Just picked up Karve open comb (B plate) and a new Karve brush. First shave was really good!

This is more of an advertisement for a razor than an outright razor, but I thought you might enjoy it. This is a glass slide used to insert ads in very old movies...
Lovely. I made a backlit frame for a similar glass film slide. It has no function but looks nice switched on.

I have loved the look of the Bulldog since I first set eyes on one. Does anyone think the handle could be cleaned and if so, how? Or would anyone recommend re-plating or just leave be?

Very nice. I love barber pole handles on razors.
Beautiful razor, congratulations.
Great score, congratulations.

Big congrats!
Why replating it? On my phone, but I see it is in excellent condition?
Clean it with warm soapy water and a soft toothbrush. Polish it if needed..

It's a little rough in some places on the handle that the camera didn't pick up in great detail. I will give it a Dawn bath, a scrub with the soft toothbrush and polish with Mother's. I was asking in general terms if re-plating is recommended? I love it as is, but was just curious about people's feelings of re-plating. It would be something to see a Bulldog in mint condition. Thanks for the input!
Score!! - Very nice indeed!

Very nice!!!
I personally prefer pristine original specimens, but if they are spotted or something I am perfectly happy with replating!
A little Dawn bath, some Barkeepers friend and good as new. No re-plating this Bulldog! The picture does not do this razor justice. It will get the King Gillette weekend spot tomorrow morning.
