Thread: Shumate Razors

I have a Shumate Tungsteel swayback square point I "rescued" from a local antique shop for $12. I think it is one of my best shavers!

they both were a dead cinch to hone and shave wonderfully.

Are you sure that's not a Shuredge? I've got one just like that in my hands right now, and it says Robeson Shuredge. All my Robesons have taken a really superb edge, but this one is better than most of my Solingens.

I've got one of these Tungsteel swaybacks in a 9/16 round point and it's a delightful little razor, very light and agile and sharp as heck.
