I just noticed that Yaqi is calling it Mellon now. Yep, this is the same as the RR SLOC.

I have some razors that give me a 12 hour plus lasting BBS shave. In no particular order: Karve w/D plate, Yaki-Pearl, Asylum Evolution T, Wunderbar, Fendrihan MK II, ATT S2, RR37 and Barbasol FH. There are others that give me BBS, it just doesn't last as long, red tip, #58, Fatip, PAA BOSC. The PAA AES is between the two categories above as its blade dependent.
The Yaki-Pearl, Fendrihan and Karve shaves (again no order) have the least amount of feedback from the alum/AS after 3 passes. I can rate the rest but you get the idea
Have my Yaqi and Pearl pieces ordered and on the way so we'll see how the combo does for me.

Just ordered the pearl base plate.
While I wait for it. I’m going to try the yagi DOC with my R41 tonight.
Wish me Luck.

Would someone please post links to both the Pearl base plate & Yaqi head? I'm interested in trying this but my inexperience is showing with my not knowing what base plate you're talking about. Thank you!

Plate is on ebay, head is aliexpress. I'm pretty sure we can't link to active auctions.
Ok fresh out of the Shave Den & Cold Beer [emoji481] in hand.
I got a pretty good shave 3 pass BBS NO touch up.
Def more blade feel Not as smooth as my R41. Not bad though.
Will have to wait for the Pearl baseplate to compare.
Blade used German Wilkinson.
Soap Sterling Glacial Obsidian
Aftershave Epsilon Blue.
I got 1 little nick on my jawline it was the Beers [emoji482] fault.

Thank you @Dave in KY for the links! 
I'm halfway there. Just waiting on the Yaqi cap......
New handle for the setup, balances well. Not as heavy as it looks (61g), perfect for me.
