Chinese clone of Grand Shave King

Not quite that bad. Getting too specific could cause thefts, but all of the delivery companies GPS their trucks. They could give zones.

 

I worked for a subcontractor doing Collections and Disconnections in the Cable TV business. All of us field agents were issued a radio phone to be used while we were out and about. Found out later the boss could bring up each unit and see where you'd been, how long you spent at each stop, where you had lunch, etc. That was not explained when the radio unit was issued. Some guys had a habit of turning theirs off some portion of their day. Can't say the tracking was needed since we were paid commission on what we collected, be it past due bills or equipment. Now I see you can attach this kind of equipment to your children's school backpack.

I received my Yaqi DOC head yesterday and had my first shave with it this morning. The blade was a brand new Astra SP and the handle was from a DeFitch.

General impressions- The head seems to be well made with no obvious issues. The overall design is similar to a Gillette Old Type, except for the slotted cap. One noticeable feature is that the teeth on the baseplate seem short; this is especially noticeable when a blade is loaded as the edge comes very near the end of the teeth. The short comb tends to give the razor a lot of blade feel; I don't know if this is by design, but it should be of interested to those who say that the GSK and PAA razors are too mild. I can't really say if the slotted cap made any difference, though. I suspect that the "lubricating" feature was overrated, but that the smaller surface area might be helpful in cases where the lather was very dry or insufficient.

Overall, I had a very close shave with no issues and only a mild tingle from the Alum.

 

It now comes in pink "for lady":

 

Now THAT looks more Yaoi.

 

Oddly, it's actually less expensive than both the chrome and blue versions.

 

So what's the verdict? Was it worth it?

 

I'm happy. Using the top plate on the Fatip next.

Wow. How picky is the angle?

 

Not picky. With the Fatip plate there's still positive exposure even with the wider cap and enough gap that it was an easy go. Maybe slightly less efficient then stock Piccolo but a worthwhile alternative to the two donor razors.

I found much the same using a Muhle R89 cap with a Fatip base. It reduced the native aggression of the stock Fatip.

That OC cap looks cooler!

The Muhle cap said to be 19.9mm looks wider to me than the Yaqi, so I expect it tames aggression a bit more than the does the DOC. I don't have calipers but I'm guessing the Yaqi measures closer to the Mk2 Fatip (19mm), with the Mk1 being a very narrow 18mm.

Joe works fast, now also for sale at Italian Barber as the Razorock SLOC.

 

Hey - it's all about marketing. He's attracting people through the Razorock name who would never go looking for a 'furrin' razor. Nothing wrong with that at all.

 

Especially at his prices, sure.

You buying the coffee. Friend of mine has his teen daughters car hooked up like that.

 

When was this added?? I was just on their site yesterday, while I was ordering the Yaqi one. I was looking through the "New Stuff " section on Italian Barber, and it was not there at the time. Now when I go back, it's the first thing up. We'll I guess I'll have the Yaqi and maybe the SLOC later...

On Aliexpress, I also spotted a head that was Open Comb on one side and Tech Bar style on the other, made by VIG Shaving. I ended up ordering that to try as well.

On a side note, I figured out that if you check out with two vendors at once on Aliexpress it does not let you use PayPal. But if you check out with both individually you can use PayPal, odd huh...

 

Yep was added last night. I'll have to take a look at that VIG thing. Does it look like the Ikon?
