Hi Phil - thanks, I had stumbled across this site however there is a statement on there that this guy does not do adjustables
Stick a pic on mate. I'd love to see it.I just got my Slim back from New Zealand, where it was replated and restored beautifully by Dave Glynn. Now it's good for another 50 years.

I'm afraid it's been put away by Mrs Rubbish Triathlete until my 50th birthday - it's an M3. When I get it I'll take a photo - but it actually just looks like a brand new Slim, so I'm not sure it will be a very exciting photo. The mechanism was in good condition before, but it had some of that greeny-blue corrosion and a lot of the plating had worn off, but as I say now it looks like new.
Dave Glynn's website is www.restoredrazors.com. I tried to go to the website just now but it appears to be down. You can see some of it in Google's cache and I'm sure it will recover shortly.
Dave was very responsive on email, and his service - even in New Zealand - was good value and high quality. He was a pleasure to deal with. I'd recommend him without reservation.
Did you not get stung by Customs for VAT and PO handling charges ?The website now appears to be working so it must have only been down briefly. There's a before-and-after photo of a Gillette New that defies belief.
His price for a safety razor restoration in (Gillette original) bright nickel is £45. Which I think is a bargain for a "special" razor (like mine which is from my birth quarter). You do have to pay for postage both ways as well.
