Razorock Lupo

Shave 4 with the Feather & Lupo combo and it was a fine one indeed. Unfortunately, on the ATG pass, it started to get a bit tuggy so, I knew the Feather didn‘t have much left (Feathers are great in sharpness and their ability to cut even the densest of hairs. Longevity though is among the lowest of the low. Shame really for the premium price tag). Anyways, I finessed the rest of the shave and still managed a BBS finish though, I did get some feisty growling from the Alum Bar pass on a couple of spots and the splash was a bit more livelier. I put the final results on me, no blame on the razor or blade. I just rolled the dice there and took a slight loss on end result comfort. But, the irritation gremlins were gone in less than 30 mins. 

Overall, the Feather & Lupo are a dream combination that gives superb results against some big hitters in the same class (Timeless SS .95, H&S PO76Ti, GC .84 sb/oc & Jaws, Carbon Cx-Ti). Shave 1 was very good, shaves 2 & 3 were darn near perfection. Problem here is that the shaves are limited with the Feather and that’s no fault of the razor at all. If I could get a weeks worth of shaves from them, I’d be happier than a pig in poop on a warm spring morning.

Well, it’s unto the KAI blade for the next shave. Looking forward to that pairing.

Happy shaves to all.....

Yeeaaaaaahhh..... Fantastic shave. The KAI & Lupo .95 just brought it today On their first shave pairing. Couldn’t get my shave in sooner as work & schedule played a role in pushing things back. But, man this was a stellar shave. Blade feel was ramped up ever so slightly yet, it still maintained a cool smoothness & efficiency that was right on. A 2 pass shave with 2 1/2 days of beard growth and a slight touch up on the corners. Finito. A very impressive shave outing that shaved about as good as my Timeless .95 SB but, just a hair under in smoothness and comfort. No nics, cuts, weepers or irritation to speak of. Not bad at all for a sub-$100 razor. We’ll see how it goes on consecutive shave days with this combo....

Happy shaves...... 

Can’t reiterate enough how good this razor is. The Lupo is without question one of the best deals ever in wet shave land. Just a remarkably well made and sound performer. It delivers truly elite shaves. Will it supplant any of one’s higher priced razors in your den? That I can’t say for certain. But, what I can tell you with certainty is that it will give any razor in the upper echelon of elite status title a nice run for their money. An affordable and well made entry into the exotic alloy shave tool wars. Nothing but praise for what RazoRock has brought to the table....

Not autopilot but, pretty darn close. I’ll say it and take the heat for it. The RR Lupo is my vote for 2021 Razor of The Year. This is the .95 but, anyone of the iterations will work. Damn good razor….

Great shaves, gents…..

Yup to all the above.

GlazedBoker Hey Gus are there annual awards for razor, brush or soap of the year ? That could be interesting

As always, funtastic setup! 

I’ve been a meh on the entire Lupo thing for some time, mrdoug sent me his and yes there’s Blade feel but once I stopped, slowed down, adjusted my angle a couple times, I’m a yes.  I used it this morning and I’m looking forward to using it again Sunday/Monday! It takes a few days for me lol

A formal awards for merchandise of the year sounds brilliant Gus, The Artisans and Merchants would be very pleased!

jmudrick what handle is that on the Lupo?

I have to agree - I have the DC Lupo and it is up there in smoothness and efficiency with other much more expensive razors - just a great value in a razor!

jmudrick what handle is that on the Lupo?

It is a Tibam "New York" model.
