From the notch in the shank it must have been a safety razor. I mean it had a guard that snapped on and swings out of the way to shave. When in place it covers the sharp edge.
Yep, looks like a Genco "Safedge" after some searching... Doubt I'll ever come across an original cover.
Gasp! (holding chest)! It has the oft-spoken of, highly elusive, ne're seen before bottle opener!!
Great, another Genco that I have to find in good condition to add to my growing collection.
Picked these up over the weekend. One looks to be unused. The other I think had some modification. Genesee Cutlery, not Genco but I believe they are related. If anyone has info on them I'd appreciate it. Attachment 174429Attachment 174428
Please tell me the bottom razor in the second photo is not a Spanish point. That would be a sweet one'Quote:

Toe sticks out only slightly. Not sure if it came that way or someone modified it. The thing is, they look NOS.
Close up. Sorry for the poor pic quality. Attachment 174433
Yes, they sure do look NOS. You are a lucky bugger and Gencos are great shavers to boot.Quote:

I think you did well. It's pretty hard to find a decent vintage razor in good shape. Eventually you get lucky. My first was pretty ugly. I still have it and it shaves really well. It won't win beauty contests but I don't care. It's my first and it does just fine.
Clean it up. Hone it and love it. :D
