Has anyone else had experience with this brand?

    have not seen these before... If they shave great, that is awesome. Too bad they are not Ontario CANADA. :P

    I heard some good things about'em, which is not surprising since they're Genco's neighbors lol. According to Uniclectica, they're still around

    We're America's funny hat.
    We beat you in 1812 how about that?
    We burn't your white house just for sport
    and you think you got us back by burning York?
    We are right next door not very far
    and now our dollars just about par
    We like to squabble, spit and spat
    but if they mess with either of us; we'll squish em flat!

    I've been watching that show on the History channel about the ice road truckers and I just get the biggest kick out of listening to those accents. Especially when they're cursing.

    I recently acquired an Ontario razor from a website that said it was a Geneva Cutlery razor. Since the blade is in very good condition and it's either a half or quarter hollow I decided to keep it. It took a sharp edge although I'll need to shave with it a time or two more.

    Default razor made in ontario canada

    Speaking of razors made in Ontario, Canada I stumbled upon a razor at a local antique store that was made in Chatham, Ontario. The blade looked clean, no rust and the scales were good, no cracks or anything. the guy was asking $30 so I figure I can get it for $20 or less.
    Any thoughts?
