It is the copy of RADIMIYaqi Duomo / BIC Platinum
View attachment 1772099
This razor was inspired by the razor of an Italian manufacturer, Rasoio Di Milano, abbreviated RaDiMi. The handle must have another origin, the photos of the RaDiMi that I found showed it with a different handle and made from brass.
Yaqi claims they were inspired by the Duomo di Milano, hmm yeah, at least a nod to the city of Milan. This razor just made it before NYE, the order was placed December 20th, so it just managed the promised 10-day delivery.
This razor wowed me; I had two weepers and my aftershave burnt on my neck and elsewhere. It is steep shaving, though you can "roll" over the comb, it is nicely made for that, to shave a bit shallower and lessen the blade feel. It has quite some exposure, which I didn't expect.
It was also deceptive, very smooth, but it soon taught me a lesson. That's how I like my razors! On the Razorock/Italian Barber scale it would be way above Lupo .95 OC and Game Changer .84 JAWS. I think it would be above the scale, thinking about it. But it isn't R41 or monster territory, while aggressive it has a well behaved and smooth shaving manner!
Efficiency was great, but I had some spots on my left neck left. I think I went too shallow and didn't keep the optimum angle there and just skidded over, this left some stubble I had to correct. It is a supreme razor to clean up stubble under the nostrils!
Shoutout to @ClumsyBull @Halfbeard @Shaun asleep and @Guido75. Think of GRUME, it isn't 2024 yet!
I also think @GlazedBoker would like it. The handle screwed in surprisingly buttery, not always guaranteed for every Yaqi handle.I need someone credible to confirm that.
I shaved in the afternoon, it got delivered minutes after I returned from my post lunch run. The handle is grippy and nicely thick but I wish it would be 2 cm longer.
the razor in question was this
This Yaqi Duomo,from the front it looks like a cross between Radimi and Fatip
Nice though, great purchase!
How much does it weigh in total?
