    Question Trouble with a Shumate #25

    I am having no trouble with any of my straight's except a really nice looking Shumate #25. I have done nothing different to it than the rest of my vintage razors so any thought's or advice would be a BIG help!

    A little more info would be helpful

    Pic of the razor both sides and what you are using would help us help you

    Without that we are shooting in the dark and you are going to get some well intentioned yet useless feedback

    My granddaughter stole my cord to hook the phone to the puter'. There really is no wear to speak of on the spine. I touched up the bevel with my Barbers hone using instructions from this site & it appears ok. One thing I have found with this blade is it sounds dead compared to any of my other blades. I went over the blade with a 10 power loupe & could find no cracks or obvious problems.
    I will get Pics. up as soon as I can.
