        The Rick Charles Project.

        This one is a 4/8" Hollow Ground Genco, dressed in faux Ivory Bakelite scales. Genco Razors were made by Geneva Cutlery Co., in Geneva, New York. By 1912, they were the the largest US manufacturer of razors. They used the "GENCO" trademark from 1902-1935.

        This is the straight I did for our man Rick Charles. The full restore, from start to finish, as well as a really cool story behind it, can be seen here: http://www.snuson.com/forum/showthre...-.-.-.-(Part-1-)

        Not For Sale!

          I swear Owens, even though I haven't shaved with it in about a week, I've probably picked it up and looked at it 10 times, lol. Thanks again brother ;-)

                        You need a heavy blade for that. The razor will be ruined by the time you get the limbs off. Joints are tough on a delicate blade.......uhhhh.....

                        Nevermind.

                        Nice work Owens!

                            I finally got around to digging out the trunk to find the razor I would like you to do.





                            This is my Great Grandfathers Odd Fellows razor. It's in pretty good shape and I have the original box. Send me a PM with a price to restore it.
