People are always posting images of their expensive artisan razors. Just to be a bit contrary, I thought I’d do the opposite. I want to post about one of the cheapest, mass-produced razors around. I attended a shave collectibles meeting last month in Cincinnati, and while there was introduced to the Yuma Razor - one of the cheapest shaving tools in existence. Made entirely from cheap, stamped pot metal, it delivers an incredible shave! Have any of you had any experience with this razor? I really love mine. I have my expensive artisan razors, but lately find myself reaching for this Yuma.

Yuma is a nice, aggressive and pretty efficient Turkish razor.
In Turkey, you can get Yuma less than a dollar. I remember it costs around 50 cent.
This price includes many taxes, manufacturer's and sellers' profits.
USA prices are higher, since shipping costs much more than the razor price.

Pictures with a blade would be nice. The rough, unpolished appearance makes it look like a museum piece! I like it more than old school Gillette razors. Lots of character. Very nice.
Since it is just pot metal, what steps do you take to prevent rust?
