Razor is being shipped to Captainjonny today. Finished my last shave and used all three plates across different passes and different sections of the face.

Am super impressed with this razor
The M plate is my favorite, followed by the H and the brass hybrid come in third. All plates give super results...some of the best shaves I have had...will be picking this one up in the not so distant future.

The slim handle ...has grown on me....the weight and balance just seems to work with this razor... The stonewashed finish is very cool.

What impressed me most was how easy it is to find the angle and get comfortable with this razor...Could use it with ease just after a few strokes...as if I knew this razor and had been using it forever.

Face feel post shave is one of the best.

Finally, shaving ATG was so easy, I think it beat the carbon SS that I recently tried on this.

Did I mention how well it rinses...
Very well designed and executed...Congratulations Yates...you have a winner

The Yates Pass-Around razor arrived today. I was very surprised the USPS was able to meet the two to three day schedule on time, from the East coast to the West Coast. I plan to use the M plate first, tomorrow. Based on the glowing reviews, I look forward to the shaves.

I have not received the 4th plate from Yates. When it arrives I will post it here.

There is something about the Yates long handle. Its funny to see minds getting changed on that. Same thing happened with me, I too prefer short handles. Once I got used to the razor however, after a few shaves I could not see myself not using the long handle. Its right on the money. Glad to see so many purchases out of this thread.

My skinny long handle and fat stubby handle both still sit unused.........I didn't care for the look or feel of either and have plenty of shaves in on this razor. Just posting for another view of the handles.
