Well well well…
Didn’t plan it, but my Gillette RFB #44 somehow turned into my experiment razor. I picked one up from a Canadian eBay seller about a month ago. Nice condition overall: straight teeth, no cracks or bumps.
Got the razor yesterday and already sent it off to a master for cleaning and “restoration.”
Here’s the result:

Now it’s stripped down to polished brass. Looks cool, but the master said that it scratches super easily, even with a microfiber.
So now I’m thinking about getting it replated in silver, but not sure where to do it. I know Razor Emporium does it, but I’m outside the US, and shipping + cost would be painful. Any recommendations?
