They do a good job, but keep in mind that its not a restoration like what you get from Razor Emporium. When you send one to Razor Emporium for replating, it is disassembled and restored. Delta Echo just puts a coating on an old razor. I had a GEM Bullet Tip coated by Delta Echo, but in the end I found that the GEM Bullet tip that I bought NOS (New Old Stock)was a better shave for roughly the same cost. Unless you are after a razor in a specific color, I'd recommend finding one that was NOS.

I doubt Micromatics are being disassembled, from what I have heard all that tried to disassemble one if they were able to assemble it, it didn't function as it should

warm water, dish soap, few drops of vinegar, let it sit for an hour and then scrub it off with old tooth brush that you don't use anymore. If you worry about disinfecting it, then poor some isopropyl on it and your good to go to shave with it.

I did this to all my vintage razors when I got them, they were anything but clean and some needed tweaking

Soap water and vinegar will remove the green spots on the brass?

Think of your GEM Micromatic as a precious antique the value of which would be destroyed if the signs of its use and antiquity were removed.

And think of the many eager hands that enjoyed using it just as you do and will do.
