    You can never have too many razor comparison videos. It’s good for people who are new or on the fence about what to buy. Take care and be safe sir.

      This was a replacement head that as I understand it was NOT supposed to have been sent to me. It's a beta-version that is already being revised.
      Blade-gap is 2.0 mm and blade-exposure is 1.1 mm. It is crazy!
      Have a great 4th of July

      It seems the head is a very aggressive beta-version that should never have been sent to me.

    Nice shave Sig, but man… that shave looked aggressive lol. For me mild DE’S and sharp blades are my go to, and if I want more blade feel I reach for the Feather Kamisori or a straight… and as funny as it sounds, I think they are safer and easier on the skin than a super aggressive SE or DE. Have a great weekend my brother!

      It was! My skin needs TLC after this!
      I like to feel the blade in the razor and that it's cutting. But there's too much of a good thing, sometimes!
      I've just heard that there's a revised v3 being done. I'm looking forward to trying it.

      @@SIGSOLO you’re welcome and oh yes, you’re going to need a bit of TLC for sure lol! I’m not a fan of blade feel personally… every razor I’ve used with too much blade feel has ended poorly, but of course we are all different! Hopefully the V3 works out a bit better.

    That was an interesting comparison. I love the Occams on the three plate. After watching you use that Yaqi, I think I will give that a miss lol.
    When you were talking about the brush and mentioned a "wobbly head" I thought to myself, "I know that feeling", certainly for the last couple of weeks considering the meds I have been taking🥴🤪🥴🤪

      It seems that I got a beta v3 version as a replacement of the v2 that was misaligned. It’s being revised because it came out crazy aggressive.
      i had my engineer friend measure the blade-gap and blade-exposure with his fancy laser equipment.
      Get ready to be schocked!!

    Press lightly on the ends of the blade, bending slightly when loading the Occam’s razor, this will stop the slight movement feel👌

    Hey Sig. I bought the Raster razor and I am having a delivery delay because Yaqi is changing the head. You may have the original head. I would check with Yaqi and make sure. The Stirling soap always works well.
    Take care and enjoy your day.

    Very interesting and enjoyable video Sig, we all learn from observation when shaving in this hobby.
    I have the Yaqi Excalibur Version #1 and it is a nice tame mid range and I very much enjoy the shaves. Your technique is off from watching the video with the Yaqi Raster V3 IMO. You should not go steep (riding the bar)for most SE razors, they are designed like using a straight razor concept by using a Shallow technique(riding the cap). Try riding the cap more on a aggressive SE might make it a better shave. It takes a few shaves to dial in the proper approach with any SE razor . You did alright for the first time with a SE shave IMO.
