Here is a thread devoted to the Star 100/PAL/ Personna DE razor, the first DE razor that The American Safety Razor Company ever released.
A competitively priced razor with great looks, it seems to have been positioned to compete directly with the great Gillette Tech. Introduced in 1946 and produced till the very early 60's the Star/PAL gave the Tech a run for it's money and was poplular in the US and the UK.
They are lovely shavers, some saying that they find them preferable to the mighty Tech!
So, come one, come all, owners of any version of the Star 100 and PAL DE razor. Show off your Stars, post shaves with them, and chat. Any new information on the type welcomed.
I will start things off. Here's my lovely little English made PAL aluminium lightweight from the 1950's. A lovely smooth and efficient little shaver!
