I'm about to recieve an Aristocrat and from what I can tell the plating seems good, but it's definitely not great and i'm not sure if I should just try my best to clean and polish the razor or just send it for replating.
I'm not a huge fan of the gold plating, since it's the least durable plating material, but the Aristocrat came with a gold plated case and blade bank and it would be very awkward and silly of me if I replate it in anything else but gold and I also doubt that i'm going to use the razor all the time, so the plating should be ok with light use.
