But when I acquired the RazoRock Heavy Duty DE razor (which is short and comes with a stainless steel handle), I really anted to see how the Mission razor with Stainless Steel handle compares with the older Mission razor with chrome plated handle. I&#8217;m not sure what the older Mission&#8217;s handle was made from. Zamak? Brass? I really don&#8217;t know. But the knurling of the stainless steel handle feels more secure in the hand.<br \/>\nPerhaps this is because the knurling is just a bit deeper.<\/p>\n<p>And for only $14.99, it was worth a look.:) I can always PIF.
