Cleaning

Thanks Marko I expected that time frame, and those razors are beauuuuuutiful.  I'm pretty sure mine isn't in too bad of shape, but then again I'm not expecting perfection.  It will have a few flaws even if it is replated.  What did the black rhodium cost if you don't mind me asking?  I might just go with original nickel, but that looks tempting.

Thanks EFDan , I was blown away by how beautiful the razors turned out and from what I can tell from your pictures, your Fatboy would probably be a good candidate for a re-plate. The black rhodium was around $100 I think. I can go back and confirm and then there was some shipping costs but if you're in the US that would be pretty minimal. The drill is basically a little communication initially around what you are considering then you send it off, he lets you know when he gets it and then it goes quiet for a long time until your razor gets tot he front of the que at which point there some more communication and presto. Chris is a really knowledgeable guy but given how many plates he's got spinning there isn't a lot of time for hanging out on forums and chatting. That said, once he's focused on your razor he is very generous with his knowledge and helpful advice. Just a pleasure to deal with unless, of course you happen to be impatient and expect immediate turnaround and so forth - people like that are best going elsewhere.
