I thought I had seen a post about a Star safety that had a handle that was spring loaded? Does this sound familiar? I found one in a store and I didn't buy it at the time, but it looked cool so I'm gonna go swoop it up later and post some pics. Can anyone whelp with info or a past link?

I used to love reading the classified ads in Popular Science and Popular Mechanics in the 1950s, and I just kept on reading page after page of them just now from Google.
Thanks for the recollection!

Ah, that's not the correct handle. It belongs to some other razor.
I believe that handle is supposed to spin, for rinsing or something. I'll try to look it up.

So if you twist the handle it put it under tension, there is a button on bottom you press in and the top spins.

Yes, its got a Gillette head on it
Oh! That's a different kind of "spring loaded" altogether! Yeah, that's an aftermarket handle that spins the head to dry the blade. I think it was called something like the Klenz-o-Matic. I'll see if I can turn up a reference.
Yes, it's called a Whirly.
From wait's compendium... "Stair Mfg. Co. (Carlyle B. Stair), Chicago, Illinois. Gillette type, wind-up spring in handle spins head to dry. U.S. Patent No. 1600831, 21 Sep 1926, filed 17 Dec 1924, Carl Eugen Lingren, Stockholm, Sweden & Georg Karl Vilhelm Johanson, Skarsatra, Sweden. Also U.S. Patent No. 2044189, 16 Jun 1936, filed 19 Nov 1934, Carlyle B. Stair, Downers Grove, Illinois."

Ah, I see. It says "Stair" on it, not "Star", right?
