You cannot go wrong with Restored Razors, his work is perfection. He is also a member here so you can shoot him a message. The second like you provided is a banned vendor fom this site. A search of their name and you will see why.
Closecut61, another member here, is also a great person to deal with. He operates West Coast Razors and has many great razors already plated at a great price. I have three razors from him and am purchasing two more, a Rhodium and Gold Tech.
Good luck in your search.
Restored Razors is run by a member of B&B (onotoman) and has a wonderful reputation, you can't go wrong there. But I wouldn't send to the second at all, there have been horror stories here about them. Do a quick search and find out for yourself. You could also use Reliable Electroplating . Here is the info. CALL don't email and talk to Dale.

I'll try to give Reliable a call on monday... I just hope my "english tongue" keep me from made a translation mistake...
I've been done business with Restored razors, they are my first choice

X3! Dave is great, reasonably priced, and fast!
When given a choice between providers of good service, I try to use our B&B Vendors rather than those who may just coincidentally be members here.
Is Dave officially West Coast Shaving? I'm not sure. I hope he is a vendor. I've seen his name associated with WCS.
By the way, having used about a half dozen of them, B&B Vendors rock! Customer service is superb with all of them that I have worked with. I like to use them simply because being a B&B Vendor is like a "seal of approval". You know what you'll be getting!

West Coast Shaving is an entirely different Organization, and though they are a Vendor here, they don't do Razor Re-plating.
Stay far far away from Razor Emporium. From my own personal experience...why take the chance with them, when you can listen to these fine members here on B&B and have a good to great experience. I could of saved myself three weeks of torment if I had come here first.

I'll do it here @ Dave, his prices are acceptable and I've read somewhere here on B&B that he does good work - I've asked for prices in EU - don't even ask about how much they want for plating a head, and definitely not about how much for a whole razor.
Your work speaks for it self brother! attention to detail and gorgeous results....there only two people I ever recommend...you and closecut61.....both of you love razors, and the passion shows!!
Many thanks - The obsession spreads though - I've now started buying and restoring straights too - I have about a dozen waiting for attention, that's without the 30 or so of my own vintage safety razors, but hey, I have plenty of time and one straight and a few DE are enough to keep me from wearing a beard until I get around to the others.
