We now finally have a guy in the UK who replates razors. Goes by the name of "J J Shaves". He's also on YouTube.
I have two of those GEM Z razors and this one was in worse condition.
I didn't pay much for the razor, so I thought I'd risk it and see what he can do.
He does it quickly, for a reasonable price and communication is great (he sent me a video showing off the razor when he was done).
I'm pleased with the results.
What next?
I have three Kampfe HR-14, two of them in, let's be polite, less than perfect condition. The other one is almost perfect.
Also, I'm now more willing to get lather catchers in bad condition for little money as I know how to get them shiny.
Pay $20 for a battered old razor, the same again for replating and voila! - a razor I'd have to pay over $100 for.
I'm off to do some browsing on eBay...
That is awesome. Happy hunting.
