Taking into account my parents longevity, with a bit of luck I could be shaving for another 3 decades, though some days I have serious doubts about that .
As much as I like my ATT H2, nothing compares to the 2011 R41 so I'm putting away spares for the future.
Apart from obvious breakages, it seems that plating loss spells the death knell for Zamak razors and I'm guessing that the threaded stem is the part most likely to fail, especially from the constant abrasion from screwing the handle on and off. I wonder if a stainless handle might aggravate that risk.
Has anyone real world experience of "life expectancy" of the modern Zamak razor?
