Thread: Picking the collective brain...

Often times no marking as to maker or origin is not a good sign as to quality however, not always, and if the razor gives you a good shave, holds the edge and hones up well you know it's quality.

Assuming it's a quality piece, my guess is it was made for some retailer by some generic maker and there's probably some significance to the stars. That's what you have to figure out.

Should be a clear night here, maybe I'll stare up at the heavens and look for those 3 stars.

There are three stars in Orion's belt (I think) . I wonder if there was an Orion Cutlery Co. .

3 star General?

It's a communist razor, they've skipped on the hammer and the sickle in order to infiltrate easier the capitalist market.

An Ode to Stimpy's Stars:

Starkle, starkle little twink
What the heck you are, I think?
Up above, or by my sink
You've got no name
You've got no link
Starkle, starkle little twink
I hope you shave
And just don't stink.
