Just got the email. They are phasing them out.$39.99 while they last.
Winning Razor Phased Out
- Thread starter Big_T
- Start date
And discount Merica20 still works
I wonder what's going to replace the Winning. I came around to really liking it. At the new discounted price it should be a no brainer for those wanting an excellent budget razor.
No brainer? My second TWR, a backup (why I do not know) on the way.
I had one and traded it. Couldn't pass up this offer as it is an awesome razor. My first I polished up with a little Maas. This next one will be the one I learn how to use polishing compounds for a mirror finish. Every hobby needs a sub-hobby, right?
I suspect they are at the end of their current batch and got a quote for a new batch. I also suspect the cost savings from minimising the machining time originally cited has shrunk making it too close to the 'Merica. Unfortunately, $70 is still a really good price for razor made in a western country and the 'Merica was their first design. I bet they are just going to stick with it as the sole offering for the time being. Unless it too has to go up in price soon...
Conjecture: TWR was too similar a razor when compared to Jake's 921 razor, BUT at a much lower profit margin. Also, there are expectations that the 921 series will expand the component choices (also moe profitable), occupying machining capacity.
Well there went $40
I like that they offer stands for both razors, hope Yates adds stands as options to their razors, too. Their 90$ razor stand isn't really to my liking.
They said the Merica outsells the Winning Razor, which seems unlikely.
They are lowering the price on the Merica razor to $70 which seems strange if it is their best seller.
I bet they have to lower the price to $70 to go head to head with the Razor Rock razors.

I’m betting that your bet would be a sure bet
I suspect $20 wasn't enough of a difference to customers. I seem to remember this was a price point razor and it looks the part!
-but performs like a $100 razor, that weighs too much.
Just got mine for 31.99 (-20% code) plus 5.00 shipping.
There is no need to know why. Don't worry. We are all in the same madhouse.
After reading many favorable reviews, I thing a lot of people on B&B will quickly buy a lot of these great razors!
Get 'em while you can!

That's a shame! This razor is an unbelievable deal. Get it before they run out!
MERICA20 not working anymore, but this is still an incredible deal on very well made solid stainless razor! I have one and ordered a second.
Just throwing in a theory:
They're made by Yates. Could it be that Yates wont be making them anymore?
Considering his up and coming "build your own razor" program, maybe they're gonna concentrate on their own sales.
And selling the Yates razors direct for $135+ has to be more profitable than making $50 (selling price) razors for someone else.
Just a thought!

A very good razor
This is what I was thinking too. It seems like it would be tough to have the profit margins at that small a scale. Razorock could do it, and I hope they keep on doing it, they are making great products.
