Had to brag..

Genco was on a medium priority list for me, but I think I got a nice piece in this one. Well, it will be, once I clean it up.

Nice looking razor. I like it.
You will definately be satisfied
with it.

I bid on this one for the heck of it, expecting for it to go above my budget. Another razor from the same seller was my real target, thought noone would want it, and it went for like $46 lol.
The reason I bid on it in the first place was curiosity about Gencos as they generated some good buzz here.
This is an addiction and I think it stopped being funny even to Nenad. He must be sadly shaking his head as we go to our RA (razorcholics anonymous) meeting.

An addiction is an understatement. I received a Wilbert
from Joe on Friday. This makes my 8th razor.

Why a Wilbert? I liked the ornate scales. Leaves and berries.
The razor is a 5/8 sp. I shaved with it Saturday morning and
was quite pleased.

But really, I need to set the brakes on adding more razors.
What I need to do is refuse to go to Joe or Bill's web pages.
Sometimes I can fight temptation, sometimes I can't.

I have 6 in the rotation, 4 project pieces, this one on the way and I'm bidding on another one on e-bay, again hoping I'll catch it cheap this time around. On a good note, I will be able to start buying the occasional blade for the giveaways soon. The Winner restored my faith in finding a great shaver for under $10.

I have a couple of Gencos and they are at the top of my list shave-wise. I gave my 6/8 genco to a friend and am getting him hooked on the str8 shave as well. Genco razors rock.

That's the reason I got it. Heard some great reviews about it and it was cheap, from a good vendor. Can't wait to start working on it and a couple more pieces, just too busy with my current job.

Somebody call the Razor Police 'cuz Ilija just STOLE that blade! :eek:

It wasn't me, I swear! I was just inspecting the blade, when it stuck to my fingers and I didn't notice it when I left the store :shrug:

i was lookin at that one, but i ended up findin a few others instead. it looks real nice. my genco from lynn shaves real nice, youll be happy with it....

I have one genco; and, I'm sure I mentioned to you about how sweet it is while you were over. Out of all the blades I've honed up so far (which, however, isn't too many) the genco took by far the keenest edge. It is scary sharp.

I'm always keeping my eyes open for genco's. I'd like to snag another one just to see if they're all as good as the one I have. I came across the same auction you won in my ocassional ebay rummaging, but held off when I saw your name. Nice catch btw, and for that condition, a very nice price.

Thanks Jason. I was thinking it was gonna go higher, so my bid was more of a "what the heck" kinda thing. Now I can't wait for my job to be done, so I can dedicate some time to polishing the Genco/Tonsorial/W&B and working on the scales (got the blanks from Nenad and I want to try making cocobolo scales for the W&B). I'll have to search out the forums for the link to your dremel drum trick as I'll be doing a whole lotta sanding lol.

Just an update... It arrived this morning and there was virtually ZERO hone-wear. Can't wait for my flap-wheels to arrive so I can give her a polish, a quick hone and put her into my rotation.
