Had this a little while now and had always intended to re-plate it, once I finally got round to setting up the plating kit I'd bought myself a while ago. Well finally it's day has arrived! Sorry there's no before shots :icon_sad:





Pretty chuffed with how it's turned out. I had a few false starts with the set up, however it looks like I'm getting there now

That's very pretty. Makes me wonder about some of mine, as almost all have some degree of plate loss, especially where the blade retaining clip slides across.

I still think they are one of the most impressive razors I've ever seen, although perhaps not to everyone's taste. And, despite appearances, mine still shave really well with a tweaked SE blade.

One day I shall work out how to get a good edge on the original blades!

How much do you charge for replating one of those?
