Just seen on Aliexpress that YaQi have released a slant razor head. seems to be a reasonable price and might pull the trigger on one.

Sorry in advance for enabling any RAD that people may have :LOL:

I wonder if their note regarding its aggressiveness is a general warning or whether this thing truly is an animal? I'll let you find out first Karl! [emoji16]

Yaqi sent out a few of their slant heads to be beta tested and some of the users posted up on their Facebook group the Yaqi slant was too mild.

So when I saw Yaqi themselves are stating the slant is very aggressive, I'm a little confused to which side to believe. Of course a slant is more likely to be on the aggressive side of things, but how aggressive is something else. If it's more aggressive than their closed comb DE89 looking head (which doesn't shave anything like a DE89!) then it's too aggressive for my needs.

Also, the nickel version sold out really quickly, the one in stock (for now) is the gunmetal coloured one.

Otherwise it looks a superb deal for a slant head.
 
I suppose they've either increased its aggressiveness based on the feedback or undertaking an ar*e covering exercise. I'm still in favour of letting Karl find out first!

Personally, I'd prefer the milder version you've described.

Did anyone buy one of these when they were available?

no, they were sold out before I did. I had a look on another forum and it looks a little unusual with quite a lot of blade exposure. I think I might pass on this and stick to my Merkur slant instead
 
Has anyone given one of these a go yet? They still don't seem to be back in stock on AE. I recall seeing a SOTD on ATG where a user alluded to it being very aggressive.
