Yeah Mike, I didn't have a father figure to teach me anything like DE shaving and because of that and how I struggled in my life to learn manly stuff and how even to play all the man rolls ,I now want to be a mentor to guys like me or anyone that just needs a hand up. Thanks for your comment Mike ~! Kit

You are welcome ... you will find the Mellon Open comb head quite mild and a lot of people like it. Kit

Thanks, I am trying to get the last two heads from Yaqi to complete the lineup review! What is next for you in vids Bill? Kit

Use what I've got, maybe use something i haven't used in a while

Karl I find peoples experience with the Mellon Head so baffling... The reason is I can not get a good shave with the mellon head to save my life. On the other hand the New Flipside is a killer good shaver IMHO. Kit

Thank you Jeffrey! Kit

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 you are welcome

It's great to find your "BEST" shaving gear , right? Kit

Thanks Abe ! Kit

I am so thankful to have you to make comments and as a New Subscriber ! I hope you find a lot of good stuff in my 30 plus videos ! Thanks again Kit

My later video's run shorter LOL Kit

No worries. Also wanted to ask you about the MingShin(or Merkur Futur), do you have any difficulty around the nose area? Some people say the Futur head is big and hard to maneuver. And are there any other razors you would recommend for a relative novice? I got a Baili BR179 a few weeks ago (my first DE), it works good but feels a bit cheap to me, also its not quite as close as i would like. I liked the style of the Yaqis-- matte black, colors, weighty, nice design, etc. but just looking for a stylish Quality razor for long term use that hopefully doesn't break the bank

@@giant_avocado7973 Man you sound exactly like me when talking about the Ming Shi and the Baili razors. I hate the Ming Shi because of how fat the head is and it is almost impossible to get up under my nose with it. I parked that razor two years ago for good. Also same issue with the baili razors. They just don't shave close enough because they are a shave number razor of 3.0 on the one to ten scale. Now I will give you two razors that I absolutely use myself and will never part with. The BEST razor I have ever used Is the Razorock Game Changer .84 It is a very thin head it does not have exposed blade ends, it is made from 316 Marine Grade Steel, It is perfect and I suggest getting it with the Barber Pole Handle. Best Razor on the planet aggression level is a perfect 4.0 an it sells for $57.99. Secondly for a super smooth shave and 4.5 aggression shave number the Razorock German 37 Slant Bar DE is really Great and is only about 20 bucks From Italianbarber.com I highly suggest those two shavers. They are my absolute best ~! I get deep BBS shaves with Both. Rapira Platinum Lux in the Game Changer Point 84 and Voskhod Blades in the German 37 Slant. Good luck and great shaves. Kit

Will definitely look into both for sure on your recommendation! Thank you and keep up the great work

@@giant_avocado7973 I retired recently from making video's but will leave my content up. I accomplished the mentoring that I had in me and Now I just shave for Kit ~!

Yes you got it ........ the Beast I think is more like an 8 though ... Kit

That is a problem ....the only stand I found is the Black Plastic Stands on ali Express and even then you have to hang it just between the knot and the bottom of the handle George. Kit

I would say yes I believe handles would be interchangeable~!

Guilherme , The Beast is an 8 on the aggression Scale and smooth considering to blade gap. I don't have experience with a Mercury Futur Do you mean Merkur ? But even though I came up with the Beast Hybrid Easy Flow Head for the Yaqi Company I don't use aggressive heads for my shaves at all anymore... isn't that Ironic~! LOL Kit

Thanks... and sorry for my phone's text corrector..

@@ggj1977 Don't you just hate the text corrector ~! Kit

Yeah Mike the Beast Easy Flow head I came up with for Yaqi now sells really well and the shave angle Is "normal " but man is it aggressive ~! It is an 8 on the one to ten Scale. So you are right NOT a newbie razor ~! Kit

B Chan when I came up with the Beast ......right .....I wanted to bring out what it did best ... Yes the Yaqi Scalloped Base plate that has cut out slots in it when combined with the large gap from under the blade to safety bar gives and incredible EASY FLOW of the soap out the the slots of the base plate. It does not work like a open comb by pushing soap under the base plate but rather the soap goes under the blade and out the large slots of the base plate. It works like a very efficient closed comb head but still has the open comb top cap from the Yaqi Mellon Head. Truly, I never used a razor where it was less possible to clog up. The term Easy Flow totally came from me and totally what I think of it...... I thought of it and I named it for Grace Chen at Yaqi. The Beast Hybrid Easy Flow Aggressive Head is now Yaqi's number two best seller ever in their line up. I also came up for Yaqi the Your Choice Line Razor that has three heads and is sells pretty well too ! Not bad for an old man like me huh ? Kit

Excellent Stuff. I'm a little confused though, are there two plates with cut-outs, one scalloped and one cobbed? I think you are doing a great job as the YAQI range is obviously good, but far too hard to understand to be commercially accepted. I hope I too can unravel the mystery for them and help present the range in an easy to understand manner. The "Your Choice" Razor, can't find reference to that anywhere other than your site, can you explain more about it? Or can you direct me to a video maybe?

B Chen the Yaqi cobbed head is not made the same as the Yaqi scalloo head both are closed comb razor and both have soap channel slots. I would venture to say two different factory sources. The Yaqi cobbed is less aggressive to shave with is all in practical terms. The Cobbed head shaves at level 5 and the Scalloped head at level 6 . Kit

My video on the Your Choice Razor ! kzfaq.info?o=U&video_id=Yma45QgTdL8

You mean the Yaqi Grace diamond twinkle handles ?

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 ok

T Rex there is a DLC is that the one you are asking about ? The scallop head and the cobbed head have large enough gaps to take down many days growth . The open comb mellon head is too mild to give a good shave for me period. Kit

Yes, I'm talking for the DLC. So, I may go with the closed comb Kit. I often shave 6-7 days of growth. But I like the design of the DLC a lot.

@@T-R.e.x It will do it for you ~! Level 6 on the one to ten aggression level score and I never had that razor plug up yet . Kit

Level 6/10 the closed comb? Or the DLC Kit?

@@T-R.e.x Okay the Scalloped head Is closed comb and level 6 the cobbed head is closed comb and level 5 the beast has a closed comb bottom and the open comb top and is a level 8 The mellon head is an open comb and is a level 2 or very very mild and the only on I don't suggest for what you want to do. Yaqi calls a lot of their razors DLC's So if you still don't know which ones I am talking about let me know ~! Kit

Duncan Rossiair Wow thanks for the comment and for the Subscription. I really like getting subs from guys that will participate and comment. Very encouraging to me so thank you ~! Kit

Akis hd If you have an idea for Yaqi I suggest you go to the Yaqi Facebook page and message Grace Chen. Often Yaqi will will take suggestions from their customers. Kit

The melon head never worked for me either ~! Kit

@@deshavetalkwithkit8935 top cap it's nice to combine with other razors

@@alexmitros4959 Yes I know ~! Did you know I was the one that named and ask Yaqi to market the Beast Head ? So yes I know what you can do with the melon top cap ~! Kit
