Chris Evatt of Razorplate

Hi,

Does anyone know if Chris Evatt of Razorplate.com is still plating razors? I see his website is still up. Can't seem to get in touch with him. He does super work and i would not have anyone else to do my work. Is he a member of B&B? Maybe could pm him??
 
Not sure if he’s still in business or not but he does do great work. I would whole heartedly recommend Backroads Gold as well….mighty fine work as well if Chris is no longer plating razors.
 

AGREED, does incredible work at a reasonable price! He is also a "Chris". Not only Plates, but does adjustment and repair.
I've used several times and can't recommend them highly enough. Here is a pic (doesn't do justice) to some of the work they've done.

Razorplate does silver, Back Roads does not.
Maybe the OP wants his Single Ring replated.
Chris Evatt has done wonderful silver for me.
Hopefully he'll get back to you!
 
Chris does do great work (of Razorplate).

He strips the plating as opposed to using the factory as a base (regarding nickel based razors).

If you really want a polished nickel razor to look as factory as possible regarding the finer details like text this may be the better option, but his competition is stiff.

The silver is hard to beat too.

Nice looking razors, i like the gold tip on that Fatboy. I will not be doing business with back roads gold! I sent him a some emails about plateing a blade bank, and he was rather unprofessional and rude. He said something to the effect like these emails about a blade bank are keeping me from my work. I replied back: " you have to worry about me contacting you back!" He wanted to remove the plateing with sandpaper, and he also mentioned plating over the existing nickel. If Razorplate Chris Evatt cant do it then i guess i will leave it as is. Chris Evatt strips all the old plateing off chemically. I would rather have it done that way.
 
I emailed him a few months ago and didn't get a response. Had a razor replated by Backroads Gold instead and was very happy with the results.
I hope he is alright. Something might be up (sickness)or maybe he died. He was always very prompt and quick to answer emails in the past.
