    I have a Genco Wedge. Takes and holds a great edge and shaves beautifully. I wouldn't hesitate at all to own another Genco if the opportunity arises.

    I have a few & love 'em. I have a near mint/near mint Easy Aces.
    Genco started in 1916 under the Geneva Co & went on until 1935. In 1936 W.R. Case & Sons bought them out. I believe they continued to use the Genco name until 1965 according to Goins. I also have a near mint/mint Cases Aces.

    One of my first razor's was a Genco "easy cutter" round nose. Great edge, minimum hone wear, shaves super smooth. As other's have said, undervalued, not underappreciated!

    Steve, ,those are gorgeous btw!

    I've had two, sold to downsize my rotation, both wonderful razors and held an edge nicely.
