I'm considering having a seriously ugly Gillette Red&Black DE replated in gold. I just saw a replate from Razor Emporium (not gold) and it looked pretty good. Anyone have recommendations on them or other replating services?
I had Dave at safetyrazors.co.uk do three of my razors and he did a good job.
As far as I know member Buddydog does replating. He has posted some of his replate jobs on here before. Do a quick search and see if you can find some. His razors always look amazing.
No experience with them (RazEmp) but I remember they were banned from here at one point.
Sorry if I'm mistaken, perhaps some mod can verify this.
I don't think anyone's ever been unbanned from B&B.
Right, they are still banned. I checked. Not sure why they don't get the *filtered vendor* thing.
I do not and never have offered a replating service.
I take my parts to a local brass shop and they take them along with their to a plating shop in Oakland, CA.
I've never had any direct contact with the plating shop.
You can contact them yourselves, but I'm in the custom razor business not the replating business and this topic has caused me to get e-mails for plating jobs which I have to answer and decline.
