The new Yaqi AC Style SE it's coming.
Two different razors:
RAMC2103 with brass handle

RASB2102 with aluminium handle

On 26th February should be available in a first batch.
Then in the next month as usual via Yaqi shop and dealers.
The price could be around £20 for brass one, and £15 for aluminium one.

Just a doubt about the handle shape.
Very thin, with just 10mm ...

Yaqi service is nice.
Some Excalibur topcaps are not straight.
Replacing on the way.

Mine seems to be straight and shaves pretty well.

A lot of truth here and no one advocates theft of property, intellectual or otherwise. Sometimes no matter the argument or agreement, one can't purchase a 200 or 300 dollar razor. I left other forums because of the attitude expressed and espoused by many of the posts here.


I remember when I was a boy, I desperately wanted a motorcycle so I could be like those badass construction workers who ride their chopped and bobbed cb's TO WORK! but it wasn't going to happen to me; we had to buy things like digging a well and a water pump so that we didn't have a another winter of using the becosse. I eventually got a bike that looked a little like a motorcycle, and then a ten speed a few years later built from parts. Then once in college I was able to get a nicer bike that came with all the parts and already assembled! I'm much older now and my fear of poverty has influenced my choices such that I am comfortably riding on my 5th and 6th motorcycles now and 8 year old me would be really impressed by 48 year old me.

Anyone reading this knows blackland won't and doesn't want anyone to admire and aspire to their products, not by anything written in this thread.

This thread's suffocating attitude is not for me and you've shown me it's time that I shift into the passing lane.

I wish you all success and prosperity but the simple fact is poor people shave too. They can also read.

The worse thing about this whole situation is that youtubers are promoting this Yaqi razors without even mentioning  the originals they are based on.
First, the Yaqi adjustable and then this and it's getting out of hand.

I really don't how can you be so upset of such a thing..
I would love to own a Vector or any expensive razors, but i can't afford them. maybe in the future i will or maybe i wont. That does not mean i can't admire them.
I would love to own a Vacheron Constantin or at least a Rolex watch, but i can't afford them. Instead, i own a 300$ Seiko and a 300$ Orient and guess what: i'm very proud of them and of myself for choosing to buy some original watches instead of a Rolex knock off. They do the job just as well as the Rolex and Vacheron.
Thank God we have so mane razors to choose from these days. Who says that The Vector is the mother of all razors? Why can't R41, Merkur Progress ore some other razors work as well for you as The Vector works for others?

I for one will miss your contributions to the forum around here. I looked forward to your .7 posts a month over the past 4+ years  Big Grin

One thing is to read.
Another is to understand.

Okay, to get back to the real topic, my Excalibur/Raster arrived from China today and I immediately opened it up and found that the head and handle were not screwed together. Not a real problem until I found out that there was a blade seated in the head, which fell out as I was taking the head apart. My blade seated correctly and did not have the slant that ischiapp had with his. The handle was nice, but very heavy and thin and smooth, which might create a problem while shaving. Not a major problem as I could easily change handles with anything else. Since tomorrow is Feather Friday for me, the first shave will wait until then. For now, all I will say is that Blackland Razors should be pissed that Yaqi ripped off his intellectual property, but looking at the cast zamak head, he doesn't have to look over his back anytime soon.

Sure looks like the blade is straight but the head is crooked in relation to the blade.......
