Wow it's nice to know that my vanadium has its original scales on it. Everyone's examples makes me wish that I could've gotten the pitting off of the tang. It's an amazing razor.

Thanks to Martin102 & Manah for posting those cool old catalog pages. If I'm reading it correctly the listed prices are per dozen. Since Gencos have been discovered on ebay, they would have been a great NOS investment. If only . . .
Here are my two submission for the club. A Seneca Chief and Henry XX. The Henry XX is one smooth shaver.
