  "whyPlastic": "A safety razor is a metal handle, and that is where the claim stops being the whole story. The head and handle are brass, zinc alloy or stainless steel. Colored finishes are powder coat, and a clear lacquer over brass is plastic too; plating in chrome or nickel is metal and fine. The blade is the part you replace and the part nobody checks: many carry a PTFE or polymer edge coating so the first strokes glide. Blades ship in paper, a metal tin or a plastic dispenser. Cartridge razors are a plastic handle, a plastic head and a lubrication strip.",
