Genco in a new suit.

I picked this one up a while ago, and a fellow member from Toronto just recently asked if I had anything laying around that would be nice....I thought of this. We chatted, and came up with Cocobolo, brass and NiAg pins. It had quite a lot of deep pitting in the hollows and on the spine. I was able to remove much of it, but got a bit hesitant to keep digging. Still, I think this came out pretty nice.

...and since we've had a bunch of comments lately on Arko, I thought I'd use it for a prop instead of my regular use of Cohibas. :) :)

Beautiful work on the blade and the scales. Wonderful prop as well.:)

Nice job Nate!
Great choice of wood!

:tu

Mike

and a fine suit it is for sure very nice!!

Well done! :tu :tu Two of my favorites, cocobolo and Genco razors. There is too little metal on hollow grinds to remove but the lightest of blemishes. As long as the blemishes aren't on the bevel they don't effect the shave. Enjoy this beauty when she comes up in rotation!

Those scales are perfectly proportioned and look great. I agree with Joe, cocobolo and Gencos two of my favorites also.

+1... Great combination & outcome :tu

Beautiful! I like how the grain interacts with the overall "sweep". If you don't mind me asking as a noob to cocobolo, what is it finished with?

I love the look of wood. Great job, very eloquent.

That scale shape suits that blade perfectly. nice work Maxi :tu

Well I must say that is one gorgeous razor!!! Now I guess I should also mention that I'm the lucky SOB that's going to be shaving with it! I can't thank you enough Nathan.

Considering this is my first I couldn't ask for anything more.

Cheers,
Brandon

I love the look of that Cocobolo! That new suit, definately suits this razor!!! Great work ! Ken

I got to see that razor in person today and, let me tell you, the photos, while good, don't do it justice. It's a phenomenal piece of work. Good job, Nate.

Three coats of Renwax, and then a final buff on a loose cotton wheel.
