Seneca Chief
Cleaned up and running!
Mouthwatering, Straightshooter.
After a failed attempt to get an Ontario like the Seneca, I finally found a similar one called the 'Heavy'. 'No idea why the name - just a std 5/8 hollow roundpoint w/ the fleur-de-li bolsters.
I won't ask how it shaves - its a Genco. 'Nuff said.

________________________________
Here are two EasyAces that shave beautifully. Gencos must be made of superior steel. I have never seen a GENCO rust-----ever................
Very nice. Custom scales or originals?
On the Rust Issue:
I only got my Genco BECAUSE it was rusty! It was so rusty that the seller on e-bay didn't know it was a Genco. They sold it according to the box it was in (Black Diamond), however; a little shot of sanding and polishing thanks to me and then more-so to Ron/Utopian brought it back to life. It is my favorite razor so far, and shaves wonderfully. I don't know how long it was rusting like that, but it withstood it well, and I'm glad it did or I A) wouldn't have it, or B) wouldn't be able to shave with it!
Here is my contribution to the Genco's. This is my Henry's XX.
It's the nicest razor I own. I haven't shaved with it yet, it's not been honed. I get the feeling though that if I took the strop to it, It would be good to go.
Enjoy!!
