I just ordered a custom build your own based off your video. I’m waiting for the winning to come back in stock and now I need a Merica. In two months of this madness I already have nine razors. 🤣🤣
🤣🤣 I can understand that. At least you have razors that are gonna last a lot of time. Hope, you have a lot of kids.
@@OhioShaves one son who wears a beard for the most part. I did buy a Henson and everything needed to get my best friend started for Christmas. I just bought three used razors from a guy with one of them being a duplicate of one I already owned (Merkur 34c). I’m gifting that to my buddy as well.
You're too good of a friend. Have a happy new year.
@@OhioShaves you as well!!
Lol I'm at 15. Looking at Henson Ti 22
If you have sensitive or reactive skin, Ariana & Evans is an absolute must have!...Get Some!!!
Call my friend. I'm 100% with you.

I've noticed that a few other channels I follow have been full of compliments about this Yates razor. That different men with different faces, beards, soaps, and lives can agree that this razor is great, is a compliment to the manufacturers, and their small business in Pennsylvania.
It's that good
So glad you finally did a vid on the Merica razor. Such an value, stainless steel and made in Merica! It's been my daily driver and I always get good shaves with it, awesome handle, smooth feel and soooo easy to find the right angle. Welcome to the Merica club🤘🇺🇲
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been using this razor for the last 2 years and i absolutely love it. It is hands down my favourite razor, it never gave me a bad shave!
Good news. Thanks for sharing
My wife got me the Merica razor in brass for Christmas. This one is the one I have been looking for since I started over 10 years ago. Definitely a keeper and it is pretty much the perfect razor in my opinion.
Thanks for sharing my friend. Have a happy new year and I will see you in 2024.
@@OhioShaves happy new year 🎊
Just got this in the mail today. Shave was amazing, a great step up from the Henson AL13. Had the same experience as you, very efficient, no irritation or stinging with the alum block. Can't wait to use it again!
Right on! Thanks for your continued support
I like it that you can hold it on the sides and there no blade sticking out.
💈👍
We are living in a new era of “ great double edge razors! “ Companies have really stepped up their game making DE razors that are in many respects much better than the razors of old. They are using new and exotic materials and with modern manufacturing techniques there doesn’t seem to be a limit to how well these things can become. A great time to be a wet shaver. . Keep up the great reviews and Happy New Year from Canada. MikeR. #ohioshavesmerica
I totally agree. Happy New Year my friend
Just started wet shaving and really appreciate your videos. They are really well done and you always have good tidbits of information.
#ohioshavesmerica
Thanks brother I try to keep it real and give a little something in each video. Thanks for all your support and I’ll see you next year my friend.
Very nice shave !!!! I have had my Merica razor for over a year and it’s been one of my favorites since day one!!!!
Great razor. I feel like it makes me better than I really am when it comes to shaving
Fantastic video David, thank you so much! 👊
Glad you liked it!
A bunch of people are asking me to review the winning razor. Is there any way for me to get my hands on one?
@@OhioShaves definitely. I’ll send you one out of the next batch 👍
I was thinking of adding the Winning razor but seeing how much you like the Murica, may reconsider.
I haven't shaved with the winning razor, but the America razor was a very special shave. Very smooth and efficient. I was completely amazed and was not expecting that good of a shave.
@@OhioShaves I haven't used a Yates but it almost seems like they can raise their prices. Considering the price of Rex and Blackland at least which I think is fair considering the work involved. I don't need another razor but I do want to add a Yates to my lineup. I kinda got used to my Rex Envoy so maybe I will go for the Murica over the winning.
Your videos got me started wet shaving my head with a Henson mild razor; really enjoy your content and knowledge. #ohioshavesmerica
Thanks for all your support my friend. Great razor for head shaves. What’s your favorite blade?
@@OhioShaves so far I've only been using the King C. Gillette blade and will try the RKs that it came with once I'm done with the Gillette blades. What do you recommend to a noob wet/head shaver? I've only been wet shaving for 3 - 4 months.

I started my DE safety razor jouney about 3 months ago. I bought a Rockwell 6C because of your recommendation and it changed the experience as a whole. Keep up the good work.
Happy new year from Austria!
