Just thought I'd introduce myself. I've been using a DE razor for a few years now, and I decided to step into the world of straight razors. I bought a Shumate Barber, and sent it to Lynn for honing. I just got it back, an tried it for the first time. Everything went great. Lynn does wonders on dull razors. I did a WTG pass and an ATG pass, and just had to touch up around my jaw line and my chin.
