    The Rex Envoy is $250 in Rhodium. Any other DE or SE options in that general price range? I periodically check eBay but, the ones there are generally listed by price-gouging flippers that I WILL NOT SUPPORT!

    My next closest option is a good brass alternative that can be plated in BRIGHT NICKEL. Or, I might just order some shiny Fatip razors from the EU for some bathroom/"shave den" bling.

    What's good out there in a modest to moderate price point?

    one can get a decent deal on ebay uk for brit aristocrat or rhoduim rocket in good shape.but the cheapest route would be to have your known favorite razor replated.Razor Emporium is still offering rhodium plating as far as i know.

    To add some more recent information about the replating options:

    Rhodium has apparently skyrocketed in price so, the two replaters I queried stopped doing those due to the enormous expense of the plating solutions and equipment needed to do it.

    I also checked into bright Nickel replating and it would appear that only brass is a replating option. I asked specifically about replating a Bronze Wolfman Guerilla and was told that would not be possible for several technical reasons leading to high costs and unpredictable results.

    This service is a new one to me and looks like it may be an option:
