BIC Disposable Razors
The purest form of the problem - a molded plastic razor thrown away whole once its fixed steel blade dulls.
The verdict: Mostly plastic
The whole tool is plastic except the edge. The body - handle and head - is one molded plastic piece, and it carries a fixed steel blade (or two) plus a lubrication strip that rides against your skin. There's no replaceable part and nothing to keep: when the blade dulls, the entire plastic razor is thrown away and landfilled. It's the distilled version of the category problem - molded plastic wrapped around a steel edge that's the only functional part - with none of the reuse a metal handle would allow.
Verification: Manufacturer confirmed
