Yeah, it's a similar head to the Bevel and erm... can't remember which other razor it reminds me of right now. Anyone tried it?
OK gentlemen, several of these heads/razors are in your hands so let's hear a comparison of how this DOC shaves against some other benchmark, please. Is it aggressive? middlin', mild?
I used my Yaqi DOC for the first time today and I would agree with you, I will try an Old Type next to see how it compares.My experience of razors is largely confined to using ones on the milder spectrum of things. I'd say the DOC is more aggressive than a Tech but less aggressive than a Old Type, but I guess that observation applies to a lot of razors! The DOC is very smooth though, efficient too.
Pearl shaving an Indian razor maker has eerily similar models of the PAA prismatic and the DOC on their website. I am aware that the Pearl OC head was the one used by many brands including cadet, RR Jaws and even PAA Symmetry OC.
I've purchased a few Pearl razors and their quality is very comparable to other brands.
They look good. Does anyone know if the free shipping applies to International orders?
Interesting but not the same as the Yaqi, the Pearl has slotted bottom plate per photo. Ironically I've been using the Yaqi DOC cap with the Pearl OC bottom plate with fine results.Great find, it's on the website's for sale page

Mild but effective. Reports from others who have the PAA say it's less mild than the PAA.Yes, I think the Pearl is the one sold by PAA in the USA.
So JM, give us your aggression opinion on this YaQi one kind sir.

Sure , that one is another thing entirely and priced accordingly.Remember, there are two PAA DOC razors. The original which is mild:

And the newer far more aggressive Evolution one.
