    My RAD is frothing at the mouth!
    I may need to get a third job working nights on a corner downtown.

    But if you guys keep telling of the greatness of American razors the price will go up, and thus I'll need to spend more time in that corner!!! Shhhhhh!

    You can find Genco's and Geneva's on Ebay or the for sale forums. They are not expensive. My barber said they are barber quality which means they hold a great edge and are very reliable shave after shave. Mine can hold their own with any foreign blade at a fraction of the cost.

    In addition to the Geneva and Genco I mentioned earlier I have four Robeson Shur Edge all fine razors, two Winchesters ( I don't know who made them for Winchester) they
    are also a joy to use. I have two Red Imps made by Case (two more Red Imps but made by Luco in Germany).

    I just looked at my Razor Log. And I see I have 18 that are USA made razors. A few more if you count USA but german steel. Love me some USA made Razors. They might not be as fancy, at least mine arn't, but they sure do shave well.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    Yes, they are utilitarian. What's up with that? They work!

    Might be hard to forget you have something with a log?
    Where's the fun in THAT, Jerry?

    You got a point, Tom. But, I'm just one of those guys. Everything has a place and it must be there. Plus I got lists of everything I own if its more than just a few. Books I've read, Bills to pay monthly, Radio parts in stock, you name it. I'm just an organized SOB. Even pictures of every drawer of my toolbox. I know, I'm sick! But I never lose anything.
    And whats this utilitarian thing? That's too big of a word for this old Truckdriver.
