Thread: The "Shumate Shaving Society"

Here's one of my older ones...The first scales disinegrated in Panama..It layed in a box for years before I put some Koa scales on the Wizard..I have gotten better since and need to take it back apart and give t some TLC..

Welcome to the SSS Wintchase

I see yer from my old home town....

Thanks! I don't plan on going anywhere. I moved around for 40 yrs. I am sticking here where the weather is good and the mountains are close, and finally the fish (trout) are easy fishin'. I have five fishing holes within 5 miles. I live up by the Air Force Academy.

I had a place up off Research and Rangewood been here in Idaho for almost 8 years though .. how long ya been in the Springs????

Here is another attempt to post my pictures. I have since changed the scales to a plain black.

Oooooo That is a nice Shoulderless, welcome to the Clubhouse sir

Since "03" at the beginning of Iraq. Ranger branch beefed up Hood and Carson before the push. I ended upp retiring here and working with L3 Comm in Space Command on Peterson. Great job and a great place to end up...I live up in Glen Eagle..Last street before you et to Monument.

I'll be down in July this year I send ya a pm when I am heading there, I know there are a few other guys from the area maybe we can all get together... And talk some "Razor Rattle" as my wife calls it...

I just bought a Shumate tungsten. How are they compared to other shumates?I see from this group everyone likes these razors. How is the steel in these? I read they dont hold an edge as good as steel across the pond, is this true?

The last one I bought from someone had a defect and I had to send it back so this is my second attempt at this brand. I don't know anything about the shumate tungsten.

LOL

First rule of the SSS is we don't tell non -SSS people anything about how good Shumate's shave Shhhhhhh it is a secret

See we start that stuff and the next thing ya know we will have to actually pay real money for these things...

Most of the old "Steels" are just hype, like the Silver, Tungsten, Damascus & Magnetic stamps on many of the old razors pretty much plain ole' Carbon or Stainless...

Welcome to the club but keep it on the downlow ok
