Bought a super speed which has some wear to the handle,I'm not keen to shave with it until it looks like a new pin.Just wondering if you gents know anyone who offers replating apart from safetyrazors.co.uk? :twisted:

The Razor Emporium does. If I remember correctly they're out in California some place.
 
I saw that too, but I have no knowledge of what transpired to get them on the bad books. I have not used them yet, but they have had some nice stock pass through. Leisure Guy's 'excess' brushes were on sale through them awhile back.

Well it's up to you but I've yet to see a razor coating flaking like old paint that would contaminate lather and I'd want to be sure that it's even worth the extra £15 - £20 when SS's are pretty common and you could get a mint one for less. If the razor has sentimental value then that's a different matter.

Dave at Safety razors replated a Fatboy and repainted the numbers in two different colors for £17 returned posted that I have just given as a gift and it was done that well that the receiver of the gift could not believe it was a razor from the 50/60s as it looked new. So I would say that Dave is your best bet

Hope this helps

I sent Dave a Superspeed to be replated a while back. After looking at it he told me that it wouldn't be worth doing and sent it back. Could have done it anyway and charged me but I really appreciated his honesty.
