Why the description by the image says the handle is metal if bellow it says: The razor is designed with the double edge blade and " plastic" handle?

The handle is a hollow plastic tube with a metal tighting rod that runs through it

No clue. The handle is metal however. It looks good and feels good, but is crap. Used German razors just to make sure it is not the razors that are bad.

That's a good question. Perhaps they are hoping no one reads that far. Mine has a plastic handle; however, I do have a handle from a broken razor that may fit, so maybe I can salvage something out of it. Should have known to be more careful when looking at an 87-cent razor.

I have no clue. My friend ordered the same thing and he got a metal handle one but when i ordered, I got a plastic one.

Unless they've changed the product, I suspect it means that the handle can be replaced with a plastic replacement. Probably in case of damage. The one I purchased is a metal handle, head, and handle cap (screws onto the opposite end of the handle from the head). The only complaint I have is that the handle cap keeps vibrating loose when I tap out the hair, but that could easily be resolved with application of super glue.

I'm not sure witch handle you are talking about. but this razor has a very nice handle on it.

The one I have is all metal for the arm and grip. The arm is aluminum and the blade is stainless. It looks like it is painted. Has held up good over the last year.

The holder is designed to hold a standard safety razor model and not necessarily a new type razor

It's not made from stainless steel. Chrome plated. Very solid. This is a life time razor. I will never go back to multi blade razors. Very solid unit.

The blade is medal but the handle is PVC plastic. Great for display but I wouldn't swing it around out of fear that the blade would separate from the handle.

I can only answer regarding the razor that I received, but my razor is 100% metal.

Then this is not the product you need. This is a disposable razor and the blade and handle is a single unit.

It is chrome plated. I'm not sure what the base metal is but it is a heafty well built excellent razor that is well balanced. Its very easy to keep clean.

Based on the Mason Pearson web site http://www.masonpearson.com/why.html I believe the handle is plastic. They say "The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold. This handle was developed from the original wooden design which we continue to make in small quantities.". It may be plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap or plasticy. The handle is just the right weight and has a very nice feel.

No, the blades have two plastic pivots. The razor has a button that expands two little arms. when released they contract and latch onto the pivots on the blades securing the blade to the razor.

The material around the blade is metal where as the other is plastic. Our older plastic model failed around the area where it stops the blade from spinning around

Two of us took it apart and looked (and felt) very closely. The sharpener itself is a metal blade attached--with a tiny metal screw--to silver-colored plastic. Hope this clears that up! It seems sturdy, works well, and keeps the shavings in place until you WANT to empty it.

From my research, it appears that the new product that Norelco has started selling, and that everyone hates, is made of plastic rather than metal and results in a much less smooth shave. I haven't purchased my replacement head yet as I'm still trying to decide what to buy but am leaning towards the more expensive, older version just based on everyone's comments. You should be able to find the expensive, older model for probably ½ this price, even on Amazon.

The Handle is NOT Metal, but it is black plastic with a thin veneer of aluminum paint that makes it appear as if it is aluminum.

The handle is metal. The tines (tynes??) are metal. The red thing at the bottom that fits on the handle and holds the tines is plastic.

No it's not. It's a 3 piece razor. Quality is awesome, shaved my beard off today with it. 1 week of growth, came off like nothing.