Happy New Year. Thanks for your support
I have one but I use Jack Black Supreme cream and Jack Black Beard Lube, perfect for this razor
Not a big fan of Jack. But if it works for you, that's great. Everyone is different.
Nice year-end shave. There are so many excellent shaving soaps and creams for traditional wet shaving, Good luck to the winner of your giveaway. Happy New Year!
Thanks, you too!
Hi. Best shave in 2023. Sounds good. Happy new year
Happy new year. Thanks for all your support and 2023. I’ll see you next year.
I have the machined and the bead blast one as the wet shaving company was trying to get rid of some inventory a couple of months ago before Yates bought them. I ordered the new winning titanium razor as it is supposed to be as efficient with little to no blade feel. The one thing you forgot to mention is that there is a magnet in the bottom of the razor. It is handy when you want to take the blade out and your hands are slick from shaving.
It's a great razor. No one has introduced this razor company like I have. I give it to people straight. And quit skipping around my videos I did mention the magnet on the bottom.🤣
#ohioshavesmerica Glad to see more exposure for these YPM razors. I've been looking hard at them and am still not sure which one is right for me. Also love all of the changes and enhancements with your videos. The format flows nicely and keeps me engaged.
Thank you much for your support
Honestly I had the titanium one and I like the stainless with the matte finish way more. Great razor!
Right on. Thanks for sharing
#ohioshavesmerica It is great to see Yates getting the attention that they deserve.
💯. Very underrated razor
I finally got my hands on the brass version of this razor, but alas my high hopes were dashed. I've been DE shaving for about 10 years and I get a great shave from the Rockwell 6S and the Karve Overlander. Unfortunately the 'Merica left me with razor bumps (which I never get) on the first shave and bleeding on the second. It was irritating enough that I'm not looking forward to a third try. (Personna blades in all of the above.) I guess there's truth to the saying, "your mileage may vary!"
Merica. That sucks.
#ohioshavesmerica Happy New Year Dave! Great shave and what a great shaving cream! I'll need to check that stuff out.
The shaving soap is wonderful
Just used my Merica for it's first shave. Great mild razor! I plan on using this when I'm shaving with light growth, a day or two. Otherwise I will use my Rex Konsul which is still smooth but much more aggressive.
Right on
#ohioshavesmerica.
I’ve been using bloom water as a pre pre shave for some time now. I massage my face with it and then apply a little PAA Tube 2.0. I don’t remember when I last had any irritation. As a bonus, I get a nice preview of the soap’s scent 👍 Wishing you a blessed New Year,
Al
Works out great for me as well because I like to face lather. Thanks for all your support Al have a happy new year and I will see you in 2024 my friend.
#ohioshavesmerica
Great end of year video. Razor and cream both look super. Video quality with transitions and effects looking more and more professional. Thanks for a great year of informative videos. You got me started into wet shaving and it has become a big part of my”me” time. Looking forward to 2024 and more content. Have a super new year and as always, keep em coming!🎉
You’re the best. Thanks for all your support in 2023. See you next year my friend
Just want to thank you for your videos. I’ve been researching safety razors. Watching your videos made me pull the trigger. Waiting on a Rockwell 6S to come in. Thanks again 👊🏻
#ohioshavesmerica
Glad to help. Thanks for your support
I like a 24mm knot. I also like the Rockwell 20mm knot. Synthetic is the way to go.
I agree, synthetic brushes are easy to use and lather up very quickly
Hey Dave!
Do you know if this Merica razor you had was as-machined or bead-blasted for the finish?
Thanks and keep up the fantastic work (you’re the best on YT in your field).
Had a nice finish doing so I'm gonna go with the blasted. Not 100% sure on that.
Jake confirmed it’s Bead-Blast. Thanks.
Can we see a comparison between this razor and the yates winner razor, love your chanel.
I don't have a Winning Razor Yet
I finally pulled the trigger on a stainless steel razor and this was it. Been using the Merica for about a month now and loving it. Right out of the gate you notice how balanced this razor is. The notch on the handle makes for a perfect hold. Yates did a good job with this design. How would you compare this to the Rockwell 6S?
