Having these replated.
now the wait begins.
Wow! i'd say those are prety nice as is. are you going with anything fancy like gold or rhodium?
Do you know if he does straights as well? I'm going over his page, but can't find any clues or contact info.
Any help?
Let us know how they turn out, I have a couple old razors needing some love, what are you going to plate on a straight? Tc
Email him! Chris answers pretty quick and is very courteous!Quote:

GEM, this was my Grandfathers, is getting 24k gold head with rhodium chrome handle.
The tang is commonly plated. Look at all those Ducks with a gold tang.Quote:

Andrew, I can't tell you how pleased I am with the brush!!!!
It is fantastic.
The size fits my soap bowls and face perfectly.
It builds lather like a monster and quickly, both bowl and face.
It is my daily brush!
Sweet and Sweet! I'm glad your liking it brother! And thanks for the link!!Quote:

His a pretty nice chap to work with.
Gold on my Hess is hit and miss. Spoke with Chris, but he has never done this. But metel is metal :SHRUG: So he's gonna give it a go. He is very precise, and I like that quality, like me.
I'm having him replate the spine and tang as well as the tip of the blade.
Prudy nice guy to work with.Quote:

I was going to attempt to gather the supplies needed to do this myself. Total investment for a crude process would set you back about $250-375. If you were planning on doing a few or as a business, it would pay off. Being in an apartment is not economical at the moment.Quote:

His process and materials are top notch according to the research I have done. And he's doing it as a passion, and not completely for profit.
Wow, please re- post after pics. They look alright already, they'll have a serious shine to em' when they find their way back to you!
I'll be interested to see how they come out. I have a Sheraton that begging for some rhodium.
I will post the afters. It maybe a few months out though. Chris at razorplate has a day job too. He's gets high praise on B&B and gets swamped with work from what I understand.Quote:
