Yesterday I used my original Raster to shift 2 days growth with a Proguard on board, and it struggled a bit during initial clearance. The finish was OK but I could not clear the lip line at all. Today I used the Raster 2 which coped well with a single days growth and the overall finish quality was better. Maybe need to try other blades to find out the one best suited to this Razor.

A great big T.S.R love-in shave. The razor is on loan, the soap gifted to me and, of course, made by one of our own. I'm that odd fish that prefers aluminium razors to any other material. I had no idea what to expect from the Lupo. I'm assuming that given the name and the way it looks, it owes something to the geometry of a Wolfman? Except of course the Lupo doesn't cost the same as the annual military budget of Belarus and you don't have to be the seventh son of the seventh son to actually get one. The razor is gossamer light and extremely nimble. Fantastic under the nose. Stuck one of my standard reference blades in it and the result was? Astonishing. My face is like glass but perfectly comfortably so. Wow.
@BrianH - the Capra Devi is a lovely take on the theme. Everything it should be - dark, medicinal and uplifting. The Capra range is rapidly becoming my favourite non-tallow base. It was a no-brainer to match with the Agua Balsamica. Fantastic.
