I would have had a 4th but the day it said out for delivery, I was here and I saw the mail lady stop. I checked and it wasn't there and after that, tracking said delivered. Whoever got it didn't return it to the PO. It would have been the nicest of all.
The beautiful razors produced by Austin, each one is rare, thank you for sharing.Quote:

The Shumate Razor Austin Tex. SHANK position of this razor may have nickel plating, and some nickel layers have disappeared, and the Shumate produced in the later period has no nickel plating.

I have a tungsteel like the one on the far right, although mine is made in St. Louis. I love the smiling edge and the steel is so hard it is hard to hone but holds that edge for a long, long time.
I also have two tungstens which are also great shavers. That era of American steel was spectacular.
I'd really love le to have a.round toe tungsteel like that one in the middle. That makes a nice eclectic set. It looks a bit wider. I believe my square point is 5/8". Is that round point 6/8"?
Austin Tex. RAZOR is also very hard, probably tungsten steel.Quote:
