Just got my new (which I'm going for black chrome) and #88 and case all packaged up to send to Dave tomorrow. Really rather excited to see the end results!

Will come back looking great, pop some pictures up?

Another bonus is the return packaging, wee plastic boxes which are ideal for blades/razor/alum storage..........
 

Geez you held out for quiet a while I'm impressed
 
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.
 
Do you know what the average price of the long comb's are? just the razor, no box?

 
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.

After



And the Kropp

 
My Aristocrat just came back from Dave who replated it in rhodium, fantastic job done by Dave,again photos don't do it justice as it looks fantastic in the flesh!! some before and afters
