Why Choose a Safety Razor?
Safety razors have been the gold standard for a close, irritation-free shave for over a century. Unlike multi-blade cartridge razors that tug and pull, a single double-edge blade slices cleanly through hair with less friction — reducing razor burn, ingrown hairs, and skin irritation. The American Academy of Dermatology also recommends shaving in the direction of hair growth to minimise skin irritation, something a well-adjusted safety razor makes effortless. Learn more about healthy shaving practices at the American Academy of Dermatology, and refer to the FDA's guidance on razors and blades for product safety information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Yaqi Ultima Open Comb Safety Razor come with blades?
A: No, the razor is sold without blades. It is compatible with any standard double-edge (DE) safety razor blade available on the market, giving you full freedom to choose your preferred brand and blade sharpness.
Q: What does "adjustable blade gap" mean on this safety razor?
A: The adjustable blade gap refers to the distance between the blade edge and the safety bar of the razor head. A wider gap exposes more of the blade for a more aggressive, closer shave, while a narrower gap is gentler and more forgiving — ideal for sensitive skin or beginners. The Yaqi Ultima lets you dial in your preferred setting for a customised shaving experience.
Q: Is the 316 stainless steel construction important for a safety razor?
A: Absolutely. 316 stainless steel is a marine-grade alloy known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion, rust, and pitting — even in a humid bathroom environment. It also gives the razor a premium, substantial feel and is significantly more durable than razors made from zinc alloy or chrome-plated metals, making it a true lifetime investment.
Q: Is the open comb head suitable for beginners?
A: Open comb razors are generally recommended for users who are already comfortable with double-edge safety razors. They excel with thicker, coarser beards. If you're brand new to safety razors, starting on the mildest blade gap setting will help you get used to the technique safely before dialling up the aggressiveness.
Q: How do I clean and maintain the Yaqi Ultima Safety Razor?
A: Simply rinse the razor thoroughly under warm running water after each use. Periodically disassemble the razor head and rinse each component to prevent soap scum build-up. The 316 stainless steel construction means no special products are needed — just water and an occasional gentle scrub. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish over time.
