Point of fact: Genco's were made by Case, but only the late Genco's. The early Genco's were made by Geneva Cutlery in NY. Case eventually bought the Genco name and made razors at the NY plant for a short time before transferring operations to their Bradford PA plant. No one seems to know when the transition took place. So some Genco's were made by Case but not all.
FWIW
Peace,
Jim

Thanked: 109I just got my first. She is tiny, smiling, and in a beautiful molded set of rust colored scales. The blade cleaned up like magic and the edge came up so fine I cut my ear with her square pointed toe. I don't usually like such small blades but this one is a keeper. Toledo blade on the tang.

Mine is a Henry XX. You can see the double grind. It is about the size of my Boker King Cutter in profile, but only about half the weight.
It shaves very nice. Here it is, fingerprints and all.

Finally got my Genco cleaned up and honed (thanks to chay2k for the honing!) it shaved very well today and looking forward to possibly finding other gencos in the future.

Thanked: 24Gencos............Seems to me they we attacked by a Klingon cruiser and ZRD experimental fighter on the dark side ( actually on the lower crater plain) of planet alfa 34 several years ago and could not sustain the bombardment of proton particles emitted by both ships. Those were necessary for their sustaninance and well being. This being said, I doubt very seriously whether they ever emerged after that to be any kind of threat that would endanger the market, due to the rapid decline of alpha 34 and 35 in the last Centron, and of course, alpha 36.

Gencos are GREAT (after a pile of honing!)
"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

I have a Genco Easy Aces that shaves beautifully. It holds an edge and is a very good shaver. It's in my weekly rotation.
