Kabeso Razor Works No. 29 Barbers Favourite Razor from hoglahoo:

OK, here's my Barber's Only blade. Check out the scales from Traveller (Gary). Obviously, the blade job is not Gary's but I couldn't wait to put the scales on. Notice that each side is a different color, awesome aren't they.

Fred

Nice Fred! I've GOT to get something from Gary soon.....lol.......

Which I bought from drfred. It was the first straight razor that shaved hair off my face. Be good to her!

Hi, here is my
Genco Head Barber, Geneva, N.Y, U.S.A (on tang) Classified (on monkey tail)
What does the Classified marking mean?

come on gentlemen step right up, step right up. A troubling situation has arrived in the razor club and that is the use of thumbnail pictures. I know that some of you old timers still remember when the razor clubs were a thing of beauty! with large glossy pictures of razors and we viewed until our hearts content. but those days are through it would seem. I beseech all the members of the razor clubs to take the poll in the general section and vote to restore large pictures to our beloved razor clubs. It is up to us gent and together we can restore these clubs to there former glory!!!!!!

I really like those John Barber razors with the square and compass in them. Was that a trademark of the company or a sign of a higher calling?

I always thought this thread was for Genco
I thought village = NYC, Barber = what most Genco models were called
Ooops!

The shank has a pattern of XXXX on both sides and the number 65 and the name EATON on one side, and KRUSIUS BROTHERS on the other.

does it look like this? maybe in a bit better shape though eh. i just found this one at a local antique store. my first used buy so far. ha! (sorry for the dark pic)
