Genco Straight Razors
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.

Yes they did, I honed a Geneva Pyramid 7 for Jay, Northstar, some time back.

Ha Ha Ha.
So I really debated resurrecting this thread. I came across it running a search on google to find more Gencos (I really like my Gold Seal).
I thought it was a great example of how we all learn things over the course of six years.
