    The Star has a light Head ( may well be aluminum) but handle is heavy, put a blade in it and looks to have a wide blade gap , will shave with it in the morning, could be a great shaver.
    Gorgo, what did you mean by it is a sleeper? If the term sleeper is as I'd use on a car, i'm gonna love this razor
    cleaned up the other razors and they look fantastic

    The Star is in the general neighborhood of the pre-war Tech, relatively mild, pretty efficient if you keep the proper angle. I think they're great.

    If it's the aluminum Silver Star razor, at least with an aluminum handle, it is a fantastic shaver despite the lightness. I often wish I hadn't got rid of mine just for the handle.

    Head is Aluminum, Handle is Brass
    Shave with Star with a Astra SP blade this morning and got a BBS with 2 pass shave +light touch up, I'd equal it to my Slim @7
    Tempted to open and use Old Spice soap, it would be a nice trip down memory lane but once opened Id have to continue to use it or lose it
