[hcoop112]

I don't like this razor at all. In a drawer.....never had an accident, but too rough for me....

I just had a quick shave on a patch of arm with a shark Super stainless and it was alot better and not really any skin scraped on my arm that i can tell...i will try it tmo see how i go

I couldnt tell you i havnt tried either a week and ill have a rough idea where it stands

Good luck!

Stick with it. I grew to love it after the first week eventually I realized that the razor is quite safe despite the prickly feeling. The shaves will get closer and easier with more use!.

What I find helps:

• Use a great soap with a great preshave and the Marco method - you want a wet, cushiony lather
• Steep angle because the cap is so small
• Try a variety of blades

After a week or two of using it I realized that what I thought was aggression was actually just blade feel. IMHO the razor is not really aggressive (having a tendency to bite). I don't think I have ever cut myself with it.

I am very interested to how you rate the yaqi slant compared to your old 37C.

 

[hcoop112]

So far its alot better for me...i need aggressive and super close...my hair grows all different ways its thick its rough this is on par with my non slants tbh...not as good as my futur ..but pretty damn good

 

[hcoop112]

Yaqi tech head with portal handle would be a step above what you have atm its not super aggressive or super heavy but it is very efficient and smooth it gives decent shaves

I just had a shave with my futur this arvo. 3 WTG and 1 ATG. The 37c fealt very similar to around setting 1-2 which about right for me. Any more aggressive and my neck can get irritated.
My neck has thick wire like hair which blunts most blades between 2-4 shaves. So I need sharp blades which are smooth for my sensitive neck.

 

[hcoop112]

One thing i will say about the 37c is that its extremely smooth with shaving ...so damn smooth..blades just glide like butter and feels so tame..just be careful not to press to hard or you can do damage..i made that mistake trying to get myself bbs you live and learn

Had my first shave today with the Yaqi slant. Great experience, very close shave, zero irritation! Also very loud

It only gets better from here! Give it a month with Super Max Super Platinum blades. You won't even notice the noise or blade feel. You will only notice how smooth is your skin on a daily basis! How effortless are your shaves!

I like a singing razor because this gives me more control for a light touch. I'm surprised how smooth the first shave was. Usually I need much more practice with a new razor.

I have used Nacet blades. Don't have super max super platinum. Are there any other brands you would recommend?

Thanks

Very personal question. For me Astras were quite good as well.
