YAQI "The final cut" OPEN COMB DE

[JAHE]

I happened to notice YAQI that has released an open comb version of their budget adjustable razor "The Final Cut".

Looking forward to reading your thoughts and reviews...

Already watched a YT review, it seems quite more aggressive than it's closed comb counterpart.

I guess that is exactly what has to be expected from an OC sibbling.

But the question remains how aggressive the TFCOC () shaves on different settings.

We shall see...!

Nope. I'll stick with finishing GRUYERE for now... but maybe I'll order one of these in 2025.

At NZ$64 incl tax, I may have to wait a couple of weeks, but I think I'll order it.

@JOJOBG - can you share a link to the review? I can only find one for the Ultima.

For the ones that were not part of the world with mandatory second language Russian in high school, there is the magic of auto-translated subtitles/captions from the CC button on YT interface. Cheers Jim. I'm from EU/BG "приятел"

I was surprised by Yaqi's philosophy to launch this new razor to satisfy more people and the needs of many more enthusiasts, as they stated when they released this beautiful razor:

"To make such a razor available to more people, we have launched a new Yaqi Final Cut Open Comb in zinc alloy. The razor's recognizable geometry, ease of adjustment and use, and high quality of manufacturing are all retained in the novelty. The changes have been made to the extra bottom plate.

Even fans of Open Comb shaving will be able to enjoy a high-quality and affordable shave with the ability to adjust the degree of aggression."

Yaqi declares these GAP difference

GAP:

1: 0.65 mm
2: 0.75 mm
3: 0.85 mm
4: 1.00 mm
5: 1.15 mm
6: 1.35 mm

I loved the zamac version and hated the brass version, so stainless is out too despite being lighter than brass. I wish they’d make a Ti version.