Going to do a comparison soon. Not sure what plate it’s going to fall on
#ohioshavesmerica
I started wet shaving this December and so far I like it. After watch so many of your videos, I didn’t think it would be as tricky as it has been. I got the Rockwell 6C and the razor is great but I am still trying to find my favorite blade. Thanks for getting me interested in trying this.
That is awesome! Thanks for all your support my friend. Have a happy new year and I'll see you in 2024
Happy New Year, great review. Best wishes to the family.
Happy new year!
Great shave. Interesting razor. May have to pick one up. Happy new year 🎉
Happy new year my friend. Thanks for all your support. See you next year.
#ohioshavesmerica
I'm starting to develop a trend with your Yates videos (not that it is a bad thing): it sure does look like one could get away with a quick out the door one pass shave with their razor and the right blade combo (in your case the Personna comforts). That to me is the sign of a great razor. The fact it passed your alum block test is a double plus.
Totally amazing company. I wouldn’t be surprised if they double their business in 2024. Thanks for all your support.
Hi! Great review! Congrats! 921-M or Mercia for daiky shaving? And why? Thanks!
I've reviewed both Razors watch the videos and make your own conclusion.
I've been looking at this razor or the Yates Winning as an alternative to the Henson and Rockwell 6C I've been using. I like the weight and the shave of the 6C, but love the design and angle of the Henson. I know you hold the 6C in high regard. Does the Merica compete with it? Would you still pick the 6C over this?
"merica is a six plate on a Rockwell six whatever. I've been told the winning razor is very aggressive when it comes to Blade field. But I have not reviewed it yet. I am waiting for them to send me a couple more razors.
#ohioshavesmerica
I'm really liking what I'm seeing out of Yates! I'm waiting on the Winning currently, but the Merica is looking like a fantastic next razor with more efficiency but still being incredibly smooth.
Fantastic video as always. Hope you and your family have a great new year!
You're in! Happy new year. Thanks for all your support.
This is such a great razor. It really says a lot about Jake that there's no drop in quality from his most to least expensive razor.
I think the 'Merica is one of the best razors on the market at any price. It's a fantastic head shaver too. The handle feels great upside down and sideways.
I wasn’t expecting such a great shave. Truly a great investment for anyone.
Thanks for all the info!
You bet. Thanks for your support and 2023. I really appreciate it.
It was made by Yates but I got it from the wet shaving club!!!! With the matching stand . I also love the laser etched American flag!!!!!
Nice touch
I picked up A&E's "Which One's Pink?" from TRC simply because of the Floyd reference, and that stuff is excellent. Earthy scent with a little spice in there. Great lather with a nice sheen to it, and leaves a bit of a slick residue after the first pass. Think I'll be sticking with A&E for a while. Plus it's the initials of me and my wife's first names so I got that going for me, which is nice. Gunga galunga.
Great video as always! Hope you had a great holiday, and Happy New Year to ya!
Thanks for the update. Happy new year to you as well.
Happy new year, you make me want to get a new razor on the first day of the year. 😂😂😂😂
It will not disappoint
#ohioshavesmerica You make shaving look so easy and fun! I have used two A&E soaps, and had good shaves with them!
Great soaps
#ohioshavesmerica
Thanks for another great review. Great to see an American, family owned company making top quality razors
💈👍Great company
This is a neat razor, going to add it to what seems to be my never ending list of razors I want. 😂 I just got the leaf razor for head shaves and it’s awesome. Thank you so much for that recommendation.
#ohioshavesmerica
Welcome. Thanks for your support
#ohioshavesmerica great video, one of the first youtube channels I watched, when I got into wet shaving

Happy New Year #ohioshavesmerica
🎉Happy New Year
#ohioshavesamerica Happy New Year David. Wishing you and yours a healthy and happy new year.
Thanks brother. Happy New Year 🎆
Lookin hella clean My Guy
The first pass was just absolutely incredible. I was not expecting that good of a shave from the razor at all.
Have you reviewed the Yates Winning razor? If so, how does it compare to the Merica razor? Great review!
No. It’s coming in on the next run. I can’t wait to shave with it. Great company
I have one of these on order. Should be delivered on Tuesday.
Great choice my friend. Thanks for all your support and 2023. I look forward to next year. Have a happy new year.
