Check out my Replates!

[Samjax]

I got hooked up recently with Krona Kruiser about doing some re-plating (nickel) for 3 of my razors that needed a bit of a "face-lift".

What I had him do was my 1910 Model 102 Open Comb, Gillette New Open Comb and a 1965 Gillette Slim Adjustable. The New was actually 100% brassed.

Here are some pics...no doubt about it, a nice replate job is helpful.

As a point of fact - we have some pretty talented guys hanging around B&B!

I have a 1912 Ever-Ready on the way to him, (that he PIFd me the replate for, so I didn't break my restraint). After Christmas, I'll be sending him a Slim to replate as well. Very nice work.

Thanks Tom! A "face lift" is a good word. Those old types and NEW's dress up nicely in bright nickel or rhodium. Here's a pic of the bottom (sorry for poor quality pics).

Oh thats just perfect ! Now I can't wait to see my Bulldog when it will come back from the Platesmith (Yeah, I just invented a new word lolll)

 

[Krona Kruiser]

I like that! Platesmith. That's a term worthy of the "Daves."

How much did you spend on the replates Tom?

Looks very nice.... I've been thinking of getting my some of my NEWs replated.

After seeing how beautiful those look, I think I may have to send off my super speed to be replated. It's not in bad condition, but I'd love it to have a fresh nickel plate (it's the one I used to get my g/f into using a DE razor). I've never had anything replated, how much can one expect to pay for such wonders?

Great work Krona!

How did that unplated New that I traded for your Tech work out?

I assume you have plated it aswell in the meantime.

Krona is a "top bloke" I have had a few dealings with him, I got a replated Fatboy off him which is my vintage pride and joy, he also sent me my first bottle of Clubman
