Hi, I got it from Aliexpress. I have the Knight Helmet too btw...hahahaha. I would say it's more of a YMMV thingy. Depending on the blade etc. I tend to experience chattering especially going atg....
BTW, the shave with the Yaqi Slant gives me a long stubble-free result...amazing!

Thanks Chard52142 . A very well explained and illustrated tutorial on blade shims. I never saw a shim made from the razor blade itself. Kind of a no brainer but brilliant.

Hey, thanks! I learn from watching u-tube too. In-fact, using the same method gives me a more efficient shave using milder razors like the Gillette Super Adjustable and Red Tip. Very interesting indeed...

Thanks for your comment. I put another DE blade as a shim. Both of these blade sharp cutting edges must be cut-off using just a simple scissor. You now load your shaving blade on the top-cap with the post then this shim-blade on top.
So, the shim blade is actually closest to the base plate while the shaving blade is closest to the top-cap. I saw this in the GeoFatBoy u-tube video recently but his objective is to make a razor more aggressive while mine is to make the shaving blade more rigid and not flex & chatter especially going atg.
Pics below as per my explanation...1-4. Notice the shim-blade with both sharp cutting edge snip-off.

Tomorrow's shave with the Gillette Super Adjustable with the same shim blade to make it more aggressive...

Hey, thanks for asking. Yes, 2 blades together. You can see how GeoFatBoy does it on u-tube. That's how I learned...

Slant razor is really something different (for me at least). It tends to give more efficient shave results. I have the Razorock G37 and Parker Semi-Slant too and really like them.....but this Yaqi Slant is...a good challenge with excellent results!
