Yaqi Ultima Open Comb
These were announced on 22nd January 2024 along with the "Yaqi Slope". I was surprised that it took them that long to do so.
Just like the "Ultima" they kept the polished finish and frankly - it is really next level polishing and just like the Ultima, there are machine marks where it doesn't matter
They stayed with the D89 head with adjustability based on the "Gibbs" system. The one change that they did was change the profile of the topcap. It's flattened at the top with shallow angular sides and this results in a slightly lower profile. (This can be seen in the second image below)
Possible Improvements
They didn't paint fill the numbers and dial indicator and it only overclocks to 7.
How does it shave?
One shave under its belt so this may change.....
Like the Ultima SB version, its a great shaver. It has a bit of blade feel (which I've come to expect from the new OC razors) and is slightly more efficient, again also to be expected.
Been about half the price of its nearest stainless steel competitor, it's awesome value for money.
