    Default Genco Master Barber

    I have a thing for these since getting my first Seneca Chief which was a great shave for me even as a relative newbie. I thought this would be a good addition to the collection and it is in nearly pristine condition with the original box too.

    Nice razor. Looks little-used!

    That is a clean looking razor you have there.
    Maybe your two is the start of a Genco collection.

    That's some extra-sweet New York steel, congratulations.

    Very nice. I always keep my eyes open for Gencos because the ones that I have and had have always been fantastic shavers. They take and hold an edge with the best of them. They seem to be underrated quite a bit because I see them going for fairly cheap and I am always happy to pick them up when I see it. I always see them with little to no hone wear which just makes me believe even more about the edge capability of these razors. Treat it well and it will treat you well.

    +1 to the secret Genco edge.
    I have a MasterBarber as well and find it takes and keeps an edge every bit as keenly as Solingen steel, which I also love.
    Nice blade, looks brand new!
