qq: Did you get the Lupo head and MR 11 handle separately? Reason I ask is because RazoRock has a 'Bulldog' handle or 'HD' handle that looks an awful like the Maggard MR11. But the Bulldog is a little longer at 90 mm vs the MR11 at 80 mm.
Btw, Good choice. Love the Lupo

Yeah, I liked the MR11 from Maggard a lot so I have three or four of them.
To me the RR Bulldog is too heavy for the Lupo head (as is their HD handle; it's paired with my R41 head).
I'm a weight & balance nerd and my razor head + handle choices reflect that. See Table 1.
Table 1
| Head type | Mass (head) | Handle type | Mass (handle) | Balance (%) |
| Lupo 58 | 27.1 | MR11 | 61.6 | 30.5 |
| Old Type | 23 | MR1 | 55.4 | 29.3 |
| BBS A | 31.8 | RR Bulldog | 72 | 30.6 |
| Hawk v3 SS | 28.6 | UFO | 64 | 30.8 |
| R41 | 32.6 | RR HD | 73 | 30.8 |
---
Here "Balance %" = Mass(head) / Mass(Total) => representative of the balance point.
You'll see that I keep them as close as possible by the pairings.
HTH,
