Kampfe Star Arrives


From: 

A Safety Razor Compendium: The Book

By Robert K. Waits
1919 - Star No. 1Kampfe Bros., Inc.  "Old Reliable Star." In leatherette case lined with purple velvet. Slots for two wedge blades. Nickel-plated brass razor frame, heavy metal combination handle and hand stropper. $2 with one blade. $3 with two wedge blades. L-W, p. 107.
Here it is, right out of the box. It is pretty clean considering its age. This is the 1919 Star No. 1.









First stop is my sonic cleaner.


It is clean and ready for service. This is a very nice razor. I found out that I do have a stropping attachment that will fit this handle. However, I won't be using it on this handle because it has its own handle. Anyhow, here it is.
