Then why does it deliver such a great shave? When I was at the Shave Collectibles Mtg in Cincinnati last month I acquired one for three dollars. The collector who sold it to me said he’d buy it back for double if I didn’t like the shave. The razor is tiny, but it does deliver the goods!

    There was once a Turkish shave site, bestshave.net, but it has not been active for a few years. That was one of their best sellers. It was a great place to get soaps and the famous hammered shaving cup.

    Yuma/Feather (3). Way better than an $8 razor should be. Indeed if I didn't shave my head I'd be just fine with this as a daily driver. Very smooth. Fatty handle works much better for my head shave and there its shortcomings in efficiency were more noticeable, clean ups were with the Leaf. Next use I'll use a fresh blade and see how much improvement is gained. Very satisfying overall.[​IMG]

    I've read in other threads the statement that the Yuma looks just like a Merkur 42 or is a clone of some other early German design. Hmm .
