Many thanks to
@Dave in KY for including the multiple bonus items in my TSD Raffle prize box, including the Heritage Hill Washington soap. It has a wonderful scent and provided a great lather. Dave also threw in a 10 blade pack of the Wizamet blades - excellent performance!
The RazoRock Lupo DC baseplate is new to the collection and I've tried it in a variety of combinations. I've used it four times so far. The first run I shaved half my face with the .72 OC and the other half with the .95 safety bar side. Honestly, I couldn't discern much of a difference. The next day, I shaved with the OC on pass #1 and the safety bar on the 2nd. Again, just a great shave resulted. The third day, I used the safety bar on pass #1 and the OC on pass #2. Results were the same. Finally, I used the OC on passes 1-2 and still had great results.
Thursday and Saturday

Shaves for Thursday and Saturday were with the Lupo .72 baseplate. I thought there would be some noticeable differences in results from the DC plate, but I don't see much, if any. Just a great shave result in the end.
If I had to point out one difference between the baseplates, I'd say that the .95 safety bar has just a slight more blade feel, but not too much. I'll probably keep the DC plate just for the sake of having a variety on hand to work with the top cap.
Oh yes, the Stirling Sheep shave soap is wonderful. Excellent lather like I had from the Electric Sheep tub that I sunk earlier this year, just without the citronella scent.
