Thread: ID: Six-Point Star Symbol

No offense intended Someone might want to buy it for "Uncle John" (because he's a Mason, Lion, etc. and then find out, "This really isn't a "fill in the blank" razor".

It is a nice razor

I completely agree. I tried to include "I think" along with a few question marks to convey the uncertainty, but it's always good to address it again here.

Thanks,

Speaking as a freemason, the star has nothing to do with the Masonic lodge. The Eastern Star, sure, but not Masonry.

Nice razor none the less.

True... but the "Star of David" or the six pointed star has nothing to do with either. The Order of the Eastern Star" has as its symbol the 5 pointed star.

This is the basic reason that I made the encouragement regarding not putting emphases that this razor had Masonic emblems...

And again, cool razor... back to BST

That's interesting. I found a bazillion sources all over the internet with photos that show the six-point star as a masonic symbol, often with the letter G inside.

Here is one from the SRP forum.

I am so confused now...

PS: I marked the razor temporarily unavailable until this mystery of the six-point star is solved.
