Hey Grassy! Good eye on the stropping attachment, seeing it in the ad from Dave. You're right that it won't be an issue, just cosmetic. Thanks for sharing photos of your Star Bar. Lovely looking razor! I really like the short, steel handles on some of these SE razors. The heft of these handles feels good in my hand!


Yeah GAW9576, this razor has a much simpler back, but like TobyC said, "You don't shave with the box"...and you don't shave with the back.  It's great to hear that you, Dave in KY, and Grassy like the way they shave!

Some people feel that the Jr. Bar is a mild razor but to me it seems it's an extremely well desiged razor the is very efficient without being at all harsh. It in my opinion it is also one of the most beautiful razors ever made. There are of course other razors that are as, if not slightly more beautiful but it's definitely near the top in my book. Even the ones with less writing on the back like yours are stunning.

Very cool. Looks like the steel needs a little reconditioning though. I believe Jayaruh or twhite has one of those.

Are you planning to use this to sharpen vintage blades to shave with?

That's the plan

Absolutely, a comfortable well designed razor and one of the best looking razors ever. Just to show off, here is the best looking one I ever saw, silver plated I believe.
