Yates Precision Manufacturing Razor

For those of you fellows who have both Yates and Karve razors. Does a Karve top cap fit a Yates base plate? Would they hold a blade properly? Much obliged.

I would guess no, but I can't speak from experience.

Hi Jake! Waiting for the original brass caps. Meanwhile, those from Karve look like they might fit...

I haven't tried, and can't at the moment, but I do have this photos, which make me think it would not work.

My Yates top cap would clamp the blade to a Karve baseplate.

The Karve top cap does not clamp to the Yates baseplate. A gap is left between the two.

After a full week of trying out another razor I pulled out my Yates with the brass Hybrid plate. What a smooth, comfortable 2 pass shave. Love this razor.

Thank you!

I'll wait for the release of the original Yates brass top cap then

Their estimated availability list is a joke and not accurate nor updated. Been saying 1-3 days for as long as I can remember.....

Jake has never made a brass top cap

I was waiting for EH plate, it always says 1-3 days since last month. 
I didn't understand whether he sold in his website. Since I saw some EH in BST here.

EH on BST may have been testers but I don't know. I'll just stick with the H myself as I've moved on.
