Goodfellas Smile Bayonetta

Take this with a grain of salt since I am using multiple comparisons to infer a guess.
I've never had the 6s but many people compare the Lupo 72 or GC 84P to the R6 plate in efficiency.
Seeing how @nav suggests the Bayonetta is even a bit more efficient than those 2, logically it would follow the Bayonetta is slightly more efficient than the 6s with R6.
@nav Does it compare to the GC .84 or Lupo .72 in blade feel as well ?
If it's as efficient as these 2 and more comfortable than a Rocca, it sounds like a great little razor.
Yes, agree. This can be my personal issue
autopilot razors are for me sooner or later annoying... I usually use autopilot razors if there is some meeting in work or family time where is better to have clean normal look not burns nicks and rest of blood everywhere like after fight 
So, the bayonetta has blade feel but it also has a strong blade bend so no blade chatter. The cutting angle is also more intuitive than lupo.
The rocca was just weird for me as it has blade feel but lacking in efficiency VS bayonetta.
I also found it slightly more efficient than R6, GC84.
I had my first shave with the Bayonetta this morning and I can confirm that it's more efficient than the Rockwell 6S with an R6 plate. At least that's my first impressions of it. I found it somewhat similar in blade feel and efficiency to a Blackland Era with a #5 plate. Or maybe slightly more blade feel than the Era. I'm impressed with the Bayonetta, especially for the price.

Fumbling about.
I've used neither the Rock nor the Era, so I can't appreciate the comparison, but we're both impressed with the Bayonetta.
Happy shaves,

Thanks for your detailed feedback, really appreciate it.
You wrote you'd rank it a bit better than GC 84 or Lupo 72 in efficiency. How does it compare to both of them in the ATG pass comfort ? does it have as much blade feel as the Lupo 72 ?
I really like the Lupo 72 as a 2 pass DFS razor but for me, it is a little harsh ATG on my skin, particularly if I use it daily.
I found the bayonetta better on the ATG pass. I think this is mostly due to the bigger blade bend which really helps to make the blade rigid, therefore more comfortable against the grain.
I've used the Bayonetta for a week now, coming from my trusted Henson medium. I'm so glad I found the thread and trusted the comments, for this razor is something else. Only half the price of the Henson, and much more efficient.
I have zero complaints, except for the extra upkeep for keeping it pretty, but I don't mind.

Thanks to you enablers, one of these arrived at my house from Spain along with some Zenith boars (a particular weakness of mine). "Had to get free shipping, honey."
Only 2 shaves so far, but the steepish angle and smooth cutting has me hooked. It is a different feel from many razors, but the medium aggression is unlikely to offend most users and I agree it was pretty intuitive to learn. Will post back if opinion changes.
My main razor is a somewhat blade-picky Lupo 95OC. It is at risk of getting bumped to #2.
The only Bayonetta gripe is the wide, solid bar exacerbated by the draggy blasted finish, but I'm mostly an open comb guy and knew this was going to be a sacrifice. It is still a smooth shaver. The handle is easy to hold, the razor is well-balanced, and the tolerances are excellent. The finish is more than acceptable for price point and it is nice to have plain brass amongst all the other shiny objects. Uh oh, Mr. Fatip just got stuffed back into his box!

Any good fellas reading this thread? I believe some would also pay quite a bit more to have it in steel. Just saying, thinking about myself. 
Some have sure polished up their brass versions nicely.Any good fellas reading this thread? I believe some would also pay quite a bit more to have it in steel. Just saying, thinking about myself.
Maybe you already have one. Jump in if not...on an interim pre-steel basis (a perfect excuse)...in case the Italians change several things around or stop making it entirely in the meantime.

Bare brass is probably is probably the easiest thing to do plating on.

I can send you my Bayonetta with nickel plated, if you would like. I now use only Blackbird Ti.. and no reason to change so far, it's addictive experience for meAny good fellas reading this thread?
