REAL TALK | YAQI Diagonal | Modern Ibese Slant | ft. Master Soap Creations - Parma Paradise

[@mikeperritte]

Nice shave and awesome pictures. I see where some are coming from but if it isn't patent protected then its available to copy. Keep doing what your doing as I love your reviews and the extras you put into them. Have a great weekend buddy. Hope all is going well

[@SubieShaves]

@@mikeperritte very true -👍👍 Hey thank you for stopping in and joining me for the shave man!! It was a blast going this - I was shocked at .35 gap this thing shaves as good as it does!

[@Stubblemeetssteel]

Looks like a great slant for sure. Love the looks on this one. Vintage looks with modern touches and SS.

[@SubieShaves]

@@Stubblemeetssteel it is 100% all the above! I really like this one - probably their smoothest slant to date crazy enough 🤣👍 Thanks for stopping in my friend!

[@gravesit]

Nice shave and thanks for spotlighting other brands. Ordered the brush 😏

[@SubieShaves]

@@gravesit you can count on it! When it comes to talking JUST the gear I am proud to leave out all the nonsense. Thank you for watching - awesome brush!!

[@Menemisbond]

i just ordered both brush and the razor. thank you for the review.

[@SubieShaves]

@@Menemisbond heyyy thanks for letting us know!! Report back when you get them and let us know your thoughts!? Curious how this mild slant shaves for ya!

[@Cr0sswalk]

Nice shave really love you stay to the product review part of reviews and leave all the hating to the haters

[@SubieShaves]

@@Cr0sswalk hey not being willing to "rubber stamp a brand name" has actually made some companies not work with me. I refuse to say something is great simply because of a logo or "brand affiliate link". I honestly don't trust a review when they say "well it's by X brand/Artisan so it's good or bad". I also don't believe in saying "this is bad product because it is a clone/similar design to something already made". I love me some Creed Aventus - but I also enjoy the clones...they aren't the same - but that doesn't mean I dont enjoy them (if that makes sense). Bottom line - I value my integrity and only review products based on what I actually experience. In my opinion that is the only way to be truly impartial and honest about a product 👍 Thanks for tuning in and sharing your opinion my friend!! Always appreciate you here!

[@Menemisbond]

I love the Yaqi brand.

[@SubieShaves]

@@Menemisbond and there isn't anything wrong with that if you ask me!

[@Boxxy.T.Morningwood]

Hi Subie! How does it compare to the Yaqi 37 Slant?

[@SubieShaves]

@@Boxxy.T.Morningwood I think this one it quite a bit smoother and I like the face profile slightly more surprisingly! This .35mm gap razor REALLY took me by surprise! Hoping to do a battle though just to see if there is a clear slant winner between the diagonal and 37 slant! Thank you for the question!

[@Gotobecrazy]

Which one Yaqi is better this razor or the yaqi barbsol floating head design? I watched another unboxing, mentioned you were involved in a collaboration

[@SubieShaves]

@@Gotobecrazy I actually was involved - I recommended they do the razor and sent them my Barbasol FH to work off. It was a really cool experience! Full story here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIK3oXl_d9mmoqM I have to level with you - the Diagonal is a much more tame, more mild, smoother razor and I like the handle better. The Barbasol is awesome but I think I'd actually use the diagonal more often personally. Just my 02 👍

[@Gotobecrazy]

@SubieShaves That's awesome. Not that I need another razor 😆 , the floating head razor seemed intriguing. Also the PAA meta forgot the name (the red ring eclipse clone) or an ascision twist also seemed like cool razor, just wondering if they're worth the money, question they're durability.

[@SubieShaves]

@Gotobecrazy well....we've got some videos for ya hahaha the PAA Meta (Stainless Steel) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqXLaaN5mcSJaqc Post Polish kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4e9d56jocSVpc0 Pre-Polish PAA Quantum kzbin.infoR_4xf2uHQko?feature=share (year ago on the drop) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYLak6Vol8xmlc0 more recent I need to use my Quantum again! Both the PAA razors above are absolutely awesome and offer unique shave experiences and made with quality materials. I like the Quantum comes with an additional plate but overall I actually use my Meta more. The Meta in SS was a little "too machined" for my taste to start but I really like how it looks and performs post polish. I think it turned out really nice and is a very good clone of the Kirby razor. Thank you so much for watching! I get we never need a new razor....but....one more won't hurt 🤣 Happy shaves!

[@tpop3723]

Would this be a good option for someone who’s still a novice at wet shaving?

[@SubieShaves]

@@tpop3723in my opinion here, I think it would be absolutely! I am actually really impressed with the quality and comfort of the shave! I really like the Yaqi Tile / Henson for brand new shavers - but if you're looking to try a slant out this one is sure to impress.

[@SubieShaves]

@@tpop3723 thanks for the question!

[@nonsolorasatura9093]

How is compared the Merkur 37c?

[@SubieShaves]

@@nonsolorasatura9093 way more tame on my skin. Honestly I think this may be one of the most mild Slants I've tried, but man it shaved close! Thanks for the question!

[@lastshadow9351]

Well, should I get ahold of some of the car shifter knob manufacturers or the industrial knob manufactures to let them know that people are stealing their ideas for brush handles! Geez, give me a break with the white knighting, especially anything that uses a lathe or a mill. Helical gears have been around for quite awhile, just ask anybody that does machine work. The razor looks awesome and the handle is an old design that a number of German manufactures used on their razors. It doesn't surprise me that it's a smooth shaver and is more to my liking than the Merkur style. There's a ton of old designs that were really great, but it takes a lot of digging and collecting to discover what's out there. They've really been lucky to have someone with the knowledge to pick out some gems for them to do! This will definitely be one on my list, because I do like a good slant. I hope you're having a great one buddy, take care!

[@SubieShaves]

@@lastshadow9351 ayyyee good points man!! Good thing we have clones or we'd all only have Gillette for razors! 🤣 Dude this is how I hope all the new Yaqi razors look - it's absolutely classic and shaves like a dream!! I hope it goes on sale so more people will snag em! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts my guy!
