Yaqi Slope

These were announced on 22nd January 2024 along with the "Yaqi Ultima Open Comb".
They stayed with the polished finish like they did with the "Ultima" and candidly speaking, it's next level polishing. Just like the two Ultima's, they have left the machine marks where it doesn't matter, for example under the topcap.
They slanted the bars on their D89 head by about 1.5° and kept the "Gibbs Type Adjustment System" as can be seen below.
Personally I'm not convinced that the small angle is going to noticably change the shave, however I will be very happy to be proven wrong.
They changed the profile of the topcap. It's now flattened at the top with shallow angular sides and this results in a slightly lower profile.

Possible Improvements
They didn't paint fill the numbers and dial indicator and it only overclocks to 7.

How does it shave?
With only one shave done, this may change.....
I found the shave very similar to the Ultima, so it's a great shaver. I can't say that the slant makes it any better or worse.
This handle is the grippiest of the three Stainless Steel adjustables.
When compared to their competition, they are great value for money.
