Thread: Tell me what you think_3

BTW, These are my personal Razors

I am posting some pictures of some razors I think may be of interest. I am curious to know anything about these blades. They are in varying conditions and I'm sure there are things about them that I am missing.

Specifically, I am curious about: 1)quality of blade 2)potential for restoration 3)value

I understand that it may be very difficult to assess these razors by looking at pictures. I'm only looking for ballpark thoughts.

I will post a new thread for each of the razors. There's only 4 or 5.

I have no attachment or investment of any kind to these razors, so please feel free to "call crap, crap"

Thanks,

Carroll

I'm no expert, but... Genko, Geneva cutlery is said to be a good american brand. I had one under my atention and heard people here saying that it's a fine little razor.
My thoughts, only... no worth much.

genco, geneva cutlery .... made excellent razos this wone is in need of maas, sanding and polishing then a hone it will take a fair bit of work to get this into shape but once done you will enjoy it for years .... fixed oup (without replacement scales $40 or so... but search b/s/t for a better idea.

Oh my god it looks like you raided my rotaion razors. I have a Genco Expert and I love it.

Needs a bit of work but that is a very nice razor.

It is a great brand but I personally would not pay more than $5 for that one because of the poor condition. To get it to shave you will have to remove the nick, and to get it to look good will take a lot of work.

I really appreciate everyone's advice so far. It looks like I have a few razors that I can use to practice some restoration. I certainly don't plan on selling them, I just wanted to make sure that none of them were worth sending to someone more experienced to be restored rather than using them to learn from.

Again, thanks for the help.
