Yaqi Aggressive Slant - a $10 masterpiece

... Yaqi Top Aggressive Slant ... the most aggressive Yaqi razor.

More than Knight Helmet?

Yes, I bought that one for comparison. The slant is both more comfortable and more efficient

Wow, greater efficiency than the Knight Helmet is saying something. Now I’ve got to get one! Thanks!

I am quite sure you will like it!!

Thank you very much, just ordered it. The head will fit standard handles I suppose....

Yes. I have tried mine on ikon/maggard/razorock handles, successfully.

Well mine finally arrived last night and hope to get to it in the next few days

Got mine and a half of a week's growth came off in an efficient way.
One thing I did notice is the top cap has a little bit of overhang from the plate, which looked odd. It seems to be in the design, the top cap overhang.

Yep, I noticed that too but appears as you said to be the design

I ordered one in Gunmetal and it arrived a few days ago. Lol, I'm afraid to use it!

If you bought it, you might as well give it a go!  Let us know how it was after you’ve tried it.

Razor: Yaqi Top Aggressive Slant
Blade: Wizamet (1)
Brush: Rubberset 400/Cashmere
Soap: PdP No. 63
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Nivea Deep
Fragrance: PdP No. 63 EdT

So the soap I didn't go with the Wholly Kaw and Brut I was planning as I watched a Fuzzy video and it reminded me I haven't used my No. 63 in awhile and was craving it. The razor up was a Signature handle with the Yaqi Top Aggressive Slant that is touted as "The Most Aggressive" Yaqi Razor. Let me say that although I've been accused of liking aggressive razors I don't agree. I'm more a mid aggressive razor guy. I like effective razors that have rigidly held blades that don't have blade chatter/give. This I will say is NOT in my wheel house. The blade is NOT held rigid close to the edge and it has play for tough whiskers. Not getting into a macho contest here but it is what it is. This thing is a beast the requires a ride the cap approach (not a preference of mine) that still for me was not comfortable. At halfway thru the 1st (wtg) pass I considered bailing out of finishing with it but did continue with the xtg and atg with it. I had 3 spots that it grabbed me on the atg pass and needed a touch of styptic to address which it did quickly. That said I got a glass like smooth face finish but I feel raw even as I type this. Easy to have a glass smooth shave when you remove a few layers of epidermis. This isn't for me but glad I tried it for the $8.50 entry point and can say I been there and did that.......................I guess Big Grin Hope everyone has a great day and look forward to others thoughts in the thread discussing this on DFS since they appear to be arriving now in the states !!
