What razor? If it’s Zamak below the chrome then it can’t be replated, alas.
The problem lies with the base material i.e Zamak. When cast it can be plated it but to remove existing damaged plating, the chemicals and process that do the stripping, wreck the Zamak. Not so with brass or stainless steel. As far as I’m aware, aluminium is a bugger too.A 2011
I do have another
I was hoping to have it done rose gold to match a rose gold handle I have...
Here’s hoping.I have a query out with a gold player that JKRazor recommended. I’ll see what he says. A quick google suggests some players will do it and some won’t....
You can buy the R41 head only from Muhle and many other outlets. I’m not a lover of aggressive razor and although the ‘41 can bite, riding the cap tames it. The blade is clamped very close to the edge thus reducing chatter and it really is quite a smooth devil. Additionally, the screw post on the top cap is brass so even if the chrome plating does wear through, no detrimental corrosion will occur.I've never tried an R41. I have always thought it'd be too aggressive for me, although with care I can usually get a good shave from an aggressive razor and I do like to get a very close shave.
Maybe I should get one since I will soon actually be 41.
I might not ever get an Edwin Jagger DE87....
