Plating/Restoration Questions

[Tat2d Bald Dude]

I have a few questions about Plating.

-I'm assuming "plating" a vintage razor is the same as "restoring" it, is this correct?

-What occurs duing the plating/restoration process?

-Is it really worth it? (I have a 1951 SS and a 1957 SS that I'm thinking of getting plated/restored)

-Does anyone know of any good "plating" or "safety razor restoration" companies/contacts they can recommend?

It's kind of amazing how many want to replate razors. There are a couple of places that will do it, but it is more expensive than getting a razor that is in good condition to begin with.
