Just today I received these in-process pictures of my 1930s Rotbart Raised Flat Bottom currently being refurbished and replated by Chris Evatt at razorplate.com. So wanted to share with you guys who I am sure will appreciate a peak. This is how it looks in raw, cleaned brass after thorough cleaning and plate stripping (chemical and manual). Tomorrow it will get a layer of bright nickel all over and then a silver layer on the handle to ultimately present itself just like it left the German factory 90 years ago. Chris has fixed several razors for me - but just for clarity I am just a happy customer, I have no other affiliation with him.
Further, I enclose a ‘before’ pic of course, this was one beat-up razor. This fine shaver I acquired for naught in Eastern Europe and it has lived through all-out war, so it deserves a few battle scars, but also to be resurrected!
And finally a pic of the wonderful condition matching case that I caught this weekend to keep it in.
Life is good!
