I personally test shave each razor before final disinfection. Shave ready is different to each person. Factors like light or coarse beard or beard length come into play. I have a heavy beard and test shave every razor on a two day growth. If razor gives a close comfortable shave I call it shave ready. If it does not shave right I re-hone the razor.

Payment due in three days.

A little worn for my taste. But I'd love to find a Texas-era Shumate razor at some point. GLWTS.

Very cool. Just a little to much where. The price is great.

Unfortunately the blade had a big chip in it. Had to bread knife it out. It is shave ready. It means more to some collectors as it is from Austin not St. Louis. That's why the price is low.

I'll buy it if it's still available
