Yaqi Ultima

The success of the original "The Final Cut" got people asking for a brass and a stainless steel version. They initially produced the Brass Version and a year later in May 2023 they gave us the Polished Stainless Steel version. Like the brass version, this also has the scallops removed from the safety bar.
I'm extremely happy to see that they went with a polished finish (vs a satin finish) as I believe this to helps with slickness/glide over your face. There are machine marks on the underside of the topcap and middle plate, and an arguement could be made that these assist with the clamping of the blade.
Like the previous two versions, its a D89 head with adjustability based on the "Gibbs" system patented back in 1937.

Possible Improvements
They didn't paint fill the numbers and dial indicator and it doesn't overclock.

How does it shave?
Its an awesome shaver and excellent value for money.
The drag is pretty much gone and its slightly more effecient than the brass version and about a ½ setting below the zamak version. That said the original TFC does overclock so I've added an overclock dial, which has given it the same effeciency as the Zamak TFC.
My other concern was the smooth handle, however while shaving I didn't think about it and towards the end of the shave thought that there was no reason to be conecrned.
It's less that half the price of its nearest stainless steel competitor, so is awesome value for money - get it while you can, this one will last a lifetime.
