I never, ever, make this kind of "fan-boi" posting, but shoot... this is the purtiest razor I've seen come down the 'pike in I can't remember how long. If my finances were different, I'd be all over it like plaid on a piper!

So he asked if I wanted to get together for a coffee and talk razors and I said sure and I asked him to bring along the blade in the listing.
So, guess your Birthday came early this year JB, when the Geneva Razor came home with me it asked me to get you to PM me your address, it hates Canadian winters, wants to come to Florida where it's warm and sunny, and be with someone who really likes it!
Hope you like it JB....will wait for your PM.

Boy I saw the nicest Mastro Livi on his website ......... :w
It was no problem, glad to I could pay it forward a bit, and it will be good to see a nice blade like that go to a fellow SRP member...it really is a nice blade, he said he doesn't even think its ever been honed, it's literally in perfect condition. He asked me if I wanted him to hone the razor, and I told him not to, think JB will have that covered. PM'd JB, just waiting to get a shipping address and I'll send it off to sunnier climes tomorrow.Quote:

Hahaha! That's great! The first time we went to New York, and wondered out of the Port Authority Train station, there he was, Jackie Gleason, Ralph Kramden, lunchbox in hand, welcoming us to The Big Apple...he was one of a kind!Quote:

Hope you enjoy the razor, JB!
This thread made my night. What a great community.
Awesome. :tu
Well, the Genco, with few tears, bid adieu to Canada this morning after many years, and is excited and thrilled to be returning to the good old United States of America, home, and to a relaxing retirement in the capable hands of JBHoren, catching some rays and chillin' in Florida!
PM on the way with the info JB!
:D
Hi Phrank,
Wonderful way to pass it forward, Wish't it were coming my way. A great razor in the nicest of clothes.
The thought and execution of the pass it forwards and gifting makes this a great group of guys.

Phrank, you da man!!
Phrank, that was very nice of you to do, thats why I love SRP, & its members. :chapeau
The SRP community is absolutely the best!
Good on ya, Phrank! :bow
+1 Phrank!
You are a GREAT GUY! :mexwave::tu
(you have to read this post's title with Chris Berman's voice, a la "He could go all.the.way!")
What can I say? Speaking Phrankly, it's as nice "in person", as it is "in the movies". It's got a heft to it... not too heavy, not too light. It really is "the purtiest razor I've seen come down the 'pike in I can't remember how long"... and it ended-up here.
Now, it's waiting to be picked-up for honemeister sharpening. I've never shaved with a straight razor that passed the HHT, or was honed to a high level of sharpness... where my role (besides shaving with it) was one of "maintaining" its edge. I look forward to that.
I'm planning next Friday's SOTD to feature this razor... stay tuned!
JB
If like that one you would love this one.
Ivory scales and tang, barbers notch and pyramid spine.
