Yaqi Kamisori & Shavettes

[donnie_arko]

I had a look at their Australian dealer's website and came across these

Shavettes

These new style Shavettes are a great tool for both Barber and Wet Shaver. One can use them for a total shave or for delicate areas like under the nose, neck & sideburns. Shavettes are also great for trimming your beard. Shavettes also offer a good starting point for those interested in moving...

The Australian site also sells their knots individually.

A shame they aren't selling them directly from their Aliexpress site.

Word on the street is Yaqi have an AC SE razor on the way and the head is an almost direct copy of the Blackland Vector

These look like good value. Some of the best shaves I've ever had have been with an AC blade shavette.

I wonder when their adjustable is for sale...

Those shavettes look like the Univinlions offerings

It exists

It exists

Wow - it's an identical copy. I'm assuming it's zamak rather than stainless judging by the chrome.

I think that's the Katana which takes a half DE blade. The one that's yet to be released is AC format and is a copy of the Vector

I'd decided to ignore SE razors and stick with a couple of DEs & some straights but this slim, lightweight design looks really nice.

Someone talk me out of it. Please tell me the Vector can't shave as smooth as a Fatip Piccolo.

It's way better. I've kept my Vector and sold my Fatip

 

[mcgruff]

Noooo!

 

[Boycie83]

Noooo!

Saying that, you don't neeeeeed a Vector

I found a Yaqi Katana on Aliexpress. It seems to use these heads - but they're listed as only 42mm wide. Maybe this is a "SE" razor intended for DE blades snapped in half, like a shavette?

Yes - the Katana takes snapped DE blades. Doesn't seem to be much info available on their Vector offering.
