Thanked: 1Is this a Genco ?
I'm a newb who just aquired this razor from Larry at Whipped Dog, one of his sight unseens. i asked for something other than black handle and he sent me this beauty
So being the inquisitive history nerd I am I was wondering if anybody could tell me what it is? There are no markings other than two vertical etchings on each side right by the heel shown below. After searching around threads I think I lucked out and found a Genco thread and there was a picture showing the same two markings and the pins seem to be of the same style, further searching led me to the Genco Pura thread and everything to my newb eyes makes it look like a Genco. BTW the case it came with says Genco head barber but that could just be a mismatched case I suppose. Also if this is a genco does anybody know if the model is "head barber", also possible years this could be from. The blade seems to be just under 5/8, closed and folded it's 6 1/2. The white piece in the last picture looks like bakelite to me. Only two shaves in but so far (knock on wood) only a couple nicks, it 's a great shaver so no matter what it is I'm happy !
Thanks for any help.
