I just ordered a custom build your own based off your video. I’m waiting for the winning to come back in stock and now I need a Merica. In two months of this madness I already have nine razors. 🤣🤣
@@OhioShaves one son who wears a beard for the most part. I did buy a Henson and everything needed to get my best friend started for Christmas. I just bought three used razors from a guy with one of them being a duplicate of one I already owned (Merkur 34c). I’m gifting that to my buddy as well.
My wife got me the Merica razor in brass for Christmas. This one is the one I have been looking for since I started over 10 years ago. Definitely a keeper and it is pretty much the perfect razor in my opinion.
So glad you finally did a vid on the Merica razor. Such an value, stainless steel and made in Merica! It's been my daily driver and I always get good shaves with it, awesome handle, smooth feel and soooo easy to find the right angle. Welcome to the Merica club🤘🇺🇲
#ohioshavesmerica I've noticed that a few other channels I follow have been full of compliments about this Yates razor. That different men with different faces, beards, soaps, and lives can agree that this razor is great, is a compliment to the manufacturers, and their small business in Pennsylvania.
Just got this in the mail today. Shave was amazing, a great step up from the Henson AL13. Had the same experience as you, very efficient, no irritation or stinging with the alum block. Can't wait to use it again!
Just started wet shaving and really appreciate your videos. They are really well done and you always have good tidbits of information. #ohioshavesmerica
We are living in a new era of “ great double edge razors! “ Companies have really stepped up their game making DE razors that are in many respects much better than the razors of old. They are using new and exotic materials and with modern manufacturing techniques there doesn’t seem to be a limit to how well these things can become. A great time to be a wet shaver. . Keep up the great reviews and Happy New Year from Canada. MikeR. #ohioshavesmerica
@@OhioShaves so far I've only been using the King C. Gillette blade and will try the RKs that it came with once I'm done with the Gillette blades. What do you recommend to a noob wet/head shaver? I've only been wet shaving for 3 - 4 months.
Nice year-end shave. There are so many excellent shaving soaps and creams for traditional wet shaving, Good luck to the winner of your giveaway. Happy New Year!
#ohioshavesmerica I started my DE safety razor jouney about 3 months ago. I bought a Rockwell 6C because of your recommendation and it changed the experience as a whole. Keep up the good work. Happy new year from Austria!
1:09 “YESSS!!” I love that sound-drop. 😂 Thanks for another great video. Sorry the Buckeyes lost their game… Happy New Year, stay safe, and as always… GO BLUE! 🔵🟡〽️ #ohioshavesmerica
💈👍. Detroit got cheated so bad yesterday playing Dallas. I was rooting hard for you guys. Going to be a good game Monday definitely got big tens back. I can't stand Alabama.
I have the machined and the bead blast one as the wet shaving company was trying to get rid of some inventory a couple of months ago before Yates bought them. I ordered the new winning titanium razor as it is supposed to be as efficient with little to no blade feel. The one thing you forgot to mention is that there is a magnet in the bottom of the razor. It is handy when you want to take the blade out and your hands are slick from shaving.
It's a great razor. No one has introduced this razor company like I have. I give it to people straight. And quit skipping around my videos I did mention the magnet on the bottom.🤣
@@OhioShaves you need another one brother. I started with the 921 with EH plate but wanted an all brass so I bought the Merica. It’s a perfect daily driver. I’m spoiled by my Yates Razors.
If you’re a beginner, the Henson is still the best razor for a beginner. If you’re looking for the best stainless steel safety razor, then this is the one you should be looking at.
I haven't shaved with the winning razor, but the America razor was a very special shave. Very smooth and efficient. I was completely amazed and was not expecting that good of a shave.
@@OhioShaves I haven't used a Yates but it almost seems like they can raise their prices. Considering the price of Rex and Blackland at least which I think is fair considering the work involved. I don't need another razor but I do want to add a Yates to my lineup. I kinda got used to my Rex Envoy so maybe I will go for the Murica over the winning.
Just want to thank you for your videos. I’ve been researching safety razors. Watching your videos made me pull the trigger. Waiting on a Rockwell 6S to come in. Thanks again 👊🏻 #ohioshavesmerica
I finally got my hands on the brass version of this razor, but alas my high hopes were dashed. I've been DE shaving for about 10 years and I get a great shave from the Rockwell 6S and the Karve Overlander. Unfortunately the 'Merica left me with razor bumps (which I never get) on the first shave and bleeding on the second. It was irritating enough that I'm not looking forward to a third try. (Personna blades in all of the above.) I guess there's truth to the saying, "your mileage may vary!"
It’s a sleeper. This razor is so good. I can’t believe more. People aren’t doing reviews about this razor. Says something about who people are because this razor is one of the best in the world.
#ohioshavesmerica. I’ve been using bloom water as a pre pre shave for some time now. I massage my face with it and then apply a little PAA Tube 2.0. I don’t remember when I last had any irritation. As a bonus, I get a nice preview of the soap’s scent 👍 Wishing you a blessed New Year, Al
Works out great for me as well because I like to face lather. Thanks for all your support Al have a happy new year and I will see you in 2024 my friend.
I've been looking at this razor or the Yates Winning as an alternative to the Henson and Rockwell 6C I've been using. I like the weight and the shave of the 6C, but love the design and angle of the Henson. I know you hold the 6C in high regard. Does the Merica compete with it? Would you still pick the 6C over this?
"merica is a six plate on a Rockwell six whatever. I've been told the winning razor is very aggressive when it comes to Blade field. But I have not reviewed it yet. I am waiting for them to send me a couple more razors.
#ohioshavesmerica Great end of year video. Razor and cream both look super. Video quality with transitions and effects looking more and more professional. Thanks for a great year of informative videos. You got me started into wet shaving and it has become a big part of my”me” time. Looking forward to 2024 and more content. Have a super new year and as always, keep em coming!🎉
I finally pulled the trigger on a stainless steel razor and this was it. Been using the Merica for about a month now and loving it. Right out of the gate you notice how balanced this razor is. The notch on the handle makes for a perfect hold. Yates did a good job with this design. How would you compare this to the Rockwell 6S?
#ohioshavesmerica I started wet shaving this December and so far I like it. After watch so many of your videos, I didn’t think it would be as tricky as it has been. I got the Rockwell 6C and the razor is great but I am still trying to find my favorite blade. Thanks for getting me interested in trying this.
I picked up A&E's "Which One's Pink?" from TRC simply because of the Floyd reference, and that stuff is excellent. Earthy scent with a little spice in there. Great lather with a nice sheen to it, and leaves a bit of a slick residue after the first pass. Think I'll be sticking with A&E for a while. Plus it's the initials of me and my wife's first names so I got that going for me, which is nice. Gunga galunga. Great video as always! Hope you had a great holiday, and Happy New Year to ya!
This is a neat razor, going to add it to what seems to be my never ending list of razors I want. 😂 I just got the leaf razor for head shaves and it’s awesome. Thank you so much for that recommendation. #ohioshavesmerica
Just used my Merica for it's first shave. Great mild razor! I plan on using this when I'm shaving with light growth, a day or two. Otherwise I will use my Rex Konsul which is still smooth but much more aggressive.
@@OhioShaves It's a very recent release. Gap of 0.65mm Exposure of 0.15mm With these specs, it should be like a baby brother of the blackbird razor. I.e. Easy on the skin but with high efficiency.

