How do you like them? I have the Merica and love it. I am thinking about getting the Winning soon.

@@MDR-hn2yz Honestly, I love them both (I also bought the 921-M. I would say from "mild to aggressive" - none are really aggressive but they are efficient: the Winning is mildest, then the Merica, then the 921-M. The Winning I have zero weepers or nicks from and you can shave quickly...it reminds me of a high end Henson if that helps any. Can't go wrong with any of them though! Good luck :)

@@jay.001 perfect. Thx for the reply!

Absolutely

😂😂

😂 I have actually run a large manual VTL before. It’s terrifying lol

No tumbling, but we do some hand work with files and some buffing wheels to ensure no sharp edges or burrs are left 👍

Thank you!

@@YatesPrecisionManufacturingplease restock 😭😭

Sure is, Clarence

​@@YatesPrecisionManufacturing i got your vector Victor.

We’re definitely fortunate when it comes to sled riding location. The cold tub is rough at first, but I definitely feel a difference in mood, soreness, etc since starting it.

haha thanks buddy. The cold tub is a love/hate relationship.

Thank you!

I really appreciate the kind words and the support!

Thank you!

Soccer gives my brain a break and lets me shut off for a bit. It’s my meditation lol

@@YatesPrecisionManufacturing I whitewater kayak and have an awesome BMW Adventure series motorcycle. Both get me away from the craziness of business. I hear you Jake, life isn’t always about money and work. We get one shot at this thing called life, enjoy your family and enjoy yourself. ☮️

@@robertlarkham2428 that’s awesome! Which BMW do you have? That’s my dream bike.

Yep, the stubbies are much thicker than the standard 3.25” handles.

@@YatesPrecisionManufacturing Cool, thanks for clarifying.

Thanks for watching!

When you say “engraved” which engraving are you choosing? We have 6-8 different options

@@YatesPrecisionManufacturing the issue isn’t the engraving it’s the absurd price jump of the *customisation* option here’s the example a standard stainless merica razor is- $164 AUD top cap custom laser engraving costs- $25 however, the *customisation* option that allows you to engrave it costs much more. so the total price of the $164 razor + the $25 engraving at checkout totals $296 will all other standard options ($320 stonewashed)

@@makuIa This is kind of where they lost me as a customer. You used to be able to buy individual components and the baseplates were engraved with their particular level (M, H and EH) and they were like $35 or so for a machined SS baseplate. Now you have to pay a $10 upcharge just for them to engrave the type of baseplate it is Ironically, if you choose to NOT have the Yates engraving on the top cap you have to pay extra. Now the cheapest baseplate you can buy is $55 but that won't have the name engraved on the baseplate, so unless you did what I did like ordering a EH hybrid plate in machined SS and a H in brass in open comb, there's no way of telling what each plate actually is. Worse off if/when you decide to sell or buy one as people could mistakenly or intentionally sell incorrect plates and no way to properly identify them. Just seems like a problem created just to get an additional $10 out of customers. I have to make the mental note when I use these plates and with an ever increasing amount of razors and plates I own, I'm guessing someday I'll also forget what these plates are and not be able to identify them. Strange as I don't know of any other company that charges extra for plate engraving the level of the plate. If all of my brass, copper or stainless steel Karve plates (in both closed comb and open comb) were unlabeled it would be a complete disaster.

Thanks for the kind words and the support! Let me know how you like the Merica once it arrives.

That’s definitely my favorite combo
