    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.

    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. Name: uploadfromtaptalk1406596423213.jpg Views: 120 Size: 16.2 KBName: uploadfromtaptalk1406596407991.jpg Views: 133 Size: 50.2 KB

    Please tell me the bottom razor in the second photo is not a Spanish point. That would be a sweet one'

    Toe sticks out only slightly. Not sure if it came that way or someone modified it. The thing is, they look NOS.
