I seriously doubt that handle is ZAMAK. Who currently makes ZAMAK handles? They are usually turned brass.

A lovely condition cased open comb Hoffritz travel razor.
Man, that is gorgeous Richard!! - That is the razor that Agent Gibbs inherited from his dad!
Wow, you guys are serious! I feel the syndrome coming on. 3 razors so far, dollar store special, Merkur Progress, and a DE86 with rubber handle is on it's way. Really want to try some old stuff though. I'm eyeballing some old Gillettes with the thin heads, that seems very appealing compared to today's beefy heads.
I received this 2 days ago. It is the Muhle R95 and Muhle stand.
Found a case for my floating head. Its not perfect, but neither is the razor. They compliment each other well.
My 1950s Flare Tip Rocket arrived today from Razor Emporium. I can't wait to have my first shave with it 
Came in from the Bay today. Ball End Tech with triangle guard. Haven’t cleaned it up yet but looks good.
Look what I've got. You might think this is a Rocket, but no, it is a Gillette "500" (I know, I know, they are the same) It came from France, that's why it is a "500". All brass, nickel plated. Weight is 70g, according to my scales. Has the patent number on the bottom plate, so post 1955. Decent condition, it was an auction and I won it at a pretty low price.
British Rhodium plated Gen 3 Aristocrat - some brassing at the safety bar, some scratches and dings but a fair user grade and mechanically sound.
I got a GEM featherweight in great condition yesterday, as well as a Stubby Shave Meister razor off of ebay. I got the latter because Geofatboy made a video about the Chubby razor, which is the same thing, rebadged, and at three times the price. Average quality zamak head, stainless steel handle (303), plus 50 silver Star blades, for 19 bucks. Cute little thing.

Got this Old Type today. I used to have a much rattier looking one, but I PIFed it off and bought a Single Ring. I missed the ball end handle, though, so I bought a new one.
The 500's are one of my top 3 favorites for a smooth efficient shave. Congratulations!
Indeed. I was quite surprised, the exposure and the gap are bigger than on any Super-speed or Rocket I have seen.
Mail call. No introduction needed. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. Showing me all the wonderful razors! Making me buy my own!
Savages. I love it.

Had to pick up a Karve razor. OC D plate with 3.25in handle... Beautiful and well built. 
After 5 weeks, my Homelike Shaving Colibri arrived. Faster delivery than I expected and it is everything I thought it would be.

How are you liking it so far? I recieved mine a few weeks ago and it's quickly becoming my favourite razor (and I have a lot of razors). Easy to use, no drama, nicely weighted, efficient smooth shave.

Got a pre-war Tech today.
This is another one where I wanted a nicer version of something I already had, except this time I'm keeping the other one too. That one's got a war-time head.
