Where to get a replating kit?

[Nicktheswede]

I know many of you guys frown upon replating but I have a few razors I really want to keep and I would love to replate them so I can use them. Mainly I'd hope to replate gold and nickel. Nickel kits seem easier found then gold.

I want a real kit and not a phony kit. I see some kits with some type of "pen" to be used to replate but I'd rather have a kit with proper solutions etc to get a good nice new plating.

So do any of you guys have any recommendations?

Sound like you want to have some fun!

How much are you wanting to spend on this fun?

Well honestly however much it costs. I was hoping to stay under 100 if possible but willing to spend more if I have too

How is under $40?

This is a small kit, but it works, and the replacement stuff is there and cheap.

Yes, this is real plating. You will be using electricity to bond metal to metal.

There is a chrome, gold, nickle, or copper. Plus many other metals. The price list is at the bottom of the page.

Good luck, and Have fun.

Remember, that you'll need to get a fair amount of solution in order to immerse the entire razor. That can get pricey. The solutions are cyanide-based, so you'll want proper ventilation.
