    Default Shumate 5/8 restore

    Just finished this restore on a Shumate 5/8 razor.
    Cleaned up the razor and sanded to 1500 wet/dry, using WD40 after 400 grit
    Scales are basic white acrylic with matching wedge.
    Polished scales and blade with Flitz.
    Pics ... cause we all like pics.

    Honed up this razor yesterday to 8K (Naniwa)and shave tested this morning.
    Quite a nice shave with just a little pulling around the chin area.
    A trip back to the 8k will be done later today to try and get it smoother
