Kampfe Star Razors

The following table contains information to identify a Kampfe Star razor.
The columns and their meaning (move mouse over images to zoom in):

• Model — The model number. It has three parts
  1. It starts with “KS” (short for Kampfe Star)
  2. followed by the earliest year the model could have been made (based on patents, awards and features of the razor)
  3. and finally a single digit number to distinguish between razors with the same earliest year.
     Those numbers were (mostly) chosen to keep the Hazelcorn model numbers in the right order if possible and don't mean one model was earlier than the next one.
