I will post pre and post pics! Boxes sound very helpful. Really curious about the black chrome and also how the case looks.

I've just had an email from Dave to say my Gillette New Long comb, that I have had Rhodium plated is on its way. Just a little excited.
I shall post up some before and after pictures.

So here it is
This is the before shots.
Dave decided that there was a bit too much wear on the ends of the top cap, so he swapped it out for a NOS Rhodium Top Cap he had in stock
This is the result.
The plan was always to pair this with either my UFO2 handle or my iKon Bulldog, here it is combined with the Bulldog.

That is awesome! I like the look of the head, can they be bought fairly reasonable? I have a spare handle on the way.......
I have been on another thread where this head was recommended.
Just paired a Webber handle with a Merkur head today. Will give it a try this evening.

Yes, they are pretty common, you normally get them as a complete razor. I actually got this head for free from a friendly member here ( Thanks Jamies )
Either a Gillette New Long Comb, or a 7 o'clock New Long Comb is what you are after.
To have just the head Rhodium plated cost me £35.00, if you just wanted Nickel plating that would be cheaper.

That looks very nice!
I'll be sending a NEW long comb, NEW short comb, Old and New improved heads to be replated in Nickel soon hopefully. All for use on my Weber Bulldog.

Do you know what the average price of the long comb's are? just the razor, no box?

You should be able to pick one up in reasonable condition for about £20 - £25.
You might be lucky and find one on ebay for a lot less

Eyes are open, though at this rate what with UFO and Webber handles, R41's, just plated vintage TTO's birth year Super Adjustable (thanks Brian, I have not forgotten you) and NOTTHESTIG trading me a large number of blades I have a different test combo to try every day for a year now!
Still, it's cheaper than my other passion (shooting) or I thought it was :icon_rolleyes:
Cheers,
Cyril

Firstly I'd like to thank Dave at Restored Razors for the replate and Jamie from TSR for restoring and honing a Kropp for me.
I have a couple of before and after pics for the Fatboy but only after ones for the Kropp. Unfortunately my photos cannot do justice to the excellent work Dave and Jamie have carried out on these razors.

And the Kropp
