I often watch never left message - very refreshing you using a very low cost razor & praising how good it is - in fact I ordered 1 tonight to try - hopefully it’s the right version (FS - SE, only version in stock) to try + the colorful handle really nice too so I had to get 1 as well😆 ~ Saludos
Couldn't watch live as it was at 3am my time in China. I have this razor in both versions, the Katana gunmetal with the longer slimmer handle seems better balanced to me tbh. Though the handle is fluted rather than knurled, the flair on it makes it very easy to hold, even with wet hands.Thanks for the videos, always enjoy your commentary and little hints and tips.Polsilver is my favourite blade and I'm up to six uses in my Fatip Piccolo Special Edition, smooth as butter, so i think I need to try in the Yaqi SE
Thanks for another great video Michael. Living in Australia, I suspect I’ll never catch one of your live shaves live, but still good to watch retrospectively. One question: on the Razor Burn podcast you mentioned a series of Steven Erikson novels. Were you referring to Malazan Book of the Fallen series? I’ve just recently started reading the first one.
That's the series! Stick with it, the book drops you right into the story, no hand holding! Great characters, great world building, deep world, and gets better and better every time you read them!
I was wondering how I ended up ordering one of these razors....now I remember.....2nd watch of the vid. I like this razor head....beats most SE razors.
Hi Mike, I’m just getting into wet shaving and have spent some time getting the technique. IF you had to pick; which adjustable DE razor would you buy to start in your experience? I appreciate the videos!
@@mfreedberg thank you a bunch sir! I can definitely say you’re the reason I got into this hobby and have greatly enjoyed the art of shaving! Thank you again and I look forward to the next video
A very interesting razor, worth a try. (Where can one find it at $9?) Also, has this Williams cream any connection to the successor in interest to the J.B. Williams company, or has the makers of this cream just appropriated the name? (Just curious.)
Darnell Fuller -- I have been away from the channel for a while, apologies if it does not ring a bell right away! I will have a look at the channel, that might jog my memory.
@@mfreedberg yeah I know, the first channel I had was Diesel power if you remembered but then I deleted it. So now I have 2 different TH-cam accounts now, Darnell Fuller and then the channel that I have right now werewolf of the moon
Yaqi dosen't know what is smooth razor. All razors that they producing, are from aggressive to death razors. Like helmet and slant. The slant head kills easily elephant with a Feather blade. haha.
I would agree too but the DOC and the Scalloped one are very smooth too. As long as you can find the right blade for you. Btw just had an irritation free close shave with the Yaqi Slant with a Voskhod loaded. So smooth but dont you dare to press down with it. You can mute its aggression with a mild blade inside. And dont buff with it. Once you are done you are done. Dont overshave. (Said TRex who does 4 passes & touchups)
Yaqi made a good product! Inexpensive, efficient and nice looking! Thank you, Michael! Good stream!
Very much so, again thanks
Hi Mike. I'm glad you posted this. I've had one of these razors for months and like you absolutely love it! All the best

I hope you enjoy it, and the handle remains a low cost favorite. Let me know what you think once you get it!
Hey Michael, caught the replay, always a pleasure to catch your videos!
Thanks for the info.
Take care from Montréal, Québec
Haha je Nederlands is top!! Great shave video! Have been hesitating about getting that Yaqi head, definitely will get it.
Smakelijk :D
Love long handle brushes. I seek them out. So there

I looked at that other handle, which is actually kind of a cool design!
Try the Polsilver, I have a feeling it’s going to be great!
@@mfreedberg Will do, thanks

Are you back?
I was wondering how I ended up ordering one of these razors....now I remember.....2nd watch of the vid. I like this razor head....beats most SE razors.
It seems that Yaqi's taking orders in, and shipping from, Australia these days. (I wonder why?) No more free shipping from China.
Even if you order from the Ali Express webshop directly? Huh, I will have to go back and look at the page for that head!
What are some soaps that are like paste-y and more dense than regular ?

I think I might do the Rockwell 6S, I find many of the others are just a notch too aggressive overall.
@@mfreedberg thank you a bunch sir! I can definitely say you’re the reason I got into this hobby and have greatly enjoyed the art of shaving! Thank you again and I look forward to the next video
Thanks, really appreciate that!! Videos will be here and there nowadays, but they will be there!

I found it for $9 on the AliExpress Yaqi site, let me know if you cannot find it.
@@mfreedberg can’t find it, most of them are $30+

Which blade is working in the SE better for you?
So far all I am using is the Polsilver, so not sure!
Yaqi dosen't know what is smooth razor. All razors that they producing, are from aggressive to death razors. Like helmet and slant. The slant head kills easily elephant with a Feather blade. haha.
The slant is pretty aggressive, I would agree, but this head is quite the opposite: quite smooth with very little blade feel.
@@mfreedberg Could it be half the Maggards head, the aggressive one?
I would agree too but the DOC and the Scalloped one are very smooth too. As long as you can find the right blade for you.
