There is one guy in England that replates a supplied razor, and abovethetie dot com replates yours and has some already replated for sale. Both are members of B&B if you want to look em up. It ain't cheap for rhodium either. Almost a hunsky in the end.they have to do the cleanup and prep to replate nickel, then plate rhodium over that. Some are happy with nickel but rhodium lasts so much longer

Just a FYI. I had a razor replated by a guy on B&B. When I received it, it was rhodium instead of gold as we had originally agreed, to which I was told I could send it back, and he would trade me a different razor. Then his plating started to flake in 2 months of limited use in my rotation. I was very dissatisfied with his work. Shoot me a PM and I can give you his info if you want. I definitely would not recommend his work.

If you are defiant of NOT doing a thing, doesn't that mean you'd do a thing?

Fixed that darn spell check

Been a while since I've ordered anything Merkur, and the razor itself looks top notch, but the packaging has been cheapened down quite a bit.

At first glance I thought I got sent a knock-off.

My Merkurs both came in a plain white cardboard box

My classic came in that marblized looking white box with a form molded insert that held the razor in place.

this box is;

didn't say the old package screamed EAC, just that the new is cheapened somewhat.

Yeah, my Merkur was just in a plain white box also. Probably depends on the vendor. The plain box is likely designed for warehouse and online orders and the branded box is probably designed for retail display.

Trying a feather blade at the moment after going through the merkur blade the razor came with, some wilkinson swords, Derby, and astra blade. The feather is blowing the rest out the water, I think it'll be the one I use from here on in!
