• Hi all,

                 I had strange overly aggrasive/efficient shave today with the Yaqi katana SE I didn't know what blade to use
         so I snaped a 7 oclock in two and loaded it as it seemed to fit on close inspection it had a big blade gap and exposure.
         (See pics 2&3) but I battled on "bad move" on the first pass WTG ok but to much blade it shave was super close with 1 nick.
         Ok but not good second pass ATG was like running a very very sharp pocket knive up the side of my neck and face.
         But I battled on nicked my jaw line both sides and my uper left cheak!!
         Like just about all long time shaver I pride myself on not cutting my face up.
         The lesson here is find out which blade fits the razor before use just had to google but No.
         Check the blade angle in the head or else.
         Ive since been told subi shaves on youtube has a blade hack for this razor head.
         So no blade fit this razor? WTF.

         On the good side the Fine Latigo soap is great good cushioning and aftershave feel.

         The 4711 splash in nice with a lasting scent and well priced.

          1 pass WTG 1 AGT done no touchups unfortunately 4 nicks a disaster.
          Enjoy your shave.
          Cheers.

OOF!! - I often do that - setup wrong and persevere and then spend the rest of the day grumbling on how I should have changed the blade/used a different brush/prepared better/lathered more....

Im hearing you.
