It just doesn't stir my Single Edge soul
I would not let that thing anywhere near my face Christ I'm clumsy enough with a fully functioning, properly aligned razorAny how I still shaved with it & it shaves great, even with the defect I had one of the best shaves I had in a long time couldn't detect any difference even with the skew, but still i expected better at least a even blade alignment I contacted Yaqi about a replacement head or a refund.
That is a pretty bad alignment issue there. I'd put it down to poor QC and would certain put me off any potential purchase.
I still can't get over the numbering system of the adjustable - 1,2,3,6,5,4 - awesomeYaqi seem to have a record for poor QC and often putting out razors that aren't fully tested and need a design revision (eg Adjustable on v2, Katana on v3), even this one is already on v2. I'd be really wary to buy any of their razors when they are first released to the market.
In the Yaqi FB user group I remember reading a post by the guy from Maggards (I presume one of their largest OEM consumers) who had one of the first Katanas and he was really unimpressed with the QC and design of the first release.
To their credit though, Yaqi do send out replacements if you raise objections with their QC, they have done so for the defective brushes I have been sent in the past.

I agree horrible QC, I hope they refund me or send me a replacement, One of my friends had ordered one his one came today &, it has the same issue.That is a pretty bad alignment issue there. I'd put it down to poor QC and would certain put me off any potential purchase.
Meanwhile, I'm into the second week of fabulous BBS shaves with this underdog. Still the same Schick Proline blade.
It's really awkward how bad (IP infringement, poor QC) and how good (outstanding shaves) this razor is.
