Gillette slim 1966 Re Rhodium re-plate
- Thread starter Stevieboy1966
- Start date
Rhodium sure does shine, doesn't it? I had my birth year Red Tip re-done in rhodium, and love it. Still looks brand new. 
That is nice work.
I like how it doesn't look re-plated, it just looks brand new. (Except for the numbers, of course.)

$64 for a nice Rhodium replate of a Gillette Adjustable would be a very good price in the U.S. Congratulations. It looks terrific.
Hi guys,
I've disassembled my slim and sent it to revamp in nickel.
Now I've two problem in reassembly.
1 - the selector (the little piece) is broken, would you have some advices to replace it?
2 - I have no idea how many turn give to the selector crown, before to put in place into the handle, the plate.
I've seen the video on YouTube but I didn't understand the thing of the first line and the 5 as reference...
Thank in advance

I'd send it to Captain Murphy. He's a whiz. He may be able to answer your questions. He's a member here.

@arestheos,
I am not sure if the B&B Terms of Usage will allow me to post an email for you to reach CAP, but I have sent information to you via PM. The contact method that I sent to you is the best way to reach him!

Chris good to see you pop in. Always a pleasure to hear from you.
As far as the razor, I agree that Cap is your man and Chris (@nocutsnonicksnoweepers) is the best replater there is!!!!
Someone wrote up some good instructions, including tools.
Looks great! I had my birth year/quarter C1 Red Tip done in Rhodium, too.
I've found this
Gillette Slim Disassembly/Reassembly w/ before and after photos

Hope to have understood good (English is not my mother tongue)
I converted the measure to metrical system (in Europe we aren't at Middle-Ages anymore
) it should be 38,8mm from the base of the handles without the knob, till the indicator screwed.
This distance should be the 1 position.
Then install the plate (with spring indicator) in line with number 1
