Thanks esee I totally agree buddy about zamak - everything is going cheaper with faster production in general.Wilkinson razors are great, yet I think I like my $25 Wilkinson more. I have to clean her up a bit before I can be sure.

Have you ever tried a vintage super-speed? you can get them for like $10. They shave great and they are all brass. The only thing worse than plastic is Zamak. Some people are paying upwards of $60 for a Zamak razor, so I guess you're not doing too bad with plastic. Your $7 plastic Wilkinson razor will probably outlast many Zamak razors, and she probably shaves better than most of those overpriced Zamak razors as well. So enjoy your new favorite toy.
I have quite a few Gillette Techs , a few antique mini 4-piece brass travel ones and one Slim adjustable M3 - 1967 - I have a lot of Chinese razors because the decent vintage Gillettes go for £300-£500 in the UK just for the common ones; I had to import my '67 one and a Schick Krona from America !
A good Superspeed here is $60-$70 - Rip Off Britain !
