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.

First Batch of Green TNNSER 3Ds

The first 10 TNNSERS came off the printer today. Here they are in a cup ready to be processed and assembled. They all needed a lot of detailing, filing, sanding, ... The first step was to detail each head so they would go together. Then I joined the head to the handle with a nut and screw

Here they are after I finished assembling each razor. 

 At this point I took a break and the wife and I went to Applebee's for National Cheeseburger Day. After returning, I finished off the assembly portion.

 Ten TNNSERs in a box.

Here they are all lined up ready for the next step. I make sure each razor will take a blade easily. I had to do some more finish work on each razor. 

This one has been completed.

Now I have to package each one and get it ready for shipping.
