I couldn’t wait for the weekend to try out this new razor I purchased from Yaqi Shaving. I am working this weekend and I have every Friday off so I gave it a spin this morning. I used an Astra SP blade that came with the razor. I am not usually a fan of open comb razors but this razor shaved very well. I used Israeli Shaving Cream that I received in a PIF from @Space_Cadet which is a good Cream and also used my Captain’s Choice Copper Lather Bowl. I found that there was a lot of audible feedback on all 3 passes. I did give myself a small nick on my neck but that is a trouble spot regardless of what razor that I use. I also found that being a new razor when I went to take it apart to rinse everything I had tightened it a little too much and the blade tab cut into my thumb pad. No blood but now very tender. I had to use a towel to undo the razor. I also found that because I had tightened it too much the blade was stuck to the end cap which made it hard to pull apart. This I am sure will diminish with use. Overall I have quite happy with the razor. It does appear well made and weighs in on my scales at 94 grams. I have not purchased many new razors but at $19.95 plus postage at the time of purchase I am a happy that I bought it.