@@OhioShaves how do you think it compares to the Henson AL13? This will only be my 2nd safety razor.
When I compare this video to your others, this razor seems to have more of a shearing sound (as opposed scraping). It sounds like a well-tuned hand plane on wood when it's cutting perfectly. Did you get the same sense compared with other razors - or might it just be the microphone? I guess I'll find out. I ordered one because of this review.
I think it's the microphone, but it's a hell of a razor. I really enjoy shaving with it.
Great info once again. Like always down to the point and no bs. This razor is definitely in my must have list. #ohioshavesmerica
Thanks. Looking for to the year here on TH-cam.
Vanille vendetta and peach and cognac are their best. Along with Spartacus, Asian plum, and aqua de Boracay
I'll look into this. Thank you.
Another great shave and video, David! I've been eyeing the Yates razors for a while now, but so far have resisted. Maybe I'll get lucky. 😃 #ohioshavesmerica
Good luck my friend
#ohioshavesmerica
Thanks for the great informative videos, sir! Thanks for a chance to win, and also, thanks for motivating me to push through my first several wet shaves. Im 6 months in, and couldnt have done it without your video tutorials for sensitive skin. You kick ass, ohio.. keep it up man!
Thanks brother. I appreciate your support
Looks like a really great razor. #OhioShavesmerica
Very impressive
@OhioShaves Timeless vs Yates?
Great idea.
#ohioshavesmerica the lather you have been getting with these a&e soaps looks incredible
That soap is another company that is way underrated. It's the best soap I've actually used and I've used all of them. Thanks so much for your support this year and have a happy new year.
#ohioshavesmerica
nice shave and razor happy new years brother.
Thanks brother. Happy new year and thanks for all your support and 2023. I really appreciate it.
How would a ti22 henson face off against the yates?
Trying to get my hands on a titanium Yates as we speak. I'm sure it would be a great comparison.
#ohioshavesmerica
happy new year!!!
Happy new year and thanks for all your support in 2023 my friend
#ohioshavesmerica Love the review and new edits. Jake really knows what he's doing over there. I'm waiting on a Gillette Tech to come in the mail. That soap does amazing; I'll def be buying it once I clear through a bit of the soaps I have. I'd love to know how it does on a headshave. Happy 2024 and look forward to more.
Thanks. That wouldn’t be surprised if they doubled their business in 2024. Enough people don’t do reviews of this razor or don’t give the credit that is actually due. Look forward to 2024. Have a happy new year.
#ohioshavesmerica I got my first razor off your review of the Rockwell 6C. Still getting the hang of it, but I’ve had some awesome shaves with it

Thanks a bunch, David!
I think I'll pull the trigger in the near future
Have you ever revisited this razor? Looks like it did you a great shave
I gave it away it was so good
@@OhioShaves you need another one brother. I started with the 921 with EH plate but wanted an all brass so I bought the Merica. It’s a perfect daily driver. I’m spoiled by my Yates Razors.
#ohioshavesamerica Wow! great shave I love the crunch and great audio. The slow-mo is pretty pimp also. The Personna great blade choice. I think I'm going to buy the A&E Incense & Oud or the Cathedral on my next soap purchase.
I was really impressed with this razor. I can’t believe how well it shaves.
I have been eyeing that razor.
It’s a sleeper. This razor is so good. I can’t believe more. People aren’t doing reviews about this razor. Says something about who people are because this razor is one of the best in the world.
#ohioshavesmerica that handle looks perfect. This and that soap are for sure on my radar
These are two very underrated products.
Thanks for joining the channel memberships. Much appreciated and you are entered into the Henson giveaway coming out this week.

How does it compare to the Henson or the Rockwell 6s?
On the same playing field. Great Razor
Happy 2024 New Year Everyone!

Razor Emporium has a good pre-shave soap that really helps a later bloom on your face (and takes the guess work out of using a pre-shave oil or gel.)
I've used A&E's "Tobacco Road" shave soap, shower soap, aftershave and cologne. It has a wonderful pipe tobacco scent that is the best I've found in trying many brands.
Have you ever tried the Wilkinson Sword blade? It's my favorite and I've tried it in a Feather plastic adjustable and a Rex Konsul. And I've tried a lot of blades.