This is such a great razor. It really says a lot about Jake that there's no drop in quality from his most to least expensive razor. I think the 'Merica is one of the best razors on the market at any price. It's a fantastic head shaver too. The handle feels great upside down and sideways.
#ohioshavesmerica I'm really liking what I'm seeing out of Yates! I'm waiting on the Winning currently, but the Merica is looking like a fantastic next razor with more efficiency but still being incredibly smooth. Fantastic video as always. Hope you and your family have a great new year!
Hey Dave! Do you know if this Merica razor you had was as-machined or bead-blasted for the finish? Thanks and keep up the fantastic work (you’re the best on YT in your field).
That soap is another company that is way underrated. It's the best soap I've actually used and I've used all of them. Thanks so much for your support this year and have a happy new year.
I wished i had bought this razor sooner lol. I've heard good things, reviews. Got it with the bead blast finish, waiting for it to ship. I thought the magnet on the handle was cool too. On a side note I had bought a blackland era razor early last year and the top cap thread snapped. Yates has been on my radar for a while. 2023 I mostly used my Twig, Rockwell Model T and Razorocks and occasionally a vintage.
@@OhioShaves I didn't bother trying to replace it since I bought the razor on a discount, they were having a sale since they we're discontinuing the razor. I don't think they have anymore. I was going to buy a whole used one with a more aggressive plate I that saw roaming on some website. I tried using a razorock .72 lupo top cap with some success lol.
@@OhioShaves Question how long did it take for you to get your order from Yates? I haven't updates that my order was shipped, I know they're a small company out of PA.
@@OhioShaves Oh wow, I should of bought the 921 Precision too for that long of a wait lol. Not that I need it right away, I got plenty of other razors.
I'm going to do a comparison soon but as for right now, not sure what plate it's going to fall on. If I had to guess it be the five or six plate but the 6S is a adjustable safety razors, which has a huge advantage for a lot of people.
#ohioshavesmerica Love the review and new edits. Jake really knows what he's doing over there. I'm waiting on a Gillette Tech to come in the mail. That soap does amazing; I'll def be buying it once I clear through a bit of the soaps I have. I'd love to know how it does on a headshave. Happy 2024 and look forward to more.
Thanks. That wouldn’t be surprised if they doubled their business in 2024. Enough people don’t do reviews of this razor or don’t give the credit that is actually due. Look forward to 2024. Have a happy new year.
Razor Emporium has a good pre-shave soap that really helps a later bloom on your face (and takes the guess work out of using a pre-shave oil or gel.) I've used A&E's "Tobacco Road" shave soap, shower soap, aftershave and cologne. It has a wonderful pipe tobacco scent that is the best I've found in trying many brands. Have you ever tried the Wilkinson Sword blade? It's my favorite and I've tried it in a Feather plastic adjustable and a Rex Konsul. And I've tried a lot of blades.
I've tried the Wilkinson sword blades from Germany, but not the ones made in India. I know ken surf really likes the India made blades and from what I hear. It's a great price point as well.
#ohioshavesmerica Thanks for the great informative videos, sir! Thanks for a chance to win, and also, thanks for motivating me to push through my first several wet shaves. Im 6 months in, and couldnt have done it without your video tutorials for sensitive skin. You kick ass, ohio.. keep it up man!
#ohioshavesmerica I'm starting to develop a trend with your Yates videos (not that it is a bad thing): it sure does look like one could get away with a quick out the door one pass shave with their razor and the right blade combo (in your case the Personna comforts). That to me is the sign of a great razor. The fact it passed your alum block test is a double plus.
Another great shave and video, David! I've been eyeing the Yates razors for a while now, but so far have resisted. Maybe I'll get lucky. 😃 #ohioshavesmerica
@@OhioShaves actually as a matter of fact I don't use 6s as an adjustable.. a) I only use plates 5 & 6, b) when using a plate I don't swap to another.. so i wasn't thinking in terms of adjustability ❤
I just ordered a custom build your own based off your video. I’m waiting for the winning to come back in stock and now I need a Merica. In two months of this madness I already have nine razors. 🤣🤣

