Star DE 3 pc
I acquired a Star DE 3 pc a few days back(my first 3 pc) from another memeber here.Rather pretty- 95%+ intact ,gold plating a little thin on the top cap center. Light weight,handle is nicely checked,stays secure in wet hands.The performance is nice,mild.I think in 5 shaves I have had 1 tiny nick when I hurried.Others have opined on various forums the Star DE is a bit more aggressive than the equivalent Gillette Tech razor.
With this razor I think you would have to work at it to cut yourself.By the same token I think you would have to work to get a BBS shave.I've had some DFS with the razor,almost BBS.But I find myself reaching for it more often than my other DE razors.
Stars do not command the prices that Gillettes do.But they shave damn good.If you don't have one pick one up!
