    Default Ontario Razors

    I realize that there were many good blade manufacturers in the U.S. and that many razors were sold under various names. I now have two Ontario razors, one says Geneva, NY and the other does not have a place of manufacture - Just an American Indian figure and "Ontario" stamped on the shank. They are both great shavers. Has anyone else had experience with this brand?

    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.

    Yes, I've wondered if they were rebranded Gencos. Either way, I really like them.
