Yaqi razors with pics

Two notes. One, on the chrome DOC you can easily buff or sand the logo off the top cap. Two, the DOC cap is a great match with the R41 bottom plate.

Nice pictures and report. The Yaqi brushes are good, so why wouldn't the razors be.
It would be interesting to compare the DOC with the other DOC razors. Unlikely that anybody has the set, but maybe.
I'll look at these further in the Yaqi store to see what the metals are, the price, etc.
Happy shaves,
Jim

Is there any chance you can maybe upload some profile shots with a blade loaded in the DOC head so we can get an idea of blade exposure and guard span distance?
If you own any Gillette 3 piece razors, do the handles fit the Gillette heads?
Along the lines of the pics below. If you'd be so kind.
Like the GSK and mild PAA there is negative blade exposure (clear in second pic), small blade gap, but large guard span.

Thanks for the pics.
Lots of blade showing beneath the cap and yeah, very generous guard span.
It looks similar also to the RR Old Type, another mild shaver as I understand it. I've read it can benefit from a shim between the cap and blade.
My RAD had a sudden flare up, but its dead again lol.

If Mike can ask for things, so can I. I want pictures like this.
That's not asking too much, I hope.
Link to Grant's thread on the PAA DOC with other photos. Great analysis.

Now I realize it is an open comb razor. I found it on Ali Express but it says it is "chrome color", which is not the same as chrome. It also says it is light and made out of aluminum. Here is the link:

Again let us know how close it shaves and also, please comment on the weight and quality of the "chrome color finish".

I don't think the Yaqi has as much negative exposure as the PAA.

Thanks for the great pictures
Do you know if they're threaded the same as Gillette 3 piece heads?

I did this one with my phone.
Doesn't have to be perfect to capture most of what Mike is looking for, I think.
This photo is of the head of my SS Colonial General. I cropped the original to focus on what I wanted to illustrate.

I saw what I needed to see in the pics he did post. I'm currently fighting a RAD flare up and having crazy ideas about a DOC Fatip Grande or NEW SC lol.
