This Genco delivered my very first straight razor shave, so it holds a special place in the rotation..and it always performs.
Ice Blue AV... A great summer AS!
FYI....
The Grand piano was made by my Uncle Elnor in Fishguard, Wales expressly for me near 60 years ago.. when I was just a little shaver. He was a highly skilled cabinet maker, and for some unknown reason, he loved the "little Yank"... This means alot to me!
