Found this straight this weekend. Its in pretty good shape and should clean up nicely, i would think.
Too bad it has a spiked toe...hate those.

Great find! :tu:tu Love these antique shop finds and this is a good one. There are some here that would call that point a spike, but I call it a square point. To me, a spike point is a square point where the cutting edge is further away from the tang than the cutting edge of the toe. If you don't mind modifying the blade you can always round off the tip on your hones. A lot of Barbers would do that and still do with their shavettes.
I found a Marsh and Sheppard yesterday that I would call a spike. Hope to have pics up later.
Good luck with you Easy Aces!
I want an Easy Aces. I like Geneva/Genco razors generally and have a real yearning for an Easy Aces.
Lovely. I've wanted one of these for a long time.
There is one in the SRDB already, unfortunately, but yours looks just as nice.

Well, i am cleaning it up as we speak and outside of a bit of pin-tightening required, it is looking pretty darn great.
Thanks,

all I can say is WOWZER :dropjaw: Its boooooooooootiful
Just hone it dull . . .
Nice razor.This razor is on my most wanted list! Looks like its time to find time to make my rounds to all my Antique haunts. :D
Very nice razor!!!! It's good to see a great razor like that going to someone who will use it, and no longer collecting dust on a shelf. Enjoy.
That looks way better than mine when I got it. I had to send it to Max for some magic.... and you all know what Max can do to a razor.....

Yeah, Max is something else, isnt he.
Ive been tossing around the idea, of sending him some work.
Thanks,

Nice, nice score Mac. I was gonna say, clean up?? Looks really sweet to me as-is. I'm not a Genco guy per se, but the Easy Aces has a grind and sense of style that I've always liked very much, it's high on my someday list. :tuQuote:
