    Seconded.


    So does the queen of the plain-jane, reliable, inexpensive American shavers deserve a razor club? I think so.

    Here are my three excellent Genco razors. Sorry about the blurry pic.


    1. Genco Registered.
    2. Genco Master Barber.
    3. Genco Army & Navy.

    I got each of them for less than $10, shipped.


    Here's my, probably incomplete, list of Genco models:

    Army & Navy
    B-2?
    Blue Steel
    De Roma
    Easy Aces
    Expert
    Fluid Steel
    Forgemark
    Gold Seal
    Grant
    Head Barber
    Heavy
    Henry's Triumph
    Henry's X
    Henry's XX
    Master Barber
    Master Barber Jr.
    Nubak
    Old Dutch
    President
    Red Cross
    Registered
    Safedge
    Seneca Chief
    Tiger
    Vanadium
    Washington
    Wedge
    #35



    I hope to one day have a complete collection, but as a bit of a cheapskate, I'm not holding my breath.

    Here is a recycled picture of my Genco De Roma. It is a cute little razor, very hollow, a very sweet shaver. Gencos rock!

    Here's a few of my Genco's. They are both "Henry's Triumph".

    Name: Henry's triumph photos 003.jpg Views: 5354 Size: 56.4 KB

    The little one is about 5/8 and the big-un is about 6/8. I saved the gold wash on the little guy, but the big dude didn't fare so well.

    Name: Henry's triumph photos 008.jpg Views: 5117 Size: 43.5 KB

    They both shave equally well, but I tend to use the larger square point more, since I am reluctant to wear off the gold wash.

    Geneva Convention is a pretty clever name, I got "Genco Pura" from The Godfather. It was the name of Don Vito's olive oil company.

    That's just a list of Genco models I've seen on ebay, I've only got four of them.

    Ahhhh ok , a man after my own heart tho . I'm no David Bailey so I'll try and get my lovely wife to take a picture of my little Geneva Convention and I'll post them up .

    Looks like I'll have competition on ebay now LOL
    If I see you bidding I'll leave it be .

    Cheers Garry
