    Default Project Genco..

    I got this razor a long time ago, and had really just used it as something to experiment on. It's seen a treadle operated grinding wheel, assorted machinist stones, sandpaper, greaseless compound, a 1500 grit sanding drum, then the same drum with green polishing compound on it. Not in any particular order mind you...it was all just experimentation over the course of a few months. As you can see from the before pic. She was very ill when I got her. The finish isn't consistent, and I still don't think it'll be anybody's treasured razor, but it does hone easily, and shave great. So here it is, for all the world to see. Very few razors are too far gone I guess. I never intended to put it back together, but I noticed one day that it really was quite shiny, and I had all my abrasives questions answered with everything I put it through. Seemed only fair to put it in scales and try a shave.
