I hope to one day have a complete collection, but as a bit of a cheapskate, I'm not holding my breath.Last edited by shuredgefan; 03-09-2009 at 08:37 PM.

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".
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.
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.CrazyCloud likes this.

The Genco plant in Geneva was the largest in the world at one time making several thousand razors a day! Read more here:
