It's sharp and it cuts. I like it...

It’s intriguing to be honest amigo. Yates Precision is in the mix and that can only mean quality craftsmanship with attention to detail. Not that the other offering was of lesser quality or inferior. Just that Jake has made a name for himself with his own line of safety razors and looks like this piece is no different. I’m very close to pulling the trigger myself....

The handle looks great, is the head a copy of the Yates razor with M plate?

I personally don't need a flag on my razor but noticed a flat top on the cap now like Yates' new cap. What is Yates and what is WSC's in this collaboration?

No this is a collaborative design between the 2

It is definitely a Yates made razor as it appears on their Instagram account and is listed for $89 316 stainless steel. Its called the Merica and looks very much like a Yates razor. Similar handle. Probably shaves like the M plate which is not bad at all.

Yes Yates is making this razor which is similar looking to the 921 but the handle looks even better then the new Yates fatty. For some reason I can't download a picture from TWS website. It also has the same finish.

From Jake: "the only interchangeable parts on the two razors are the handles. The heads are completely different designs. This plate is slightly milder than our M plate. There is a possibility of @thewetshavingclub offering more aggressive plates for this razor in the future"

Ordered one today. Per Jake the handle will fit his razors but the head is a different design. I will post my impressions once I receive it.

How does the Yates version compare to the version made by Robert?
