Yates Precision Manufacturing DFS pass around

Did they tease the Ti on Instagram today?

Nope, nothing to see here. 

Jake said it looked like stainless but was lighter... either aluminum or Ti ... my money's on Ti  

I can confirm that Jake is starting to work on a Titanium razor

Great. Hope he does a EH plate. The aggressive was not enough for me and the SS had drag. But Great value

rawfox1 how often do you shave (how many days growth, usually)? 

On the drag question, it will be interesting to see if the the bead-blast finish will have less drag. Presumably the polished does not have any drag.

Blade 1: Astra SP (1)
Blade 2: Astra SP (1)
Brush: Teton Shave Zen Series "Bob Ross"
Soap: Lakewood SOCP (1508.5 Project)
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Terre D'Hermes Splash
Fragrance: Terre D'Hermes EdT

So this morning was a 1st comparison of my 2 H plates of the Yates Precision 921 razor. A great drama free shave was had although a rushed one. I think the High Polish has made the Yates a tad more aggressive but it isn't really noticed until the atg pass where extra care and attention to stretching skin around the chin and mouth are needed more. This was with the Astra blade which I find competent but not as sharp as my preferred Wizamet. I need to redo this test at some point soon with the Wizamets and will. The 1508.5 project for the year resumed with the SOCP and I can seen a much lighter area in the center when held up to the light. Doughnut hole is approaching. Topped off with the Humphrey's and Terre D'Hermes combo. Have a great day Folks !!

Question about handles that can be used with the Yates head. I've seen SoTD pics with the Blackbird handle as well and have heard of other folks using different handles including CG goods handles. Does that cause any problems with cross-threading? I've only ever used a complete razor from a manufacturer, so just wanted to check before mixing handles. Thanks

Charcoal goods designed for WCS and regular charcoal goods are no issue.

No issues with cross-threading when using my Blackbird and Stork handles.
They seem to work, just fine.

Update: the Yates pass-around razor arrived today from ALI . I will take it for a first spin tomorrow morning. More to come...
