Geneva/Genco made good razors Hans, which model is it? It looks hollow.

Check out the Fremont, Ohio razors like Clauss, I think that you’ll find them equals.

 

A friend recently got a Le Jaguar so I thought that I’d get my pair out for the shave today in his honor. Le Jaguar was reportedly bought by Le Grelot which was then bought by Thiers-Issard. I would be nice to see some new Jags!

Hi Steve, yes it is hollow. Could be one reason why I like it. Also the steel quality seems to be really good. I have never succeeded to get a Sheffield razor that sharp as this Geneva.

The razor is nice but the box is next level.

Enjoy your shave.

Do you have extra blades for the Le Coultre, Tom?

Filly 14 Novodur, Cream and AS were AdP and a SOC did the lathering.

Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - CK6 Shave Soap, Star Jelly, Aftershave & Cologne - Space Nog
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Switchback 400 w/Omega EVO knot
Drew Dick 7/8 Damascus w/horn scales

 

That's a beautiful notched frameback Hans.

 

You have the razor that is on my wish list Steve. Awesome setup.

 

Hey Blair! Your setups are always great!

 

Thank you Joe! I don’t think I have many Swiss blades, so this is a cool piece in my collection. I am always on the look out for one with the screw that looks more like a winder for a timepiece, as I think that is a unique touch from this maker.

No. I didn’t get lucky enough to find one with the spare blade and screwdriver as part of the set.
Actually, I may have to look… I purchased a lot with 10 frameback blades a while back. There may be one hidden in there.
