I have no clue. I ended up buying the industrial strength $60 ice shaver that has not failed me once. This item was a cheapo and I wish I had found my other one first. It's all stainless steel. I'm sorry I couldn't help more but you may try calling the manufacturer.

Jason, yes it is stainless steel. The handle does have two plastic parts where your fingers touch the handle to prevent heat transfer.

As far as I know it is. It has the Merkur logo engraved into the base of the handle; came in a Merkur box and came with a Merkur blade included. Although all those things don't guarantee it is made in Germany, I'd bet the razor is definately a Merkur product.

These razors are made by RiMei in China. The merchants all put their name in the ad. Mine came from "Silver Tone" for $2.58. You really can't go wrong. The very same razor sold with a box is over $6. The merchants are all eager to please. I used mine today for the first time. It comes with one blade. The razor and the blade were completely satisfactory. Go for it.

They said it was stainless in the description. Other than that I don't know.

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

I do not remember. I so disliked this razor that I sent it back after three weeks. After shopping around I wound up buying a Whal instead that offered free blades every 18 months for life.

The razor is made in India. When combined with the right blade this razor will give you a comfortable shave time after time. I use a shaving soap instead of a shaving cream. The shaving soap doesn't dry out and it cuts down on razor burn. As for what it is made of, I don't know.

No, it is stainless however and very easy to clean. This is a good quality stainless, not a cheapie.

I would not be concerned about the razor rusting. I would advise getting high quality blades such as persona so the blade does not rust. The blades are available online at Amazon or at Sally's.

No, it's stainless steel. After pondering over my answer I decided I could be mistaken. I disassembled my razor and upon examination I discovered the middle section of razor looks to be zinc die cast. I'am a machinist and have worked with die cast. The other sections could possibly be stainless . But my guess is, if not stainless, it is some sort of non ferrous material, i.e. zinc, brass, aluminum, copper, nickel, that has a high quality chrome or nickel plating which would make it rust and corrosion resistant. Hope this was helpful.

I believe it was actually stainless steel, but it was a gift to my dad so I'm not sure. Sorry I couldn't give a definite answer.

No. It is a brushed finish. I think aluminum or brushed steel. It does look like it is stainless steel.

Yes it is, sorry about the delayed response. I will sell it to you for $28 shipped to you. It was used 10 times to allow my face to adapt to the new razor, but honestly I can lather up and shave with a blade faster. I shave every other day because of sensitive skin, so it may work better daily. Good luck with your search.

No. It is Carbon Steel. However, it does have a good blade and handles nicely.

None of the razor is made of plastic that I'm aware of. I threw it out so can't look at it now. I would not buy this.. really. The hinges were cheaply made and or assembled. For what I paid I would expect it to last at least 5 - 10 years.
