Indeed but to have that finish would take quite some time to be polished to perfection!! Not easy on hands that’s for sure lol

I can only imagine. It certainly sounds like painful work, especially with that level of metal work detail. You probably have a lot of tight spots to get into on this razor.

I'd really love if a Bohin owner would compare the Bohemia.
So (maybe) my words can be clear.

It is interesting. Look forward to someones review of the shaving success or failure. To me, it looks like trying to drive a tank across your face.

As someone who owns a Bohin I can tell right away it is not an exact copy besides the handle not being the same. The shoulders are also different. They are not 90 degrees parallel the razor head. The are like 92 or so degrees which allows you to adjust how much blade sticks out past the end of the cap. A Bohin is not only a reversible plate, it is double differential head, all 4 sides are slightly different, then the shoulders add another layer of adjustablity because they are asymetrical something this Yaqi razor is missing.
