    In my continued testing for my Army of American Straights, today I used a Shumate razor. (Three syllables, pronounced [shu-MAH-tay].) From St. Louis, MO between 1904 and 1932. Below is an advertisement for this razor.

    Note that my razor is no longer curved along the edge, but has been honed to a straight edge. This was a way of making a G-slide or guillotining motion with a straight. It still gives a fantastic shave.

    Montgomery Ward mail order straight. A keeper for sentimental reasons.

    Wow! These are some impressive blades. I didn't use my best razor today, but it's still a goody. The spartacus thiers-issard. Classic.
