Very close-n-smooth today. Spectacular and pleasantly audible result from the Star.
Well pleased!!!
A fascinating insight Marco and thank you very much for sharing.Thank you Wayne. The Razor is vintage. It is made in the US, probably around 1940. It is called a Krect Slant.
It is a torsion slant, relative mild, forgiving but still quite efficent.
What's makes it special is the connection handle to head. There is no thread or screw. The topcap has a kind of hook that goes through a slot in the baseplate and fits into a counterpart on top of the handle. When assembled without blade all parts are relative loose. With a blade loaded, the hole connection gets under tension because of the thickness of the blade. Ingenious solution IMO. Here som pictures.
Kind Regards
Marco
