Tell me what I've got (part 2, Safety Razors)

see part 1 in Straight razors

In the box of goodies were a couple DEs and some SEs. In addition to knowing nothing about straights, I know nothing about single edges.

First:
A Travel Tech and a Black Handle Super Speed.

No questions here, just showing off

Second:
Front: Back is marked STAR, inside STAR Made in USA (no blades)
Back Left: Valet Auto Strop Model C (no strop or blades)
Back Right: Keen Kutter Junior (one blade in razor)


So what can you tell me about the single edges? I think this is the model of Autostrop that I've seen where you can make blades by clipping a regular single edge blade but i'm not sure? Will the Star take normal single edge blades (I don't have any right now to try). If it does is this some cheap knockoff of a Gem or Everready, or is it worth giving it a whirl. Is it worth trying to find the blades for the Keen Kutter?

check out part 3 (in the brush section).

Thanks

i wish i had a neighbor with a bunch of shaving stuff they wanted to offload

The star is a 1912 version like the Gem or the Ever Ready and they're just as good at those brands, it'll be awesome. Use Ted Pella blades, the stainless coated ones, and you're all set.

The Valet Autostrop is a really great shaver. You have to remove the spine from a single edge blade, which is easily done.
