I agree a great razor!
But I would like YatesPrecision to make a smaller head with blades tabs exposed.  Undecided

Exposed tabs would be nice, but I can settle with the head being flush with the blade.

Finished my time with the razor, it's been cleaned and sanitized, and is on it's way to DinoJD

I'll put together impressions of the Hybrid plate and some final thoughts a little later.

Thanks again to andrewjs18 for organizing. And big thanks to YatesPrecision for providing the opportunity, this is a really special razor.

andrewjs18 please remove me from the list. I am already watching a bunch of razors to be released soon and don't want to be tempted any more than necessary.  Confused2

My final shave with the Yates from a few days ago:

Plate: Hybrid plate
Blade: Permasharp (3)
Brush: Elite hybrid w/ Viking Odin’s Beard knot
Soap: Ethos Succes
Post: GentlemanJon Alum block
Post: Ethos Replenish
Post: Ethos Succes Skin Food Splash

I’ve tried a few open combs before, and didn’t like the feel of any of them. I can no longer say that after I did my first pass with the OC side of the Yates brass hybrid plate. Surprisingly smooth for an OC, with just a bit of blade feel. I’m not sure I’d like to use this one all the time, but it is definitely smoother than any OC that I have tried. I think with some continued use and practice with this plate, I could make things even smoother with the OC side. For the last 2 passes, I switched to the SB side, and finished up a very nice smooth shave. Similar results to the M plate.

Final thoughts:
The Yates is on the top of my list of possible purchases this year. I’m trying to keep my den small, so I will most likely be letting go of a couple of things that aren't seeing much use, and the Yates will be on the short list for purchase after that. I have a few other razors I intend to try out, but this one will be very hard to beat.

Thanks once again to andrewjs18  and YatesPrecision  for the opportunity to use this razor.

I'm just finishing up my turn and then I'll get it out to drdeemanda. I'll post my write up once I'm done but I just want to say that the M plate is really really excellent. Great shaves.

Actually Whisker_whacker is next. drdeemanda asked me to skip him because he bought one.
