Welcome, I’m still new here as well. B&B is great and I love my Yates razors! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too. Here’s my Winning and Merica razors both phenomenal. If I had to say (I’m no expert but based on personal experience) the Winning razor is a tad milder than the Merica but again both are premo in my book.I'm a new guy here on B&B and new to wet shaving. I started with a Ralf Aust SR, but soon realized this was a bit of a reach. I bought a Goodfellas' Smile Bayonetta to use on my head and to touch up my face after the SR - I mean really touch up after the SR shave. I like the Bayonetta but I've heard so many good things about the Yates Winning, I think it might the choice for me for a head shaving razor. I also like the fact that it's family operation here in the USA. So, I pulled the trigger and I'm on the one to three week waiting list.
