Anyone tried this DE Safety Razor Head?
[/QUOT
I own the head in the matte finish. I found it to be a very smooth and comfortable shave. It is somewhat of a dichotomy because it is definitely aggressive, extremely so, and if you look at it the first time you load the blade it is intimidating, it looks like it will take your head off. When I started using it, however, I found that correct angle very easy to locate and from that point on it was literally smooth sailing. In fact, it is one of the most comfortable shaving heads that I own, it really surprised me.Anyone tried this DE Safety Razor Head?
So are you saying that an old gillette with the guard removed is a smoother shaver than the Yaqi?I have all yaqi safety razors except the slant.
I like R41 and iKon Tech... but these yaqi razors are just not razors. They are not efficient but just digging your face.
My first wet shaves as young and for two decades, I used only a gillette safety razor without guard. That's how my father was shaving and that's how I learned to shave myself. I really do not understand how they call them (yaqi) razors.
I'm not the guy you're replying to, but my dad also shaved his entire life with a DE razor with the guards removed (a Gillette Tech).So are you saying that an old gillette with the guard removed is a smoother shaver than the Yaqi?
Love my devette. It's literally just a handle and a top cap (well, it has a rubber washer under it).I'm not the guy you're replying to, but my dad also shaved his entire life with a DE razor with the guards removed (a Gillette Tech).
I inherited it when he passed away and tried in and off for 20+ years to get used to it (used maybe 2-3x per year). Nothing but horrible shaves.
About 4 years ago I discovered shavettes, and forced myself to master them. Revisiting the DEvette, it was a lot smoother, but still as smooth.
I kept at it and now it's as smooth as any DE or shavette. Very blade forward (like most shavettes), and just as bloodthirsty if you mess up, but oh so smooth and close shaving when you do things right. No margin for error though.

Mine uses the original baseplate (minus the guards). Please excuse the blurry pic.Love my devette. It's literally just a handle and a top cap (well, it has a rubber washer under it).
