Equally to yours!Full respect to your experience. I tried several times Yaqi Slant and ended up by selling. As always YMMV
When did you purchase this razor? Apparently they're on version 3 right now. the earlier ones weren't a easy.

I won't sell it just because I like threatening razors. I just think I haven't found the right blade for it yet. I only tried it with a 7 o clock "Black" blade. Very aggressive shave, but without the ATG pass I got DFS close to BBS. Can't blame it.I would actually disagree. The Yaqi has a lot of blade feel, and is extremely efficient, but is not particularly aggressive.
I use mine in a daily 3 pass shave with no nicks, irritation, or anything bad. Smooth sailing.
I bought mine March 2020. I think mine is version 3.Equally to yours!

What?! So which one is the most aggressive? I bought mine 2-3 months ago.Equally to yours!

Yowser! now, that's a GAP!#87, in terms of biting you like a T-rex, has to the be Yaqi.

Will post some more pics later from my Yaqi Slant. The blade exposure is sick.Yowser! now, that's a GAP!
You are right I forgot to place FOCS. In fact I bought my FOCS around August 2020 and tried several times with different blades. It surprised me with its mildness, I was expecting a more aggressive Slant combined with OC. But it is a mild slant and IMHO and deserves a spot on 4th. rank.And where is the FOCS and PAA El Fantasma..........

It's not the most beautiful head but I surely prefer it over Yaqi Helmet. The latter is like shaving with broken glass.

The most recent version is the best. I bought mine from China rather than Australia, around November of 2020. Did you buy yours from Australia?What?! So which one is the most aggressive? I bought mine 2-3 months ago.
Yaqi slant > FOCS for me at least.And where is the FOCS and PAA El Fantasma..........
That is definitely an older oneSo there are different versions of the yaqi OC slant? I have one that is 13m old... not a pleasant thing.......
And those are worse? I can only say that that mine is "unpleasant". No cuts so far, but it's something to avoidThat is definitely an older one

I guess that's a little role reversal there.And those are worse? I can only say that that mine is "unpleasant". No cuts so far, but it's something to avoid
I think they were experimenting at the beginning.....maybe some feedback led to improvements..... most razors tend to be castrated over time
No I got mine from China. Seems aggressive.The most recent version is the best. I bought mine from China rather than Australia, around November of 2020. Did you buy yours from Australia?
Yaqi slant > FOCS for me at least.
Generally, try different blades. I like Feathers in every razor I have ever used. Not in the Yaqi slant. Super Max Super Platinum all the way!
Steep angle!!
