Just arrived Star 1887. Sold through A. J. Jordan Fine Cutlery. Marked The Gem on the top of the box. It came with 4 blades. 2 are minty the other 2 have been well used, but will work. This model 1887 has the blade adjustment. No blade stops. So this will be a wedge only razor in my rotation. Jaw. Drop. Gorgeous.

Only thing that would make it better, would be the blade holder to strop the blades. I will need to try and find one.

View AttachmentThe top picture was from the eBay auction. The magazine has one Schick twin blade. The middle is an E3 Schick. The third one is a G1 Eversharp-Schick. Below is after I cleaned them up. View AttachmentThe G1 has a round base, not rectangular. I had made a walnut handle yesterday for the Schick E3, so, today I was able to join the two together. View Attachment Beautiful. I was on the look out for a E head at one time to have you do that for me. I am going to find one someday!!

They are a bit to wide to fit in the razor. I will need to narrow the width down.
