I don't have one, but you should try the Lupo .72. It's apparently more efficient than the GC.84. At least according to Italian barbers Razor chart. The Lupo is based and sort of a copy of the Wolfman WR1.. which is like a $300 just for the head. (Lupo = Wolf In Italian) I wouldn't focus too much on blade gap either. Rockwell on plate 5 is only like .69, but definitely more "aggressive" than the GC.84. I returned my Rockwells (6C/6S) due to QC issues and Blade gap bias.. + head was also too big. Did NOT enjoy that one, but you may be different. Lupo .58 is also more aggressive than GC .68. Ill prob grab my Lupo .72 soon.. Few things I want to order from IB.
@@SYN_Raf Got my Lupo 72 today and holy cow.. This is an experience. Paired it with a Indian GWS blade and Cremo. I know this combo well with my previous GC .84... It's definitely a little more efficient, but doesn't feel that way.. it's weird.. in a good way. Did WTG and XTG and I pretty much have an in between BBS/DFS shave with minor touch up. If I have to go ATG, it definitely feels much BETTER than the GC .84... prob due to lower blade gap? Closer shave with same general effort? Yes for sure. I'm kinda at a loss for words.. I should have bought the Lupo .72 a year ago🤣. Now I'm curious about other plates such as .58, .95 and even GC .76/1.05. Worth the $70? Yes for sure. Quality from IB is still top notch.. I actually prefer the Super knurl handle to Barber pole I think. Ill have to swap them around in the next few shaves. YMMV.

THanks for tip. I may try to pick one up. GC .84 has been so good will be interesting to find something to top it.
