Dang, you are an extremely generous group here. I have been considering getting into shaving with a straight for a couple of months now, but just can't seem to find the funds to get started. I just purchased a Genco Henry X from someone on ebayfor a whopping $11.50. It was pretty pitted when I got it, but I have started trying to clean it up. I still have a lot of work before it will be any where near shave ready, and could really use something to shave with until I get it done.

When you do decide how you would like to give this razor away, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be placed in the running.

Just in case you are wondering, I have the rust gone, and the whole blade has been polished with a dremel. Not perfect, but a whole lot better than when I got it. I kinda cracked the scales trying to remove blade out so I could properly clean the tang. I fugured that I might as well have some fun while I was fixing things, so I bought some purple heartwood and plan to make a valiant effort at making scales for my razor while I have it apart.
