    Default American Razor

    I'm not an expert on razors, especialy when it comes to brand names. I'm familiar with the most common names but... when the concerned razor out of the mainstream brands I get confused.
    Can anyoe tell me something about this razor?

    shumate1651

    I am quite interested in it and, as I've read, the website is trust worthy. I think I've read that the owner is a member here. But since I am a newbie I need some extra information as to know if that can be a second razor. The third will be a robust and trusty Wapenica!

    Thanks!

    By all accounts Shumate is a great brand!

    well... bad case of RAD!

    I went into the chat room and started chating with Nicolas. Asked what he thought about it and, suddently, we scrambled for it. Both of us! He said that if it were there tomorrow he would buy it! Argh! I said to myself... and bought it! He was gentlemanly, indeed. He gave me the "if you don't... I'll do!"
    And I did! And I also bought a nice little Wappi!
    Wonder when it will get here, though... Can't wait!

    Shumate is an excellent razor. It is a first run razor. The are made with top shelf steel.

    Steve Dempster is Blueprinciple here in the forums? If he is, he's the one who sold me the Shumate through "the invisible edge". He has great razors there, and all seem to be e tip top shape. Plus he is very polite and indeed professional. I can't wait until I get the razors I bought: the Shumate and a Wappi. Coulnd't let those slip away...
    And thanks for the input on the shumate.

    American Carbon Steel, the best there is.

    As I recall Shumate is out of Texas. Great razors.
