Thread: Absolutely Flat on the Face

When I was going through my razors cases I came across my Shumate 25 box. The advise on the back goes against what most people here say
"In order to secure the keenest shaving edge possible to produce Shumate razors are ground extremely thin, but they will remain sharp and continue to give a perfect shave if held flat on the face. In shaving hold this razor ABSOLUTELY FLAT ON THE FACE."
At the moment I am unable to test this as mine needs a run through the tumbler then the hones, but regardless what are the thoughts on this. So far with my limited experience it does not sound like a good idea.
