Great deal from some early morning browsing on the bay. Early Shumate before they moved to St. Louis in 1904. Amazing condition. Only $25 with free shipping.
The proper dresser case for those two rasoirs is in Arizona. Ship them to me and I will tuck them away safe and sound.A friend sold me these 6/8 Le Grelot 355. Now I need to find a proper dresser case for them!

If the blade is in reasonably good nick, I don't think that you'll be disappointed. My Bengalls (8, including one out on loan to @aussie) shave very well.Pulled the trigger on my first Sheffield today...Bengall with a broken scale but a decent looking blade that I scored for 25 bucks.
Can't wait for it to arrive!

That's a fair price. I have two of them and they shave very well - a tribute to "Made in America"!Great deal from some early morning browsing on the bay. Early Shumate before they moved to St. Louis in 1904. Amazing condition. Only $25 with free shipping.

Thanks for the detailed pictures. I have read about the microtome razors, but had never seen one.Ahhhh. Now that makes sense. Medical related, thus the Bausch and Lomb Optical manufacturer.
I just got this Bausch and Lomb Optical Co. razor in the mail today which was made in Germany. Unlike any other straight that I have seen before it is almost perfect wedge on one side and half hollow on the other. Look at the shoulders, one side has a single shoulder and the other side none at all.
Is this something that anyone is familiar with? I have a Japanese folding western style straight that is ground like a traditional kamisori, but even the asymmetrical side is hollowed out to some extent.
If you are familiar with this kind of grind, please enlighten me as I have not seen it before.

I do believe that your razor was used on me for the very first Lasik procedure lol!
Ouch!!
BTW, that was a nice member interview, Titleist. As far as Bing goes, I'm all about the crooning and the acting, less about the pipe and clubs. My golf is all about the company I keep, which might explain my typical card at the end of a round. Hey, my 19th hole is always an eagle.
