Collecting wife bonus parts
Looks great!Been a while since I've plated anything, and yesterday I received a razor from a member here. In our PMs I explained that I am not Back Roads Gold level of quality, and would do my best. He gave me the green light to refinish his Made-in-England Flat Bottom Tech.
Gulp.
Last thing I want to do is f-up a razor that ain't mine.
Well, here's what I did:
The handle was missing most of the factory nickel, so I just buffed it on the wheel, mainly to clean and smooth it.
The base plate was very good. I gave the top a light sanding with 2500 and 3000 grit paper, then buffed.
The cap was brassing so I sanded it with a progression of grits finishing with 3000, then buffed.
Plating and final polish went well, and while it isn't perfect it's a razor that I would be happy to use. Hopefully he feels the same.
