Well I had a FaTip Piccolo in nickel. I only shaved with it once and sold it. I did not perform bad on my face, but I sold to buy some more SE's. To be fair I should give it another try.
Maybe too prematurely. I did not give it a proper work out.

Looks like all the teeth are straight and nothing else bent or broken. what you need to ask yourself is is it worth it to you? Are you willing to go that amount. What will you do with this razor?
Do you want to buy and sell to make money, use it yourself, make it a collectable, become an antique dealer?
these are all questions you need to ask before buying anything. I personally would not spend more then $20 on an old razor. That is just me. Now with that said, I bought two new, one short comb and one long come that I sent in for a re-plate job. That is over $20 limit but they will be personal shavers for me.
Here is where "YMMV" comes in. One man's treasure....well you know the saying.

This was a very helpful answer for me personally. Thank you. To get an idea, what would a replating cost be on something like this?
I'm an avid Harley rider with a tricked out custom Fatboy...so when I think of re-chroming, my mind and my wallet starts to hurt.
You need to get up with Dave and hash that out. He comes highly recommended by members here on BOTOC.
I don't think so. It looks like someone stuck a gold ball end tech handle on a New head. I thought the New Bostonian has a bar handle.

If anyone purchased a FaTip Grande in Chrome, I would love to see pics of the head up close, as the nickel was good but not great as far as the finish.
I am very picky when it comes to razors, unless they look great, I do not want them as part of my collection...so any pics would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

For me, when it comes ti a razor getting re-plated it is a matter of personal choice... For me depends on how much I use that razor, and will I be keeing it in my rotation.
If i love a razor... Who cares what the "market value" of that razor is.... If I over paid and got it replated to boot, it is for my shaving pleasure and enjoyment....I like shiny things....I didnt enter hobby to be like the guys in storage wars, trying ti fid a deal and flip it for profit.... Tge razors I keep I use! I am not a collector.
My best advice when it comes to buying or even sending out a replate.... Make sure it is a razor you truly like and plan on using... If it is.... Go for it!! It will give you many years of enjoyment....!!

I am 100% on that one as well. The value is what you think it is!
I shaved with my new Tradere OC this morning. Beautiful razor and an excellent shave!
Ken, clean out your mail box!
The 1920's Single Ring I found on eBay arrived a couple of days ago. BIN offer. M179183. No cracks or bent teeth.
I have a Muhle R101 OC and it is my favorite razor. It gives me a better shave than my Feather SS and any of my old Gillittee SS or Slim Adjustables. I have an old Gillette Bostonian, but it is a little to aggressive for me.

I love single rings..highly underrated razor....they don't as much love as the NEW or more modern razors, but with the right blade....they are hard to beat!
