Poll on possible pass around of the Yuma Razor

[Dave in KY]

So Back around 2012 ( I believe ) the Yuma was a big discussion on the forums as a cheap and cheaply made razor that was fairly aggressive at the time. Sold for $2.98. It weighs about 1 ounce and has a hollow handle that gives feedback of every hair cut. It is made from a cheap pot metal. Although cheaply made if cared for it can last a long time as it was my daily driver for @3 years some time ago and I've owned it since @2012 and can be seen in my SOTD pic today. It isn't a display piece but can give a close and comfortable shave. I have a Brand New spare that I can pass around if anyone is interested in trying a piece of history that some are putting on ebay for $85 claiming it's a antique World War II German razor ?? I will do the pass around if enough interest and at the end of the pass around the person with it will mail to the winner of a random drawing of everyone that participated in the pass around. This isn't the Pif thread but just gauging interest if I should start a pass around/Pif thread for it.

It’s such a cool looking razor. I’ve always wanted to visit Yuma, AZ.

I really don't have much experience with DEs at all so in the interest of expanding my knowledge I'd give it a go.

I always wanted to try the Yuma, unfortunately I missed the $3 days and found out about it when folks were asking $50 for a WWII vintage razor. I'm not sure about visiting Yuma, AZ though.

Yep, with the added bonus of maybe owning a piece of history ?

Just don't send it to me first.

Just don't send it to me first.

Just put everybody in the order that they posted. Why don't you just place your name where you want to be in the stack.

I’m a history buff (even when it’s not!), I’ll try it.

Those prices are insane for a Yuma.

Glad to finally see some interest in this. I am sure more will jump in as we get going.
