Is thing just a hunk of plastic like it looks?

I've used it several times and it does not make my razor any better. I have a thick beard and nothing works as advertised.

That's what I thought when I first got it. I honestly didn't think it was worth a crap. But I was wrong. Like they say don't judge a book by its cover. Lol. Sense I bought it. I haven't yet bought another razor. I still using the same one that I bought last year. Still shaves like brand new. Its a real good buy. I recommended it to my roommate. He as well hasn't bought another razor.

Not at all. The rubber flat with just a little shave cream makes a good cleaning surface. It'll promise the world but I've found that it just helps make shaving a more pleasant experience.

It's a piece of rubber, and it cleans your razor and saves a fortune. I have bought these for friends and relatives and they all agree, it saves money. Yes it could just be a strip of rubber( albeit at the right grade) but it doesn't matter, it saves lots of money and pays for itself in no time.

I have a friend that swears by it. It is some kind of silicone rubber. The science says it should work. For me, it just wasn't worth the extra work every day to extend the use of the blade a few days. I tried different foams and gels and applying different amounts of pressure, but at about 14 days I was no longer satisfied with the blade. It was not adding months or even weeks to the life of the blade. I find it better to put a little more effort in preparing my skin for the shave. Hope this helps.

It did not get great results but surely got additional 4-5 shaves for me. I think results would vary with individual as preference for smooth shave varies. You may buy it if your expectations are tempered.

It's not plastic, its more like hard rubber. It does not feel cheap, if that's what you are asking. Unfortunately, I have not observed startlingly obvious results that others seem to have.

What it is...is that since I started using the razor pit with my pro glide blade, I'm still using one cartridge since December 8 2012. I shave 3 times a week and still on a sharp blade.

No it is made out of hard plastic in entirety. The only metal things are the locking screws. The plastic is quite thick.

Haven't looked at it in months, but from what I remember - no. Its all plastic. Not made of materials that would make it awesome. Think I have away three of them because I was so disinterested in it.

It looks like it's made of a plastic-silicone type of material...that gives it a snug fit.

It seems to be primarily metal (aluminum I'm sure) with some plastic parts.

Yes, it's plastic! And in my opinion it's slightly bigger than the picture appears.

I bought it, and it was plastic. It's def a fun unique gift, I would recommend it!

It's not metal though it looks like it. It's some kind of composite material that's heavy.

Probably. It's all plastic, except for the straps, which are sort of fabric-like.

It appears to be plastic, it does what they say. I guess you can't ask for much more for $12 bucks.

It is plastic but not a real light one it's got sum body to it! I'm pleased with it , it seems to be holding up well....

Nope, just plastic, and too flimsy at that. My dog left hers alone and it still fell apart...

No, it doesn't. It definitely feels like plastic, but it's matte and not shiny.

It looks like metal to me, but it could be plastic with a good coating over it. There are also models with lit up keyboard that are definitely plastic. The backlit keyboard models are a nice touch. I would recommend you find one of the units that have the backlit keyboard, it is very useful. Mine does not.

Yes, but just to let you know, they are look like plastic. Not sure if it is made from it.

No, it's metal. I've been using it for months and it looks like new. It's a nice looking can!
