The blade inserts (part that holds the razor blades are plastic) but the blade handle and the blade cover (the part stamped with Dovo) are metal?

I believe the black part is not metal. The rest is metal. I've had mine for a couple years and have yet to see any rust or tarnish on it.

No it is plastic on the cover the inner parts are metal, the neck/body/handle are metal.

I'm not sure what plated plastic is but the handle on mine appears to be stainless steel.

The arm is metal, and the cutting blade is stainless steel, which can be replaced when necessary! Just remove the three screws and you've got!

Hello. The whole thing is made of plastic, with the exception of the metal blade. It works quite well.

The blades are metal and the part that connects to the clipper is plastic with an embedded magnet

No. It's glass. There is a metal band holding the handle on but the part that isn't glass is plastic.

The model I have is all metal as far as I can tell. Still have it hoping to get it repaired. It's a quality product, just don't drop it so the handle pops out. Can't pop it back in and Merkur has no response.

The grate and the blade on the one received was metal. I don't know about other models

So, the handle is either "solid stainless steel," "metal and rubber-like plastic on one side," "metal insert on one side . . . but plastic on the other three," "metal with a rubber coating for grip," "metal," or "plastic, and very weak." Thanks, folks!

The blades are plastic. This 16" fan works very well - the best fan I have, actually.

The piece that holds the blades together is metal. he blue plastic part simply covers the top of the "screw" that holds them together. They com apart easily and go back together easily and so far are very durable.

I don't really know, I would think it is, but it only says "metal blade" on it.

The blades are not metal. I think it's possibly wood with a plastic type of covering.

It's plastic around the outside and some kind of metal for the blades. I don't know exactly what kind but it is not rusting if that's what you're worried about. I love those smaller bite size pieces - use it all the time. :-)

No, it's stainless steel. After pondering over my answer I decided I could be mistaken. I disassembled my razor and upon examination I discovered the middle section of razor looks to be zinc die cast. I'am a machinist and have worked with die cast. The other sections could possibly be stainless . But my guess is, if not stainless, it is some sort of non ferrous material, i.e. zinc, brass, aluminum, copper, nickel, that has a high quality chrome or nickel plating which would make it rust and corrosion resistant. Hope this was helpful.

Blades sit on a "domed" piece that is some type of material, feels more rubbery. There are plastic parts on the underside where the motor engages. Looks very similar to the mechanisms on all blenders but Oster (they use metal).