I've tried the Wilkinson sword blades from Germany, but not the ones made in India. I know ken surf really likes the India made blades and from what I hear. It's a great price point as well.
#ohioshavesmerica
And a terrific shave there, David. A&E is one of the monster when it come to lather, they are also frequently on sale at the shaving store in my area
So good. Thanks for sharing
Happy New Year 🥳🎉
Happy new year!!
How does the Yates merica razor compare to the Rockwell and merkur razors you've reviewed? Wanted to check before i bought the merica one..
The Merica is the best shave of 2023 for me. If you want adjustable razor go for the Rockwell. Merkur isn't even close
@@OhioShaves thanks very much. I'll go order the merica!
Hello! Is that a bead blast finish or a stonewash finish?
Bead blast
#ohioshavesmerica
Great shave, I was looking forward to this vid! I’ve watched lots of your videos and you’ve helped me a lot in my DE shaving journey so thanks!
You’re the best. Thanks for all your support.
Subscribed love your videos need a razor happy new year
Thanks for your support. Happy New Year
I wonder why it's much cheaper than their other ss razor, always wanted to get it but thought it might be too mild , it did great on your beard especially that against the grain neck shave, I think this might be my next purchase
It’s an awesome razor and they have 0% interest for four months on their website. No-brainer because I love 0% interest.
I wished i had bought this razor sooner lol. I've heard good things, reviews. Got it with the bead blast finish, waiting for it to ship. I thought the magnet on the handle was cool too. On a side note I had bought a blackland era razor early last year and the top cap thread snapped. Yates has been on my radar for a while. 2023 I mostly used my Twig, Rockwell Model T and Razorocks and occasionally a vintage.
Good choice! Did Blackland replace the top cap?
@@OhioShaves I didn't bother trying to replace it since I bought the razor on a discount, they were having a sale since they we're discontinuing the razor. I don't think they have anymore. I was going to buy a whole used one with a more aggressive plate I that saw roaming on some website. I tried using a razorock .72 lupo top cap with some success lol.
@@OhioShaves Question how long did it take for you to get your order from Yates? I haven't updates that my order was shipped, I know they're a small company out of PA.
6 weeks@@Gotobecrazy
@@OhioShaves Oh wow, I should of bought the 921 Precision too for that long of a wait lol. Not that I need it right away, I got plenty of other razors.
# ohioshavesmerica
I had my first "no alum feedback" shave last week after almost 1 year of DE shaving and couldn't believe it either. Such a satisfying feeling.
That is awesome to hear. What razor are you using?
@@OhioShaves Gillette C King, bought it on a discount so long ago just to give wetshaving a try to be more environmentally conscious (convinced I'd go back to cartilage razors straight away) but fell in love and haven't looked back since!
#ohioshavesmerica
That razor looks amazing and I absolutely love that they stamped a flag on the top plate. Nice touch!
It's very special. Happy new year my friend and thanks for all your support and 2023. I'll see you next year.

How would you say it compares to the Henson?
If you’re a beginner, the Henson is still the best razor for a beginner. If you’re looking for the best stainless steel safety razor, then this is the one you should be looking at.
You have been doing a lot of Made in the USA reviews lately; it's great!
Not the traditional design, but have you tried the High Proof Razor?
Too much hype and not a good shave
@@OhioShaves Good to know. Glad I ended up going another route for my entry into shaving with a safety razor. Thanks!

#ohioshavesmerica i ordered those personna comfort coat blades made in USA, nice match up with the Yates Percision razor. looks amazing
Nice. Great choice. Thanks for posting
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Do an updated favorite blades. I recently bought a Henson AL13 and wanting to hear your thoughts on blades. RKs tore me up. I bought some Astra but got the india ones on accident and haven’t tried them yet. Was not aware of the india vs russia blade thing. Strongly thinking about some Wilkinson swords because idk why they just really appeal to me. Feathers scare me with how sharp they are. Contemplating personna as well. Would love to hear your thoughts though!
I have one coming out. Parker and Gamble or Gillette moving out of Russia really screwed up my favorite safety razor blades. They are now made in different countries and I have not tried them all yet. I always suggest buying a variety pack from Amazon, or a place that offers a variety of blades
