used mine this morning with the Ti Henson handle; this head with is just amazing with a lighter handle. I may have to cave for the Timeless one though, it looks stunning in your photo!

Thanks partner...
6th shave and it is just a pleasure to use the .95 Lupo. Nothing but smooth, efficient and nearly effortless shaves. All that for well under a $100 greenbacks. In terms of value and quality, there is no one even remotely close to what Razorock/Italian Barber offers in their CNC Razor line up. Well Blackland and their Dart is a formidable option and a damn good shaver but, it’s still nearly $30 more than the Lupo SS. Only 2 groups will exist with this razor. Group 1 are those that love it because of the performance to price ratio that it delivers right up against those costing 2-5 times as much. Group 2 is the hater group because they just realized that this razor delivers nearly as good if, not better than their (myself included) upper echelon/boutique/niche quality/uber expensive luxury whisker whackers. I’m dumbfounded and amazed at how RR/IB continues to make such quality products and offer them at near wholesale prices when compared to other well established razor producers with their higher price points and identical alloys. I’m not saying you shouldn’t purchase those higher priced/exclusive razors that have a jewel like feel and evoke pride of joy to own such a tool but, I honestly can say that the Lupo SS in whatever configuration you choose to own can give you nearly the same exact feeling in pride of ownership, quality of shave and excellent craftsmanship for nearly peanuts. The Lupo SS is a winner and that is a fact that is not debatable.
Grand Slam from the House of Razorock/Italian Barber if you want to know the truth......

Couldn’t agree more with my Friend Gus statement: “The Lupo SS is a winner and that is a fact that is not debatable.
Grand Slam from the House of Razorock/Italian Barber if you want to know the truth......”GlazedBokerhe Lupo 95 shaves like a high-end razor for ONLY $70 and it’s finishing is much improved from past offerings. I personally love the blade feel of the Lupo 95, and it’s very predictable of knowing where the blade edge is at all time. Paired with a titanium handle and you have a spectacular razor. I have to try it next with a Kai, although the 7 O’clock Black performed excellent on its 4th use. Have a Great Weekend my fellow wet-shavers!

My first shave with the Lupo SS .95 with a fresh Nacet blade was yesterday. Very easy and smooth 2-pass shave. The finishing is outstanding for the price.

I received my Lupo 95 today. The razor is nice and I got the haloed UFO handle, which gives it a very modern look.
I modded 2 things. On the handle top (where it screws to the head) the rim was pretty thin. So, I ground it down about 1mm, which widened the rim.
Also, I polished the razor very well - I’m kind of a freak about that. I’m not complaining. RR states in its description “ We use a vibratory tumbling finish process that maintains the highest possible tolerances for the razors. This means the razors will not be mirror finished and will not be mark-free.”
Unfortunately, I’d shaved with a straight razor this morning. So, it might be a couple of days before I use it.
