    I've recently had this 1928 Big Fellow re plated in silver.
    The condition when I bought it was poor, down to brass with only 5% silver left on it and the case.
    I've put a photo of before, on as well the newly silver plated razor.
    Alpha Electro platers did the work for me, they're in my local town Sheffield UK.
    I popped the lining of the case out before taking it in for the work to be done.
    The work was done quickly, I took the set in on Monday morning and collected it Wednesday afternoon !
