Congrats, Dave. I appreciate your craftsmanship. I wish you just as much success on your new venture.
A Break from Replating
- Thread starter onotoman

Jeff; My dreams too, I knew I'd be too late!
Best wishes to you and your new venture!
As for replating options . . . nocutsnonicksnoweepers for nickel, and . . . Reliable Electroplating? Red Sky Replating? One member, I believe, used Red Sky for a rose gold option but I know nothing about them otherwise. Their website lists rhodium and silver, but they look like a jewelry site rather than a dedicated razor replater.
We could also bombard nocutsnonicksnoweepers with requests to start replating in gold and rhodium.

Best of luck to you! I hope that when I'm finally able to afford replating one of my Fatboys in rhodium, that you're able to take on razor replates again. You have my deepest respect for the wonders that you work.
May the best of luck be bestowed upon you in your future ventures!

New jobs are always a mixture of eager anticipation and anxiety but I, and all the rest of the B&B'ers, wish you the best and hope you can get back to your 'hobby' without too long a hiatus.
Rats.
Like so many here, I simply waited until "I have a few more to send him" and waited too long.
Best of luck!
Who is still replating???????

Best of luck.
best of luck i have a few i wanted to send you but wanted to send out more than just one at a time you work was always stunning!!
Good luck Dave.
Let us know when you can do replates again. Many of us won't mind waiting a lot longer than the usual 3 weeks turn around if it means getting razors back from you without so much pressure.

Congrats Dave. Sorry to hear that you will take a break from plating. You did a great job on my razors.
Chris (nocuts.......) is now doing rhodium and gold. So our full range os options is now available stateside.
Best wishes to you and your new venture!

Good Luck. I never sent anything to you but I have seen your work online, great stuff!
As was said above, nocutsnonicksnoweepers will be replating in gold (yay!) and rhodium alongside nickel. See other thread. I haven't ever had Chris replate a razor, but the feedback that I've heard and pictures that I've seen are impressive.
Reliable Electroplating is the only other vendor I'd really consider currently, but given some of the delay/customer service stories, I'd put them at second place (obviously, Krona, onotoman, and (though I haven't used them) ATT are top tier but aren't on the current list since they are out for the time being).
Someone had a razor done at Red Sky (I think they do rose gold), but their website seems to be primarily a jewelry replating site so I have no idea on their razor replating skills/experience. Nick at Sport Shaving sold me 2 of my de-plated News (a rewarding experience and a nice guy) but I haven't seen or heard of anyone who has used him for replating (or restoration) specifically.
Any other options I'm missing for a quality razor restorer/replater (that has not been banned from B&B)?
