I really love this little Genco razor. I’d like to get new scales for it at some point. 5/8 seems to be a good pick for me – two of my favorite razors are around that size. Not to say something like the Koraat Moarteen isn’t nice to use, but at this point in my straight razor career I’m enjoying the nimbleness of narrow razors.
A friend of mine is interested in trying straight razors so I’ve been trying to come up with a good answer on what to get first. After my experience with this razor and the good availability of them on eBay, I told him to search and see what he can find.
