I like my Geneva, I think it has the Pyramid too though it’s been a while. Yours looks to be in very nice shape. Thanks, now I know what I’m shaving with today. Was actually the first one I honed and it took an edge quite readily. Congrats on the find!
Buddy… only one genco?? :D maybe it’s just me, we all have the brands we find we gravitate to, for me that’s Boker, Genco, and Imperial, I have 3+ of each because they’re all winners. Just got a new imperial today, my 3rd Chicago world’s fair distinct etch! (also like 7/8 which is wild for imperial)
Ha! Well, one so far. But I started with it and it was a good one so ya, it’d have made sense for me to pick up more. However at the time I was looking for variety and figured I had that box checked, just haven’t circled back yet. Almost did pick up another now that I think of it but sat on it too long and someone snagged it. My first Imperial is so very patiently waiting in purgatory for scales. I like my Puma a lot but it’s my only one. Hm. Ok maybe this is a pattern… Still no Shumate nor Waterville nor Ramapo though so if I was going to make a point of shopping for an American razor I’d probably lean that way. You may have been very wise specialising your collection… And nice score on that Imperial!
