You would have to contact the seller or company for your first two questions. It's a good razor, well made.

Chrome plates brass handle and comb, top is zamack but plating is excellent. Very high quality handle and holder a nice touch. Had a comb issue and they replaced for free. Excellent service.

The razor is made in India. When combined with the right blade this razor will give you a comfortable shave time after time. I use a shaving soap instead of a shaving cream. The shaving soap doesn't dry out and it cuts down on razor burn. As for what it is made of, I don't know.

It was shipped to me out of Whitefish, Montana whether it is made there is another question. Yes it is chromed and made of high quality and it is comparable to the quality of the Mekur and other Euro made razors. I am glad I chose it and am highly satisfied.

I bought the chrome because I liked the shine. I ALWAYS wipe down the razor after every shave because of the foamy residue left behind. I now have 2 coworkers hooked on safety razor shaving and they love their Futur! It's 6 months old and still looks brand new, no fading on finish.

No, it is chromium-plated steel. At first it seemed too light but it has proven as reliable as my previous shaver, a Merkur.

The handle I believe is chrome plated solid brass (what almost all quality faucets are made from), and the trim plate is chrome plated steel. Almost no household items are actually solid chrome. The only plastic items were possibly some retainers on the mixing valve. This is the highest quality I've seen, especially at the price.

Hello, Two of these I bought from Amazon.com were made in Netherlands. After having heaps of different shavers in last 54 years ... (sounds ugly) this is not a tick short of being a sensational shaver. I am not paid to say that, I believe 3 weeks + of battery life and very efficient shaving system is great. I was a bit on mean side and did not pay for 3D model ... as I find 2D to be great. Strongly suggest it. Cheers, Srecko

It is chrome plated but have used one of mine for several years without any quality issues. They tend to run large so I recommend the smaller collar. They are meant as a training tool so I use mine only for this purpose. My dogs wear regular collars otherwise. Love Malinois. Very smart!

You are right , this particular razor is made of zinc alloy(the head) and not brass. We made a mistake in the earlier post as we confused with our other razor that will come out shortly, sorry for any confusion.

Seems like it is made of chrome plated brass and is made in China. Installs easy and so far...no problems. Spray handle is chrome plated plastic.

No, these razors are old. I will say in the early 80' I think was called chrome Atra and last forever. My father is 80 years old and it is the only one that he uses.

These razors are made by RiMei in China. The merchants all put their name in the ad. Mine came from "Silver Tone" for $2.58. You really can't go wrong. The very same razor sold with a box is over $6. The merchants are all eager to please. I used mine today for the first time. It comes with one blade. The razor and the blade were completely satisfactory. Go for it.

I shave in the shower as well and have kept mine on a mirror with a built-in handle mounted in the shower for years. No rust. The blades may rust, but they're so cheap I usually replace them every 2-3 days anyway.

The blades are all made in the USA - in Milford, CT. The razor is assembled in China.

Parker razors are made in India, I assume the brushes are as well the packaging on my brush didn't indicate the origin though.

I don't know where it is made, but it does a very nice job. I use it to sharpen my straight razor and am happy with it.

Can't say for certain but it does appear to be chrome and has some weight to it, also seems to be well made, I've been using it for quite a while now and it is holding up well and no bristle hair has fallen out yet. I had my doubts when I bought it because I purchased one other before buying this one (different brand) and the hair was coming out first use.

Razor is 100% English made, you cant go wrong purchasing this fine piece of craftsmanship.

The razor works well and i believe is stainless. If you are sensitive to stainless steel then you are probaby sensitive but I doubt it. The grip, however, is a bit of a problem for me because it is very slippery especially when wet.
