Anybody using Genco's? They were made in the US and I understand sold to Geneva at some point. I have really enjoyed shaving with these and have found them to be not only a great shave, but easy to hone and maintain. Lynn

The reason you like them is because Genco is part of the Case family.
I have a Genco Gold Seal with yellow/gold lucite handles. I picked it up at an antique store for $20. I'm working on honing the edge and have gotten it to the point of being a decent shaver. I'll keep trying to get it just a notch better! I've only got this one but it seems to have a safe future with me!

What's nice as well is that there seems to be a fair supply of these in nice condition around. They made many different varieties also. I'll bet I have around 10 in my keeper collection. Lynn
I've got at least one or two Genco's myself and they're among my "keepers", too.
Did they make them in 6/8?
Yes they did, I honed a Geneva Pyramid 7 for Jay, Northstar, some time back.Quote:

I thought it was a great example of how we all learn things over the course of six years.
Good Job. Now everyone is going to go out and drive up the price of Gencos :)
Just doin' what I can to help out! ;) :tu
