    Nice! Made before they moved to St. Louis. Looks like it could use a little correction on the heal, nothing major rhough.

    I found the advertising at that time, a very special marketing method.

    I have a similar size Shumate razor that I found in my uncle's house when he died. It may have belonged to his father. The one I have was made in St. Louis. Unfortunately, it is one of the few razors in my collection that won't take and hold an edge sharp enough for my beard. Mine is closer to half-hollow. Full hollow, extra hollow and bellied hollow blades seem to work best for me.