I'm really liking what I'm seeing out of Yates! I'm waiting on the Winning currently, but the Merica is looking like a fantastic next razor with more efficiency but still being incredibly smooth.
Fantastic video as always. Hope you and your family have a great new year!
You're in! Happy new year. Thanks for all your support.
Hey Dave!
Do you know if this Merica razor you had was as-machined or bead-blasted for the finish?
Thanks and keep up the fantastic work (you’re the best on YT in your field).
Had a nice finish doing so I'm gonna go with the blasted. Not 100% sure on that.
Jake confirmed it’s Bead-Blast. Thanks.
#ohioshavesmerica the lather you have been getting with these a&e soaps looks incredible
That soap is another company that is way underrated. It's the best soap I've actually used and I've used all of them. Thanks so much for your support this year and have a happy new year.

Thanks David for the great razor review and another great shave! Happy New Year!
Happy new year! Thanks for your support in 2023
I wished i had bought this razor sooner lol. I've heard good things, reviews. Got it with the bead blast finish, waiting for it to ship. I thought the magnet on the handle was cool too. On a side note I had bought a blackland era razor early last year and the top cap thread snapped. Yates has been on my radar for a while. 2023 I mostly used my Twig, Rockwell Model T and Razorocks and occasionally a vintage.
Good choice! Did Blackland replace the top cap?
@@OhioShaves I didn't bother trying to replace it since I bought the razor on a discount, they were having a sale since they we're discontinuing the razor. I don't think they have anymore. I was going to buy a whole used one with a more aggressive plate I that saw roaming on some website. I tried using a razorock .72 lupo top cap with some success lol.
@@OhioShaves Question how long did it take for you to get your order from Yates? I haven't updates that my order was shipped, I know they're a small company out of PA.
6 weeks@@Gotobecrazy
@@OhioShaves Oh wow, I should of bought the 921 Precision too for that long of a wait lol. Not that I need it right away, I got plenty of other razors.
my favorite is poison hemlock; barbiere sofisticto and indo ink are also great
Thanks for sharing
It was made by Yates but I got it from the wet shaving club!!!! With the matching stand . I also love the laser etched American flag!!!!!
Nice touch
Yup definitely watched this video last night and ordered one of these today. Ya got me! 🤣🤣#ohioshavesmerica
It will not disappoint. Thanks for all your support. It is greatly appreciated.
Great info once again. Like always down to the point and no bs. This razor is definitely in my must have list. #ohioshavesmerica
Thanks. Looking for to the year here on UA-cam.

Great video! Where do you put the merica when compared to the rockwell 6s?
I'm going to do a comparison soon but as for right now, not sure what plate it's going to fall on. If I had to guess it be the five or six plate but the 6S is a adjustable safety razors, which has a huge advantage for a lot of people.
#ohioshavesmerica
Great video. Appears to be a great razor. I will have to check into it. Happy New Year!
Happy new year my friend. Thanks for all your support and 2023.
#ohioshavesmerica Love the review and new edits. Jake really knows what he's doing over there. I'm waiting on a Gillette Tech to come in the mail. That soap does amazing; I'll def be buying it once I clear through a bit of the soaps I have. I'd love to know how it does on a headshave. Happy 2024 and look forward to more.
Thanks. That wouldn’t be surprised if they doubled their business in 2024. Enough people don’t do reviews of this razor or don’t give the credit that is actually due. Look forward to 2024. Have a happy new year.
Heavenly shave!😁😍

Do they have it available
Yes, it just takes them 4 to 6 weeks to deliver it. Mom and Pop small business.
@@OhioShaves you have the site to get it
Razor Emporium has a good pre-shave soap that really helps a later bloom on your face (and takes the guess work out of using a pre-shave oil or gel.)
I've used A&E's "Tobacco Road" shave soap, shower soap, aftershave and cologne. It has a wonderful pipe tobacco scent that is the best I've found in trying many brands.
Have you ever tried the Wilkinson Sword blade? It's my favorite and I've tried it in a Feather plastic adjustable and a Rex Konsul. And I've tried a lot of blades.
I've tried the Wilkinson sword blades from Germany, but not the ones made in India. I know ken surf really likes the India made blades and from what I hear. It's a great price point as well.
I’d love to see this match up with henson
Stainless steel versus aluminum

Great looking razor! 😎

Thanks for the great informative videos, sir! Thanks for a chance to win, and also, thanks for motivating me to push through my first several wet shaves. Im 6 months in, and couldnt have done it without your video tutorials for sensitive skin. You kick ass, ohio.. keep it up man!
Thanks brother. I appreciate your support
What is the diference with 912 ?
You can customize the base plate from mild to aggressive
#ohioshavesmerica this is on my list for sure...thanks for your vids...
Good choice! This razor blew my mind away. The way it shaves is just perfect. Thanks for all your support and 2023. Have a happy new year my friend.
You as well.
#ohioshavesmerica
I'm starting to develop a trend with your Yates videos (not that it is a bad thing): it sure does look like one could get away with a quick out the door one pass shave with their razor and the right blade combo (in your case the Personna comforts). That to me is the sign of a great razor. The fact it passed your alum block test is a double plus.
Totally amazing company. I wouldn’t be surprised if they double their business in 2024. Thanks for all your support.
Dave….was that bead blast or stonewashed?
bead blast
Another great shave and video, David! I've been eyeing the Yates razors for a while now, but so far have resisted. Maybe I'll get lucky. 😃 #ohioshavesmerica
Good luck my friend
#ohioshavesmerica
Great shave! Happy new year 🎆
💈👍 Happy New Year 🎊 Thanks for all your support in 2023
Vanille vendetta and peach and cognac are their best. Along with Spartacus, Asian plum, and aqua de Boracay
I'll look into this. Thank you.
Had my eye on Yates for quite some time now.. how would you describe it as compared to Rockwell 6s?
#ohioshavesmerica
A lot different it's not adjustable razor for one but the overall shave of this razor is off the charts
@@OhioShaves actually as a matter of fact I don't use 6s as an adjustable.. a) I only use plates 5 & 6, b) when using a plate I don't swap to another.. so i wasn't thinking in terms of adjustability ❤
You should do a head shave with this razor.
I've got a brand new razor coming in from Yates. This razor was so good. I gave it away to one of the viewers in a giveaway.
