Here's a great Gillette 3-piece bakelite razor. Classy & so very retro. I like the light weight and great color. Enjoy...

Very cool!
Does the head thread into bakelite or is there a metal insert in the handle?

The Merkur 1904 is a Gillette copy as well
True and it's and excellent copy too. My go to razor.
I definitely wouldn't call that a replica. They look nothing alike. The only similarity is the material used for the guard and the handle. Bakelite was used in both cases because it's a durable plastic. Very, very hard. Not much give.
