Star, 1920's gem handled , DE! ..?

[Alexbel^]

On the way to me is a new purchase . A star three piece DE . It has that same 6 sided beveling in, with the little notches up the handle, with what looks like a mild shaving DE head .

Does any one else have one ? and what are they like ??
how do they shave
I don't know whether I have ever seen one .

value ?
any information would be appreciated
thanks'

They're nice shavers. Nice heft, a little more aggressive than a tech, and affordable prices. Of course they vary, but they can usually be had for tech prices or less.

edit: oh, the handle you're talking about is a different one than I've used. I don't know about that one.

Thank you for the reply ,I thought they were kind of rare and interesting . Mine is gold , I'm beginning to wonder whether I payed a bit too much $17 shipped? maybe not ( I'm a procrastinator ). I thought of a Tech too , when I looked at the head, but this came out before the tech I guess . I should like it, ( built like a gem ) .
As I learn wet shaving I am leaning more , towards Gem's and Schick's .
