Parthenon Razor - adjustable for superb shaving comfort

This is a quote from the first paragraph on the kickstarter page,

"Parthenon uses one double edge blade, and the curved blade allows you to have a close shave while protecting your skin. The entire rest of the razor is constructed from brass. "

What that means to me is, besides the blade the rest is brass. But I guess it could mean something else.

Just backed it for the razor and 50 Feathers. A brass, TTO adjustable. Can't ask for more.

Well lets just say that 90% of the razor is brass and 10% zinc. I contacted yesterday the person that runs the KS and I guess he contacted the designer with my question and send me the reply. Considering only the blade tray being zinc and doesn't get much beating I might jump and order one, but isn't the blade tray also 1 piece together with the safety bars and safety bars do get beating. I'll sleep on it and see what I decide.

Here is my message to him:

Hi, the project looks nice and wishing you good luck with it. I would like to know if the whole razor is made of brass or there is mix of other materials to it such as zinc, stainless steel, aluminum etc.

I see that the handle is made of brass, please if you don't mind asking the manufacturer regarding all the parts of the razor if they are brass. I would like to know which other parts aren't brass and what material are they made of, thank you

His/Her's answer:

Hi, the entire structure is made of brass including handle, dials, butterfly open tops etc. except one part - blade tray which is made of zinc alloy. This part has very complicated structure, and can not be manufactured without mold.

Wow. This sounds like a good deal. The people outside of Murica are able to produce an all brass (for the most part) adjustable razor. That would be hard to do here.

Funny, but I didn't search for it.

The all brass razor looks intriguing. I really like that it's a TTO also. The only problem is I really don't need another razor, haha.

Just backed it. We'll see how it goes. If it is bad at least I got 50 feather blades LOL. I have spent $50 on worse.

Their newsletter update has something interesting. I know it’s a bit of a novelty, but it’s kind of cool for them to offer it especially if the razor is going to be passed on or a gift...... Personally, I don’t like any type of engraving or markings on the top part of my razors but there are some that might like it. Plus, it’s free!
