Yaqi Ultima Open Comb | Buyers Guide: What to Know and HOW it compares | Ft. YAQI - DRAGON

[@thomasbeaton5467]

My ultima open comb AND slope showed up yesterday. I used the open comb today to shave off a weeks worth of growth. Normally i try to shave every day and use a mild razor. I decided to give this razor a shot at setting 3 and turned out really good! Took it all off in 1 pass. I cant wait to try the slope! Maybe if i use it tomorrow ill stick with setting 1 😅

Best review to date!! Awesome job!!

Awesome Josh! Yaqi has the pedal to the metal and they're not letting up. The razor looks really nice and that handle is something. I'd say that the handle is their own design and the dots were an afterthought to make it pop. Really great to see an open comb where they paid attention to the teeth, so it doesn't feel like you're dragging a fork across your face. Awesome soap to coming fro MSC and he never disappoints. I'm really looking forward to the slant as those are my favorites and those were the kind of razors, that really changed my wet shaving experience. Take care Buddy!

Honestly this seems like genuine creativity. They smashed this handle design out of the park, I love the way it reflects light!! Thank you for watching my friend! And ABSOLUTELY no fork here!

[@thomasbeaton5467]

Man, I usually prefer a milder shave. Even if that's too aggressive for me, I still want it, and the slant! It'll have to wait, though. Funds are being utilized elsewhere. This might be sacrilege, but I ground down the adjustment plate on my ultima and tfc brass to lower the gap, and I love them! I feel like in the last week, I've been pushing the aggression. But that's the beauty of those razors, you can loosen the handle to get more range on the adjustment collar if you need to! I have another trick to make an aggressive razor mild without grinding it if you want to show it on your channel one day. It's a tweak on reverse shimming.

[@SubieShaves]

Dude you're a madman!! Grinding down baseplates, sheesh, we gotta get you a channel 🤣 you'll probably laugh but this one has less gap then the SS flat bar as well, without the grinding. That said - the open comb does give it more blade feel - atleast on my skin. Agreed though, these are gorgeous, and all the parts are interchangeable!! I love what they are doing with the 7 piece design! Honestly with this new release - I feel very confident my rotation doesn't need a change for a while 🤣👍👌 Thanks again for watching my friend!

Nice shave and awesome review. That razor looks awesome and agree with the rounded teeth making a difference on the dome. That soap label looks great as well. Have a great weekend buddy

[@SubieShaves]

The thin skin makes any odd edge or sharp point very apparent. I truly appreciate when companies go the extra mile and make their razors super smooth and comfortable on the skin WITHOUT a blade in it. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Leenunes007]

S'up, Subes! I like what you said about the teeth on the comb. I don't mind blade feel, but I'm not a fan of prickly teeth. Some companies think more about tolerances and precision than comfort when it comes to the comb. I want good tolerances with the parts that fit together, but smooth edges that contact my skin.

[@SubieShaves]

Amennnnn!! I've used some from the vintage era that made me want to reach for bandaids 😂 for me it's all about skin feel - and this one gets it right! Thank you for stopping over man!

[@linkage12000]

This was a great review (as always) and this is a great looking razor. Yaqi is killing it and making really nice affordable products. I have three or for and have no complaints about any f them. Great video as always.

[@SubieShaves]

No complaints from me either!!! Absolutely agreed man, loving their stuff! Thanks so much for stopping by!

[@seansylvia3188]

I like that guys idea of grinding down baseplate. I think that a lower starting blade gap with slightly less blade exposure would be perfect IMO.

[@SubieShaves]

Just got to make sure to do it level 👍

[@mastersoapcreations730]

Phenomenal video bro 😁

[@SubieShaves]

Thank you so much my friend!! Love your stuff!!

[@seansylvia3188]

Anyone know what the blade exposure measurements are on all these Yaqi adjustables?

[@SubieShaves]

I have a Actually asked them a few times for these measurements and told they don't provide them. Not sure if anyone has measured them themselves though. 👍

[@rhawara]

Can you point me to where you picked up the new spring? Thx
