Yaqi Ultima

Anyone get their hands on one yet?  Watched a few good reviews on the tube but I always like hearing from this community.

It is the Yaqi Final Cut in stainless steel from what I've read from people not taking money to pimp Yaqi products on social media.

Yes.  I’d like to see a few reviews from ‘normal’ guys.

I bought mine... My thoughts after its first use:
Its not quite a stainless version of the TFC. The TFC has scallops on the safety bars - the Ultima (and the brass version) dont.

One shave in and the its a great shaver.
I found that the brass TFC had a bit of drag. I also turned an overclock dial for it and it came closer to the original TFC.
There is no drag on the stainless steel version and setting for setting, I found it slightly more effecient than the brass version. The original TFC does overclock so this one will very likely be getting an overclock dial in the future and I'm pretty sure that will increase the effeciency level to match the original version.

My other concern was the smooth handle, however while shaving I didn't think about it and towards the end of the shave thought that there was no reason to be conecrned.
It's less that half the price of its nearest stainless steel competitor, so is awesome value for money.

After its second drive, I found no reason to change that opinion. For its next shave I'm going to overclock it and see if my theory is correct.

I think they should have taken a page from competitors and gone for a handle with more knurling.  But if it works, it works.

I also was able to buy one. Three shaves in and its a great razor for the price. I will be honest I'm not sold on the smooth handle. I think the brass version was better overall. Plus I like the longer handle on the brass. Looks like the chrome handle will fit the ultima head just fine. I guess that may be an option if they don't offer a different handle or even a non polished version might offer a better grip.

I fully agree with you.
Maybe it's a mindset, but knurling of sorts, just feels more "secure"

It's a two piece.
For deep cleaning - It breaks down into 6 pieces like a Gibbs and Yaqi's previous two versions, with the handle and twist knob as one of the pieces.
