In the short amount of time I have been shaving with a straight, I have had the pleasure of acquiring a few Genco's. I have a fluid steel and a Gold Seal. both shave very well, but I started wondering about em.

I know how long Genco operated and so forth, but I was wondering if the different "brands" of Genco had different metallurgical properties. Obviously one has a gold wash, and one is blued, but are the differences more than skin deep.
