He goes between both, he just went back to Montana this month though.Mr. Chris does nice work, wonder if he has shop in Quartzite, AZ?
Yes, I did seven at once, and it consolidated things nicely. I also traded him some razors, which cut down on replating costs as well. Chris was more that fair in that deal. It is a pleasure to work with him.Doing one order should reduce the shipping costs.
Beautiful.
I think your best bet would be to email him and ask. He does have a separate tune-up service option and he checks out and tunes up all the razors beforehand also if he replates them. I'd trust any razor with Chris and if it can be fixed I'd bet he can do it. Everything he's done for me has been fantastic. He's a true Master!So here's a question for the group ....
I have a C1 1957 Gillette Super Speed I bought awhile back that looks pristine. Simply a beautiful razor.
But it shaves terribly, the only one of my 6 vintage Super Speeds that is so afflicted. I was puzzled so gave it a closer look and it appears the head is slightly cocked and that one of the butterfly doors doesn't close completely. It isn't hugely noticeable. I had to compare it to my other Super Speeds and really eyeball it to even notice it. So it's a minor flaw but just enough to render the shave less than ideal. As we all know, even a few thousandths of an inch can make a big difference with a shave.
So my question is this: I know Chris does wonderful plating but does he also do tune-ups that might turn this apparently dropped Flare Tip into a sweet shaver again? Is he able to do some bending/twisting/turning/whatever to get that razor right again?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
