I bought a Genco Wedge with hammered tang and no scales. It took me six months and a set of SRD ebony scales before I was able to put a final edge on this razor.
This is the first full wedge I ever dealt with and it took a refreshed edge well. I gave it a few laps on the Nani12k, the Shapt. 16k and the Nakayama Maruichi .
The shave was quite acceptable and the SRD ebony scales are a good choice for most blades.
Pics or it didn't happen :)
Sorry. Here is a pic of the razor in question. The Genco wedge.....with hammered tang and Ebony scales.
Finally, the pic......
For some reason it would not upload to the post.
If it is not attached this time, I give up.
Nice lookin razor. I have one too, but haven't honed her yet (cause she's NOS...).
BTW they are not full wedges - they are quarter hollows. Reminds me of the Case Red Imp 132 "wedge." You'll know it if you hone a full wedge, because the entire side of the razor will touch the hone (i.e. there will not be a bevel and a band of hone wear at the spine - the whole side will be the bevel/hone wear).
Genco had many different models of razor and here are just a few of them:
GENCO SUREEDGE
" HENRYS X
" REDCROSS
" FLUID STEEL
" B2
ETC. and the one pictured above is a GENCO WEDGE
Just for clarification, Genco named this model - WEDGE -
Holli is right, it's a 1/4 hollow but this model was named "WEDGE" by Genco. It is stamped on the tang and on the front scale......:)
