I picked up what is supposed to be a Bakelite Star razor to go with the Star case that came with an English Gillette. It's definitely a Star handle and baseplate, but now I'm not sure about the cap. In a nutshell, it's a peaked Bakelite cap with the numbers '1' and '2' on opposite sides as opposed to a metal cap. My first hint that something was wrong was when I put in a blade. Basically, there was almost no blade gap!
Needless to say, an attempted shave was mild to the point of ineffectual.
Anybody recognize this top cap?
Thanks...
