Shumate
Picked this up last week. It's ugly but the geometry looks real good. I am going to try and clean it up a bit but mainly, it's for honing practice.

I don't know about the ugly part, but I do know my Shumate is a fine shaver.

Pretty razors are overrated anyway. My Shumate has a nice personality and is an excellent shaver. My money says once you get an edge on it you won't be able to resist putting it in your rotation (even if she ain't the prettiest girl at the dance.)

I just acquired a Wester Bros with the same intention. It cleaned up really nicely, and I'm sure yours will as well. Watch her become your favorite once you put a nice edge on her.

Really nice. Doesn't requre much, imo. You could polish the scales and maybe take a little Blue Magic or MAAS and a cloth and you're ready for honing.

True. While Shumates are usually quite pedestrian, they made some cool smiling blades. Good steel.
They started in Texas before moving to St Louis.
Found a pic of my smiler!
Good stuff, Shumate!

Right Tom. I'm sure you know they originated in Austin, TX. I have a couple from Austin & two or three from St. Louis. They're good razors & I don't think Redcane's is ugly! Originally Posted by sharptonn

I think the Genco/Geneva's are good razors too. Here's one I got in a small lot of razors & when I got them, there was an old leather pouch not shown & in it was this Geneva with a beautiful smile to it!
