Thread: The "Shumate Shaving Society"

Hey you all, new member here, joining for this thread. I found a Shumate straight razor in an old house about 20 years ago while moving some things for a friend in high school. It's been in boxes through a half moves and recently surfaced in my most recent home. It never occurred to get it restored. Here are a few pics. Let me know if it's a good candidate or needs to be kept in my desk as a weapon.

It says 421 Barber's Pet on one side, Simmon's Hardware Co, Made In Germany on the other, the box is in good shape for the age, but there's a notch in the blade that I'm not sure of.
