Merry Christmas on this fine Christmas day. The stars were out last night, this morning chilly, but sunny. The birds are taking advantage of the properly filled feeder, and the squirrels digging for their morning snack. A wonderful day to be alive and with those who love you and yours. The wife and I got the Christmas cards in the mail yesterday, wrapping presents while the kids are visiting some other of their relatives. It's been busy here, to say the least.
A new package in the mail yesterday, no time to open it till today. My two Yaqi razor heads arived, in time for todays shave.
Took out the slant one, promptly installed a new Feather blade then tightened the RR DE-1 handle to it. Using some Razorock Gold Label soap, washed with a light coating for the pre-shave, rinced, then lathered up for the job at hand.
The soap starts with citrus note, then fades away quickly to a more woodsy scent. I'm not good at picking out items in the scent, not sure what it is, but its good. I noticed they aren't selling a matching AS, so maybe the confidence in this scent isn't there, or it's just sold out. Lather and slickness is top end, no issues there.
The razor head matches well to the handle, good choice there. This razor makes no bones about showing off your blade of choice, has more blade showing than any other razor I own, bar none, it looks marvelously evil when loaded. The first swipe with this tool said to me, time to rumble. The razor doesn't just make noise, nor does it just talk a little, it carries on a full conversation, while you shave. The first pass was great, need to ride the cap on this like a mad man. The second pass sealed the deal, smooth and clean. The head shave was as good, all the while it's chattering away. My wife loves the results, a fine Christmas shave indeed.

No issues on the maiden shave for this bad boy. Everything else worked as expected.
Wondering what the other razor head shaves like in comparison to this one.
Everyone!
Enjoy!
