Back Roads Gold re-plated Gillette 195

[Cal]

I opted for the mirror nickel finish and it came out spectacular, Chris does amazing work and the turnaround is very quick.

That's a great job, Tom.

Please post it in the BRGAS (Back Roads Gold Appreciation Society) thread too, if you would.

Thanks, and done.

Excellent all around.

It turned out amazing. It's all set for another 60-80 years.

Wow! That's sweet.
I've got a nice candidate that looks like a clunker and I'm thinking of going for gold.

Agreed, sure wish I was!

Thanks, and yeah it is gorgeous. I kind of debated leaving it in its original condition but I’m really glad I decided to have it done.

My friend, I would wager that it is in better condition than when it "rolled off the line." Truly beautiful, and you are a blessed man. It's no small accomplishment to be with the same wife in today's werld! And to have a Father in Love like yours is a double blessing. I miss my wife's Dad as much as my own. I have lived a most fortunate life.

 

[FarmerTan]

Yeah, he’s done 8 or 9 for me now. Total confidence with BRG. Solid work for sure.

This is great to hear.

Looks great and enjoy your new looking razor. BRG does some excellent reconditioning of razors my eyes are telling me.
Glad your happy with the results.

Cris does awesome work. He replated my Fatboy in nickel. It’s one of my favorites. He currently has my 46/47 Aristocrat for replanting in 24k gold.

That thing looks amazing! So shiny!

Well @HoosierTrooper , I did it.
Should be here today -- this is the razor as shown by Backroads.

Enabler.

Wow! That looks brand new.

That is really beautiful. And the turn around time and cost were both very good. IMO.
I have collected 1 fatboy from each of the 4 years. All in cases. 3 are mint-ish condition and I think that the fatboy was a great design.

I know that I have another fatboy that was refinished in platinum, but I can't find it. It's lost in my house. Someday I will find it. I bought it to use for shaving, rather than to just look at. But do you think that I can find it ?

Very nice razor indeed

Thats magnificent, my Dad used a British Gillette Rocket Flare-Tip. he dies 30 years ago; we don't know what happened to his razor. If it ever turns up, I will definitely have it refurbished.

Use your razor, it will give you so much pleasure.
