How this Menlo compares to Yates H plate?

Thanks a ton for the review George! 
As for the release date I'm working right now to get parts machined and polished.  Hopefully they will be released within 2 weeks.  Go ahead and sign up for the email list to get the notification.  I will also post on here closer to when that happens too.  No pre-orders no BS just direct shipping when the razors are ready.  The "sold out" is just because I don't have any stock available yet.

Thanks for all the community support from everyone who's been patiently waiting.  It feels great to be finally getting this done.

I have tried the Yates and the Menlo is on a completely different level. I did not get along with the Yates and that is not a criticism on it. Just not for me. The design and finish on this one is of a high end razor. Hope that helps.

Awesome. It says it's 303 steel. I thought he was using a differemt steel for the first batch. Maybe I misunderstood. Regardless, cool to see we're getting closer.

Which handle length do you have?

Will there be other handle designs in the future?

The goal is to always pay attention to what the community wants.  It's really impossible to please everyone with a handle design.  Other handles and materials will definitely be coming in the future.

Menlo Shaving Very much looking forward to this release. Congratulations on the progress. 

Can you comment on how blade forward the razor feels, i.e. where might it fall on the Timeless / Blackbird spectrum? (I've never used a Wolfman so Wolfman comparisons will not be that useful to me.)

Thanks!

I heard back from the artisan on this - apparently it's very blade forward. Looks like a very nice design.

Nice and clean the site of Menlo Shaving.
Bravo.

Anyway I'd like to read the specs, and something about design.
