This guy has the kind of facial hair that he shaves at 8am and then has to shave again at 9:30am. FINALLY, someone with real facial hair reviewing razors. Biggest pet peeve is all these reviewers who have little to no facial hair reviewing the efficiency of a razor. Or they don’t even let their facial hair grow and they’re reviewing a new razor. You my friend, did what we all wanted to see. Real beard = real reviews
I totally agree. There are so many RU-vid shavers out there that look BBS before they start to shave. They are just fooling themselves and their audience. You don't get any feedback from the razor or the blade with some of them.
I surely agree, although I can understand some people really like shaving and want to remove the sparse hair they do have, because BBS is BBS no matter how little or much hair you have. But I don’t really take in consideration their opinions on razors, I find I usually am quite disappointed. I think with little hair they can get away with a lot of razors and blades for that matter. The details matter less with an easier task.
I have the game changer.84 straight bar and open comb. The aluminum lupo on a titanium handle. The game changer is more efficient on long growth or thick head hair while being not too aggressive. The lupo is extremely gentle and efficient on shorter stubble and decent at heavy growth. The lupo is very mild and no razor rash if used daily. My neck area is sensitive to razor burn (why I switched from the modern 17 blade razor to a double edge. Lupo is as mild as the feather asd2 and more efficient for 1/5 the price. Both are great razors and quality built, depends on skin sensitivity and frequency of use. Both are far better than the feather for price. The Parker semislant is really close, a compromise between the two, very efficient and able to handle thick growth. Semislant can usually finish in one pass if needed. I wouldn’t give up either of the three. I would give up the feather, it’s great but not 5 times the price great. Great review. I think every face (or head) will be different in which works best.
Really cool comparison video! My B3 also feels in the middle of soft and scrubby but I really like that feel. Lupo is a winner but game changer is great too. That’s why we buy em all 😂 I’ll use the 72 next.
I have only recently realized that my hair grows away from my Adam’s apple on my neck. I have been working on mastering the application of that new knowledge all week 😂 really enjoyed the battle!
Great comparison! I have the GC.84 SB and just can't get 100% efficiency due to the hair growth near the adam apple. Hmmm....wonder if the Lupo can be the One...?? Doubt it... Enjoyed watching....especially that big brush!
Yeah Adam’s apple is the trickiest part for me to reach BBS as well! The Lupo took me a few shaves to start liking it but it’s getting there. Try mapping your beard and experimenting with skin stretching to get there . Yeah I love big brushes haha thanks for watching
Hey how’s it going! Despite my findings I found the game changer to dial in shaving angle more easily . I had no issues with efficiency on the .84 game changer so I ended up keeping this one and selling the Lupo to a friend
Great shave John, trying to decide between the Lupo 72 and BBS SS. As you've tried both, do you feel they are about the same for efficiency and post shave comfort, or is one a winner over the other in your view? Cheers
I think you would be happy with the DC that open comb .72 seems more efficient compared to the .95 for me. For sure less chattery and you can always jump back on the .72 safety bar if you want more mild shaves. My GC .84 is just one of those razors you know... Sits in the shave drawer, I like the OC’s Razorock offers much more control imo. Cheers🤙
Honestly the DC is a really cool and useful concept but I personally like to use both sides of the razor before rinsing. So out of pure habit I’d be wanting to use both gaps on each pass. So I’m just going to wait for the .95 SB! The OC .68 wasn’t too bad for but I noticed it had a lot more blade feel than the .84 SB for sure! Have a good rest of your weekend
That's weird so far I find the .84 game changer more efficient in 2 passes without going atg above the jawline I'm near bbs. Maybe my angle of attack with the Lupo.72 is not correct. I've only had the razor for a week 🤔
Hey John, cool comparison. I know you do relatively new razor comparisons. But I know you like efficient razors. So I was wondering if you could do a ikon Tech vs. a 2011 R41 comparison. The two most efficient razors. Thanks
I think both of those are a little bit harder to find if I’m not mistaken . I’ve heard the older R41 is extremely aggressive but I’ll see if I can land one of them at least
