Yates Precision Manufacturing is closing, likely getting acquired

Whether it continues to be the best bang for the buck may depend on who takes it over....

Now this is quite accurate.  Something in the business model made it challenging for YPM and obviously they didn’t overprice their products.  Maybe they undervalued their service to wet shavers?

Personally I think it is really difficult to have a BYOR and not charge double to triple what they did.

What about Razorock?

Not sure I see what you mean on the Yates thread.  Never saw Italian Barber or RR let you choose your finish, handle length, metals, laser engraving, etc.  

You can choose a base plate and handle from RR.

I see what you're saying. That level of customization/complication likely appeals mostly to the most ardent of wet shavers that are already a small portion of a specialty market.
