Thanked: 1102.for 1.. American made razors
So these are the last razors I want to sell.. Gives me 6 razors that are the ones best suited for me. I'd like to sell these together as the price I'm asking it only makes sense to pay shipping once. One is a Geneva Cutlery Pyroamid 7 5/8 with yellow/beige bolstered scales.. The scales are in really good shape with no cracks and straight.. Only thing that I tried showing in pic is front bolsters have been dented in and one side the bolster moved a fraction, it holds the blade tight for 3/4 turn then gets loose. I tried fixing with small ball peen and a punch but didn't want to break. Razor is light and quite hollow ground and will be shave ready .The blade has no pitting or rust, some water spots and edge is chip free. Tried to show it's been on a hone number of times but looks even and lots of life left. 2nd one is a Robeson (I could not find the name anywhere until seller said it's super faint on spin. It has a cool worked spine and maybe considered faux frameback. Heavier grind that I would say is 1/2.. The pics show a really cool scale pattern that are crack free and straight. Has a small barbers notch with that tiny chip in tip.. I worked that out so it would not affect razor edge.. This one is shavable but working on this super hard American steel has been my toughest home test to date.. really a cool looking razor. I am going to spend some time tomorrow on the LeGrelot to give it a nice sharp edge and I'll try to get this one better than it is now... Price includes CONUS shipping.. Don't hesitate to ask any questions.. If you want to try straight razors out this combo would be great, One is shave ready and hollow ground and the other I'll work on more but would be perfect to practice stropping and honing because of the thicker blade grind . Price for both is just $36.00.. thanks for looking.. And sorry for the long,long post..

Thanked: 110Just to clarify something in above post. When I said that it's perfect for new shavers because on is shave ready and the other you can practice honing/stropping, etc.. These will both be ready to ehe n received and matter of fact the robeson is not too bad but it certainly is not at it's optimim.. I will work on this one tomorrow and I should get it better.. If it sounded like it is just a practice razor that's far from true.. I'll get it best i can and update when I am done.. Thank you

Thanked: 7Does anyone know what the SS engraving means?
I have of these Genevas that I really like btw, but I have no idea what the engraving means. Also, mine is round pointed and prefer square points.

Thanked: 110This was the 1st and only Geneva I've ever owned.. Took 2 days to get all the crap accumulation that was on this to see the brand and number. I don't know a lot about them so I can't help you.. Bet someone on here does tho.. I do know that after clean up and really not much work to the blade it really surprised me on how sharp and well it shaves..
