Thread: My new razors

I recently got a Schumate 135 and a Hope 713 at an antique store.

The Schumate:

Both blades have some issues, the schumate blade is slightly rounded toward the tip. The Hope has a notch off of the corner, it looks pretty clean so I don't know if it was done on purpose.

So what do you think? Worth the $15 that I paid for the pair? I would like to shave with the Schumate at least.

the shumate should clean up to be a very nice shaver sometimes spikes were purposely down down, "muted", if the owner found them to difficult to shave bloodlessly with.

the hope i am not familiar with but you could easily grind the toe chip into a round point on the narrow edge of a hone... then clean it up and let us know how she shaves.
