That it shaves is an absolute plus - drool lol!!!
Yeah it shaves beautifully!
I couldn't tell the blade size from the pictures, but I thought it might be a 5/8. I was surprised to find it at 4/8. Luckily I'm not hung up on having only bigger razors.
I have an old smiling W&B that is 4/8 and smiles too. It's immaculate, like a brand new blade.
I just seem to like my Shumates a bit more.
Re: 4/8 Shumate Tungsteel
I think it's just an advertising ploy really. There's probably some in the alloy, but not enough to really make a difference.
But that's just a guess on my part.

I've never been able to put as nice an edge on it as I would like so I don't shave with it all that often.
I love to look at it though, it's all beautiful razor and looks absolutely brand new. Maybe one day I'll get myself a coti and try it on one of them, or maybe I'll send it off eventually. I'd like to be able to use it more.
Re: 4/8 Shumate Tungsteel
Yeah, I'm going to try and start all over again with it here soon. I'm busy getting my more recent ebay razors sorted right now though. I'm thinking next week I'll give it a shot again.
I occasionally scan the ebay for cotis though. Eventually I'll get one.
