    Default My 1936 USA Aristocrat De Luxe ...

    A while back I got this razor & 2 others re-plated by Reliable and they did a fine job. It just took so damn long (4 months). Anyway I polished up the case, lacquered it and re-upholstered the interior. I didn't bother with the satin strip to cover the hinges so it ain't perfect but I didn't put the tray in backwards this time, so I got that going for me. So here it is... Cheers

    The first 2 pics are the before...

    Amazing. One of the few razors worth replating in gold.
