Shaved with my new gold Razorock Lupo today for the first time. Voskhod blade (2nd use) and Stirling Scots Pine Sheep soap. Amazingly, this razor is very smooth and surprisingly efficient. Due to the small head, I shaved very close under my nose and near my ears. BBS in 3 passes with nearly no effort and no weepers. I have not shaved with a light weight razor that I liked until now. Truthfully, I am stunned. This is by far the best razor I have used at this price point. I also believe that this razor performs equally, if not better, than all of my other favorite razors, including the Razorock GC .68/.84. I do not know if I should be ashamed to say this, but the Lupo is now in my top 3!
Question for those who have shaved with both the WR1 and the Lupo: Do they shave "relatively" the same, since they have the same architecture (even though there is a weight difference)?
If so, then architecture "outweighs" the other parameter (pun intended).
IMHO, this razor proves that it is not the price of the razor, but the quality of the shave that ultimately determines the true worth to the shaver.
I plan to buy another Lupo to use as my travel razor.

I’m going to bump the Lupo up in my rotation. I was very impressed with my first trial run with it.
I just had three shaves with the new Timeless Al and would like to do a comparison. To my surprise, I’m currently favoring the Lupo despite the Timeless.95 Sb being a top three razor for me.
Regardless, I appreciate the efforts of both companies in introducing such high quality and affordable razors to the market. It’s a great time to be a wet shaver and one doesn’t need to break the bank to get a great shave.

I got one of these out of curiosity and I think it's good for the price.
I'll just PIF this one to a family member or something.
I'm definitely not the biggest wolfman fan or hater but the Lupo isnt comparable IMO. the former beats it in every aspect except price, but if you put that aside for a moment it is a nice razor for the price.

A limited edition of the Lupo in stainless steel is about to drop https://twitter.com/razorockJoe/status/1...8852177926
