Third time isn’t

27.07.2021 by Andrew

  • Prep: Hot Shower
  • Prep: Phoenix Shaving – Cube 2.0 Unscented
  • Razor: Yaqi – Stamford, Razorock – Lupo Aluminium
  • Blade: Derby Usta
  • Brush: Yaqi – Lucky Dice
  • Lather: Phoenix Shaving – Clubguy
  • Post-shave: Proraso – Alum Block

I’m very much having mixed feelings and experiences with my new Yaqi razor.

Tried another head shave with the Yaqi, and again even with just a few days growth, it failed to cut through a vast majority of my dome’s growth. I resorted to my Razorock again to finish the job.

I have to look closer, but I almost wonder if the blade exposure on the Yaqi isn’t enough to give me a clean cut, although I have only tried two blades with it so far. I might have to try a few more brands.

However the Yaqi worked well on my face with my last shave, so it really is a YMMV kind of razor.
