What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are contradictory or unconfirmed: the title claims one handle and nine blade refills, while the style field says "Razor + 9 Blades" and feature text says a shower holder is included without an explicit package inventory. Confirm the selected listing's refill count and whether the holder is included. The handle-material field also gives the ambiguous value "Plastic" or "rubber", while another material field says "Metal".
