Greetings,
Maiden shave with the Yaqi DOC head, & the Pecksniff classic shave cream today.The verdict?...
The yaqi doc head paired up with the 24c handle perfectly, making it a wonderful frankenrazor, the appearance of the head makes it looks very aggressive, but i found it very smooth and efficient,& had no problem at all finding the shaving angle..I'm really impressed by this razor head,i know it's only my first shave with it, but my gut feeling tells me this is going to become one of my favourite razors in my razor rotation...As i've stated before any razor can be aggressive, if you don't treat it with respect..my 24C with a steeper angle is slightly more aggressive,but the Yaqi doc head is equally smooth, i'll have to try a more efficient blade with it, to see what the performance will deliver,as the supermax ss isn't a aggressive blade, All in all, a smooth comfortable ,efficient razor head, which will be appearing again in my future sotd set ups..My favourite frankenrazor set up to date.
Next time out, i'll try the top cap of the Yaqi doc with my muhle r41 bottom plate & 24c handle to make another frankenrazor creation...it's got me thinking now, we shall see?
The pecksniff classic cream, is the last of my 2017 xmas gifts that i've finally got round to trying out, a superb cream that whipped up a excellent protective lather in no time, leaving a nice post shave feeling to my face without any irritation problems.
A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups no-irritation silky smooth shave with no errors to report.
Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.
