    I'm curious if Chris would take them on, is the head Zamak or brass? Looks like it could be brass. FWIW the bottom plate looks identical to the Cooper Monobilt, I wonder if you all think the Segal is the better shaver? I think I do prefer the Segal.

    I'm not sure either. Just a guess, I think the cap might be Zamak, but the base seems heavier, maybe just regular steel, not sure tho.

    I'm gonna guess the bottom plate is brass, top cap no idea but it does seem a different material.

    I have one coming now, but it has a missing tooth. I can live with that.
