My second resto and first without scales on it.All hand sanded and Dremel with Mass. Waiting on some tools and parts to rescale. Will be using some old scales I found at the antique store for this one to learn with.

Amazing how nicely it cleaned up. Looks like it was made yesterday.

It's amazing what a good restore can do to an old razor. If I only saw the first picture I would have thought it was not salvageable. Great job!

Very impressive work there

I can tell you from experience that they are very good shavers, I haven't met a Shumate yet I didn't like

Thanks everyone!

This one was in some ways easier as it didn't have the scales getting in the way like the last one. But did find after I hit it with the Mass I moved up too soon at some point and some fine sanding marks remain. But still very happy with this being only my 2nd attempt.

I need to get some better lighting or something so I can see better to know when I can move up in grits. Would a loupe with an LED on it be a good purchase for this you think?
