RazoRock Stainless Steel Lupo OPEN COMB 127 Base Plate
RazoRock Stainless Steel Lupo OPEN COMB 127 Base Plate ONLY OPTION
**NOTE: YOU ARE PURCHASING ONLY THE LUPO OPEN COMB 127 BASE PLATE. YOU WILL ONLY RECEIVE THE BASE PLATE THEREFORE YOU NEED TO ALREADY OWN A LUPO TOP CAP.**
The Lupo 127 OPEN COMB is the newest addition for February 2025. Many customers were asking for this open comb option so we made it happen. The original RazoRock Lupo was such a hit with our clients that we decided it was time to create a "gen two" version milled from marine-grade stainless steel. We listened to your feedback from the aluminum Lupo and took it to the design board to come up with a razor that is even better! The three most popular suggestions were; a) You wanted the razor to be able to rest on the side of its head while still keeping the guard width the same as the width of the blade for excellent maneuverability; b) You wanted more optionality in terms of aggression, and; c) Many of you suggested a scalloped bar would add a nice aesthetic touch!
We delivered on all three suggestions and now the RazoRock SS Lupo is NOW available in NINE different versions,
- Lupo 58 - a 0.58 mm safety bar
- Lupo OPEN COMB 58 - a 0.58 mm Open Comb for those seeking more aggression and efficiency - Same gap and exposure as Safety Bar 58 but will be slightly more aggressive due to the Open Comb design
- Lupo 72 - a 0.72 mm safety bar
- Lupo OPEN COMB 72 - a 0.72 mm Open Comb for those seeking a lot more aggression and efficiency - Same gap and exposure as Safety Bar 72 but will be slightly more aggressive due to the Open Comb design
- Lupo 95 - a 0.95 mm safety bar for those seeking a lot more aggression and efficiency
- Lupo OPEN COMB 95 - a 0.95 mm Open Comb for those seeking a lot more aggression and efficiency - Same gap and exposure as Safety Bar 95 but will be slightly more aggressive due to the Open Comb design
- Lupo DC - a 0.72/0.95 dual-comb version which offers a medium-aggressive open comb side and a more aggressive safety bar side.
- Lupo 127 - a 1.27 mm safety bar
- Lupo OPEN COMB 127 - a 1.27 mm Open Comb for those seeking a lot more aggression and efficiency - Same gap and exposure as Safety Bar 127 but will be slightly more aggressive due to the Open Comb design
Blade Gap: 1.27 mm
Blade Exposure: Positive
Material: 316L Marine Grade Stainless Steel
Build: Fully CNC machined
Finish: 3 stage, 24 hour, machine vibratory finish. It's important to note that our finish is designed to de-burr and make the pieces smooth with minimum effect on machining tolerances. It's a tool-like finish and not a mirror-type high polish; each piece is unique (no two pieces will be identical). We don't believe in hand polishing our machined safety razors because it's self-defeating. We spend so much time and effort getting the tolerances tight, a hand polish will just ruin these tolerances. We would rather give you a quality tool-like finish at a great price and leave it up to you if you want to put a jewelry type polish or gun-kote at the razor later at additional cost.
Other Details: Each razor is engraved with a unique serial number.
Made in Canada

I previously was using razorock game changer 84. I had thought it was best razor I had ever used. That was until I got my hands on the lupo 127. The closest shave ever.1 I love it
I had been waiting for the 127 OC. I’m very happy with Lupo’s improvement in efficiency. I had to lighten my touch. The shaves are closer with fewer strokes needed to complete my weekly face and head shave. The improved efficiency also elevated skin comfort. I use a Titanium handle from China. Excellent dimensions, weight and balance. I love my Lupo OC 127
I purchased an Italian Barber Lupo Stainless Steel 127 base plate, a Lupo Stainless Steel 127 Open Comb, a Lupo Top Cap and an Italian Barber Stainless Steel handle. This combination has provided me with several close and smooth shaves. I am very pleased with these purchases.
I had written on the Lupo 127 bar (closed comb) and thought it one of the best aggressive razors I have ever used, smooth, nice blade feel giving a wonderful shave (blades Polsilver- Russian or Polish- Wizamet Super Iridium, London Bridge), I usually shave daily sometimes switching to every 2 to 3 days. I enjoy a good aggressive razor of cause when it doesn't irritate my skin (my rotation Wolfman 1 96, Asylum Rx v2, CG series 1 L3, Gillette 1918 Army J series, British Streamline Gem and others)
I have used the Lupo127 open comb now for 6 shaves and in my opinion this is an extraordinary razor, and I don't say this lightly. I am in my upper 70s and have been wet shaving since 16 and I wish this razor in the closed or open comb, especially the OC would have been available when I started shaving.
Aggressive razors are a strange breed no 2 razor are alike, some are horrible, very harsh with no thought in blade exposure and angle, not comfortable or having shavibility. An aggressive razor needs to be tested not once not twice but many times to get it just right for daily or every other day shaving.
I have read many people say "ride the cap", that is not an answer that will help anyone with this type of razor. !- The way you shave with an aggressive razor is to adjust the angle through feedback, finger feel and more angle adjusting feedback. Your beard will tell you through the razors blade (sound-feedback) what angle to be used until the feedback is almost nonexistent. Do not press hard you will take off a layer of skin or worse, you have to be very respectful of this type of razor.
This razor gives me that extra 10% that none of the other razors that I have, have given me. This razor gives me an easy perfect BBS shave every time, I get the smoothest and closest shave I've ever had in 2-3 passes, This razor is as close to a straight as any razor I have ever used or owned. But let's not forget that a good soap and blade are needed. For me if I use a lesser blade then what I like or a soap without the cushion and glide this razor would be a totally different animal.
What else is extraordinary about the Lupo 127 open and close comb is the price. I have razors up the wazoo from $40 to $800. that are collecting dust and will never be used again. Do I recommend the Lupo 127 OC?, if your taste is aggressive with a comfortable blade feel, this is the Holy GRAIL or the slightly less aggressive127 bar. This is just my opinion.
The new base plate is a wonderful enrichement to the Lupo base plate line. I will use it often. It was well worth having it shipped from Canada to Europe.
