Let me start by saying that, after reading my post, the gentleman from whom I purchased my Shumate has offered to sharpen it again for me. For this and so many other reasons I can only praise this community.

At this point I'm going to send the other razors I've acquired off to be honed and made shave ready. (Hopefully I've learned enough that my eBay purchases aren't wasted money.) Due to proximity and the community's praise of Lynn's work I'll be getting those off to him the near future. At this point I'm going to keep using the razor I have, all the better to ascertain my inadequacies.
