Thanks Hiralau. Does anyone have any idea as to how many different razors Shumate produced?
It would be cool to make it a hobby to acquire as many different ones as possible that they produced but how many are there? :confused:

I've only got 5 of them, but I admit, they're definitely underrated!
They take a heck of an edge very easily!
*EDIT* Hey, I just noticed...someone stole 99% of my posts & most of my thanks!!
MOD!!!

I just shaved a while ago for the first time with a Shumate....the Peacemaker I just posted a picture of above.
Best shave yet! I love that razor and can't wait to get the other five Shumates I have restored and honed. I think I'm a Shumate junkie now. ;)
Glad to hear your Shumates are serving you well, ProudMarineDad! These are definitely top notch razors we have here...
Well, my first straight and "first" Shumate arrived today. The mailman tossed it to me from 5 feet away, fortunately it was well boxed...
I don't know anything about it's history other than it's a Barber, that at one time "L.M" owned it and seems to have taken pretty good care of it, it has only a few spots and a a nice clean edge. I'm sending it out for a cleaning, polishing and honing then will give it a try.

I just restored this Shumate President and am going to give it a test shave later this evening.
I really like the shoulder on this design.

It shaves great! Another excellent Shumate razor. I have six different Shumates so far. ;)
I have a Shumate Lightning. It was one of my first razors and will have to did into my box for a picture.
