On the rhodium plating only the handle is rhodium plated, the head is nickel plated. The only American made Gillette razor to be fully rhodium plated was the 1 pc Executive made between 1949 - 1951.

I've got a Fatboy that is 100% rhodium plated. I did have Chris at Razorplate do that as part of a complete restoration though Smile
