Yates Merica

The Yates Merica safety razor, crafted with meticulous American craftsmanship, excels in providing an exceptional shaving experience. Constructed from solid 316 stainless steel, this razor is praised for its high quality build and precision fitting, boasting a durability that is built to last. With a neutral blade exposure, the Merica delivers a shave that balances mildness with efficiency, making it perfect for both seasoned shavers and beginners wanting a smooth shave without irritation.

Available in different finishes such as as-machined, bead blast, or stonewashed, and with the option of patriotic top cap engravings, the Merica has a refined look that appeals to users’ aesthetics. The 3.125″ spiral-grooved handle enhances maneuverability and grip, while the magnet at the bottom of the handle simplifies the blade changing process. Weighing a solid 98 grams, the substantial weight of the razor contributes to its solid feel, promoting a controlled shave where the razor’s weight aids in the process. The thoughtful inclusion of a magnetic blade picker and the marine-grade stainless steel construction, further underscores the razor’s practical design and long-lasting nature.

Aesthetics

The aesthetics of the as-machined titanium are appreciated for their look, with a preference expressed for the finish. It holds a classic yet unique appeal. - From the SIG SOLO video

The option to have an American flag imprinted and the overall CNC machined marine-grade stainless steel construction give it a sleek and patriotic look. - From the Mark Szorady video

Aggressiveness

The neutral blade exposure of the razor achieves a mild but effective shave, which is something I appreciate. It removed significant beard growth smoothly, indicating a well-balanced aggressive nature. - From the Ohio Shaves video

The razor shaves closely without causing irritation, suggesting an optimal level of aggressiveness that suits daily use. - From the Mark Szorady video

With a gap of 0.53 millimeters and neutral exposure, the razor is mild yet surprisingly efficient. The comparison to shaving with an R1 on the Rockwell indicates a gentle but effective shaving experience. - From the SIG SOLO video

Construction

Constructed from stainless steel with a three-piece design, the razor appears to be of high quality, with precise fitting and no blade movement once assembled. - From the Ohio Shaves video

Constructed from titanium, the razor boasts durability and a high-quality feel. The mention of the same specs and magnet at the bottom as the stainless steel version suggests thoughtful design continuity. - From the SIG SOLO video

The high-quality CNC machined 100% marine-grade 316 stainless steel construction is very durable and well-crafted, ensuring a long-lasting razor. - From the Mark Szorady video

Handle Grip

The handle's knurling is praised for providing a 'very, very grippy' feel, which is effective even when hands are wet. - From the Mark Szorady video

Length

The handle length is 3 inches and one-eighth, which provides ample space for grip. The length is adequate, but it's worth noting that some may find it almost 'treble size' and perhaps longer than necessary. - From the SIG SOLO video

The handle length of 3.125 inches offers excellent maneuverability, which is crucial for precision and control during a shave. - From the Ohio Shaves video

Weight

At 98 grams, the weight of the razor is substantial, contributing to its solid feel and balance during the shave. - From the Ohio Shaves video

The weight is remarkably light at 54 grams, contributing to the razor's nimble feel during the shave. However, some users may prefer a bit more heft for a feeling of control. - From the SIG SOLO video

The weight of the razor is described as balanced, contributing to a shave where 'the weight of the razor does all the work.' - From the Mark Szorady video
