Why Choose a Safety Razor?
Traditional double-edge safety razors are experiencing a massive resurgence — and for good reason. They significantly reduce plastic waste compared to disposable cartridge razors, are more cost-effective in the long run, and when paired with proper technique, deliver a far superior shave with less irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Yaqi Torqx adjustable safety razor come with blades?
A: No, the Yaqi Torqx slant adjustable safety razor is sold as a razor handle only — blades are not included. It is compatible with all standard double-edge (DE) safety razor blades, which are widely available from many brands.
Q: What blade gap setting should I start with on the Torqx adjustable safety razor?
A: If you're new to double-edge safety razors or the Torqx, we recommend starting at a lower setting (1–3, corresponding to 0.60–0.90 mm blade gap) for a milder, more forgiving shave. As you become more comfortable with your technique, you can gradually increase the setting for a closer, more aggressive shave.
Q: Is 316 stainless steel better than regular stainless steel for a safety razor?
A: Yes — 316 stainless steel is a marine-grade alloy with significantly higher resistance to corrosion, moisture, and oxidation compared to standard 304-grade stainless steel. This makes it ideal for bathroom environments where the razor is frequently exposed to water, making the Yaqi Torqx an excellent long-term investment.
Q: What makes a slant safety razor different from a standard safety razor?
A: A slant safety razor holds the blade at an angle relative to the cutting edge, creating a more efficient, scythe-like slicing action through hair rather than pushing straight through. This reduces drag and skin irritation, especially for those with coarse or thick beard hair, while requiring fewer passes to achieve a close shave.
Q: How do I adjust the blade gap on the Yaqi Torqx?
A: The Torqx features a convenient dial or adjustment mechanism that lets you move between its 9 gap settings (0.60 mm to 1.80 mm) quickly and precisely. Simply rotate the adjustment mechanism to your desired numbered setting before loading your double-edge blade.
