I actually got my hands on a dozen, shipped out of Ukraine for ~$27 total on eBay (~$2.25 each, while singletons are listed for $20 or more). I had some RAD starting to bubble up a few weeks ago, and I posted about not being able to find anything to scratch that itch because there's nothing out there that's worth a damn. I think in one of my posts I even mentioned that the Yuma was more compelling than anything else out there right now. AND I WAS RIGHT.
What a great razor. Going in it looks pretty suspect, but I trusted what I had read on this board and went ahead with it. The magic is in the Yuma's light weight and prominent blade feel. It's super-efficient while weighing next to nothing, which combines to create a really comfortable, high-performing razor. There's a little bit of blade chatter, but it's not as bad as it seems initially. Yes there's a blade alignment issue, but it didn't matter. Yes there seems to be some minor plating loss on this brand-new razor, and that doesn't matter either. The results speak for themself, and they're spectacular.
All you folks talking about getting these other high-end razors should do yourself a favor and order a dozen on these bad boys. I can see them being great for travel, giving away, and using the hell out of because they are cheap and fantastic.
Stop what you're doing and get a Yuma.
