I picked this up about a week ago. It's a Shumate Vulcan in pretty nice shape.
I will restore it as best as I can but this is how it arrived.

Looks beautiful as is, clean , hone & enjoy.
Thanks Hirlau. The pin is not tight at the pivot and the scales are not quite perpendicular so I am thinking a bent pivot pin?
Need to replace it and clean it up a bit when it's unpinned. I am a little leary of taking out the pivot pin with that beautiful bolster on it.
Guess I will have to be real careful and use a hand file slowly under magnifying lenses like I do with plastic modeling. :)
Good luck, take your time.
Thats a very nice Shumate razor in very nice condition, they are wonderful shavers, after your restoration please post it in the Shumate club.

I am looking at all the "Eye candy" on that Shumate club thread.
