These are widely available at pharmacies and online retailers. GEM blades are known for their thickness and rigidity, which contributes to a smooth, efficient shave with reduced blade flex or chatter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: What is the difference between the 3 bottom plates included with the razor?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The three plates differ in their \u003cstrong\u003eblade gap\u003c\/strong\u003e — the distance between the blade edge and the safety bar. Plate 01 (0.70mm) is the mildest and most forgiving, suited for beginners or sensitive skin. Plate 02 (0.90mm) is a medium setting for everyday use. Plate 03 (1.10mm) is the most aggressive, offering maximum blade exposure for a close cut on heavier beard growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is the YAQI Aileron razor suitable for beginners?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes! Thanks to the \u003cstrong\u003emild 0.70mm plate\u003c\/strong\u003e, beginners can start with the gentlest setting and work their way up as they build technique and confidence. The well-balanced weight (108g) also helps by allowing the razor to glide with gravity rather than requiring applied pressure — a key safety razor technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How do I clean and maintain the YAQI Aileron stainless steel razor?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: After each shave, rinse the razor under warm running water, gently disassemble the head, and allow all parts to air dry. The \u003cstrong\u003e316 stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e construction is highly corrosion-resistant, but avoiding prolonged soaking and storing it dry will ensure it lasts for many years.
