Hi I picked up an EverReady Steamline over the week end from the famous auction site - received today, seems to be in reasonable nick apart from some brassing on the top etc. This wasnt described in the auction nor shown in the pictures.
I know Streamlines can be hard to get hold of so not really bothered with the hassle of returning it - but like my tools to be perfection Yes i know this is an old razor.
So was thinking of having it re-plated - thought i would see if this was advisable or people thought a stupid idea?
if a good idea - is it best to stick to the nickel/silver colour - or do we go extravagant and may be get it re-plated in black chrome??? (think it make the razor look very mean in black)
If it was to be re-plated - does this affect its re-sale value or collect-ability???
Also anyone have recommendations for a replater in the UK?
thanks in advance.
