Nice shave Jim. I watched the last shave you did with the RR Sloc and forgot to comment. The RR Sloc head is zamac and only the handle is SS. Your Yaqi head with the slots is SS, they also do a zamac head with posts. I have read that yaqi make the head (zamac) for RR. Be well and safe travels 🙏🙏
Thanks for the head to head SLOC comparison Jim, although I think you will find the RR SLOC is a Zamac head made in China, probably by Yaqi and rebranded. Also the Yaqi SLOC razor you have is the CNC machined SS version which cost lot more than the RR Zamac version and I believe has a bigger blade gap. Take care Jim and travel safely🤟🤠🤟
Very nice head-to-head shave Jim! As you say, it's hard to do a true comparison due to differences in technique, holding the razors against each side of the face and using both hands. Not an easy task but you succeeded with style. Since some parts of the Razorock razors come from China anyway, it all comes down to price. Safe travels!

Thank you. Someone else commented about the razor head being Zamac.

Many thanks 😊
Great review of the Melon. Just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you so much. Do you have a channel?
Great video! I have the RR SLOC & was thinking about getting the SS Mellon head. What blades are you using for this video?
Hello buddy. If memory serves correctly, the blade was the Euromax. I hope that this helps
