But finally has arrived the V2 of Yaqi Mellon. (SRH050)

Fully redesigned, made in AISI 316.
Same concept, more efficient.
If they nailed, now It's perfect!!!

I do like my RazoRock SLOC.



When you do blade buffing (without lifting the blade) it does a good job of dragging the lather back over the same spot.

I do like my RazoRock SLOC.

For sure. It is the Yaqi Mellon V1.

I'm more interested in V2 experience.
Better in comparison with V1.
Very tempted!!!

When I tried the V1 some time ago I was expecting an efficient shave but it was very mild. It was too mild to use despite its double comb threatening appearance. I hope this version works out for you and you can share your experience.

The stainless steel mellon head has 12 teeth and a gap of .40. Appears that also the arch and blade clamping is different on the stainless. Plus it a a bit wider. Not sure if it covers the blade. So in a nutshell appears they did not just model the zamak version into stainess. The zamak mellon head has a .25 gap. , thirteen teeth (as the sloc) blade over hang...
I think the stainless looks interesting but at 46 US bucks it looses my interest quick.......ya ya it is polished but still 46....hard pass...

Note: yaqi had the specs as 43mm x 24mm...fyi...no biggie but still at 46 bucks....to much for this guy to try....lol
