Hi all,
I had a lovely very close shave this afternoon with the Razorock Lupo 127 SS this is a well made and extremely efficient DE razor.
I resently purchased this razor from a local online shaving shop and It has not disappointed as I love close shaving razors the 127 has a fair bit of blade feel
and maybe a bit much for some wet shavers or beginners who are still working on thier technique.
You can achieve a single pass shave with this razor with the 2nd pass for touch-ups "with the right balde".
Really nice but not for every one.
( I have included a couple of close ups of the razor)

The Nomad Theory magens bay is a very pleasing tallow based soap with a lovely fresh orange spice scent it lathered up well and didn't dry out during the shave
it provided good cushioning and great aftershave feel.

Finshed of nicely with Genuina Ogallala bay rum & vanilla splash my favorite line of bay rum aftershaves.

1 pass WTG 1 pass ATG no touch-ups.
No nick's no worries.

Enjoy your next shave.
Cheers.
