Thread: old dutch

enybody heard of ( old dutch ) made in NY i picked up three blades and one has old dutch on the tang ? thanks

Old Dutch is a model of razor made by Genco, which was located in Geneva NY. Lots of info on SRP available with a search. Here is a link to one of our clubs: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...enco-pura.html

Abdul, if that's a Genco Old Dutch, you're a lucky man.

yep i hope it is here are some pics i have cleaned it up and waiting to make some scales the other razor i picked up with the old dutch i have never heard of this one either ?

i found some old butterfly knife scales,not sure it works ? thanks

They look like they'd really throw the balance out. Try it and see.

Wiss is best known for sewing scissors. Didn't know they made razors too. Cool finds! I really like the shape of that Genco blade.

ya you were rite the balance was crap so i had some scales i was making for a eye witness and tryed them insted

the balance was crap so i was making scales for my eye witness and tryed them on this much beter i think ? thanks for the help...

I have an Genco Old Dutch and it was the first razor that I restored and honed. I have to say that so far it seems to hold an edge really well. It took me alot of work to get the edge since it was my first honing, but it is working quite well.
