Thanks voor the info, most enlightening.

This link might help explain why Zamak can be difficult to replate in something as intricate as a razor:

Yep. That covers it, thanks. Saved me some explaining.

Edit: one thing it didn't cover really was that fresh cast Zamak is immediately polished and plated, before it has a chance to oxidize. It is pretty easy to initially plate.

Zamak is a pretty decent razor material, all things considered, especially if the threads are made from some other substance, like brass. A Zamak razor should be expected to last slightly longer than it's plating.
