Here are 4 average state blades after sanding, cleaning, polishing, and my first try of gold electroplating.

Nice job. In the photos the plating looks good enough to pass for original. :tu
The razors are beautiful. The gold plating is superb.

Wow, those are nice! Fantastic that you could redo the plating like that.
thanks.
Of course, I've replated only backs and tangs (and stabs), not gold etching... :cry:
Very Nice Job the plating looks great
Very nicely done! Please keep us posted with new developments!

Awesome work. Did you nickel plate first or is the gold applied directly to the steel ?
gold directly to the steel.
Is there a problem?
I don't have any experience to say but I remember another member doing this a few years back & he first nickel plated. IIRC he said the gold adhered to nickel better than steel but you seem to have had a stellar result.
Thanks. It seems just fine.
I think original plated is directly to the steel.
