Starling SE

Today I received the PAA Starling SE razor. It is part of a pass around at The Original Safety 2 shaving forum. I will be using it over the next week, starting tomorrow. It has two base plates: one open comb, and one safety bar. It takes a Gem type single edge blade. I will be using the Gem Blue Star SE blade.
