Thanks for the ad Dave in KY, very nice to know that it is not mismatched. Also seeing that the ad shows a stropping attachment which was not included, but also not a big deal.

I have just picked up the Star Bar, pretty much exactly the same, which I'm about to photograph and post here.
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!

I have two of the earlier Jr. Bars with a little more lettering on the back. One came with the short wooden handle the other with a hollow 3 piece metal handle. The 3rd piece being a stripping attachment. The Jr. Bar is among my very favorite razors.
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.
