Y'all, the Lupo 95SB is a very impressive razor. Having ignored it for a few months and then revisited this week, I was blown away. For me, it's especially good with a medium-sharp blade like a Personna CC. Great shave this evening.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another outstanding shave this morning. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent "Amalfi 3K" shave soap. Great AdP "Colonia" scent with incredible lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Cu29" Sweet Spot badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Aristocrat and I finished with Acqua di Parma "Colonia" aftershave splash & EdC.

Hope you have a great day.
