If I were to get one of my vintage Gillette razors revamped, it would be a nickel plating. Nickel plating is corrosive resistant, it's cheaper than most of the other plating services, and it mimics the old Gillette razor finishes.

FWIW, I have an Aristocrat Generation 1 in Rhodium, an Executive in Gold, a Fatboy in Nickel and my birth year B1 Red Tip inProspector.
I believe “original” is best, unless it’s for something “special”

Rhodium plating for me

Rhodium for me, though I would keep it original if it were near mint. Gold plating is for the Executive version with the different handle knurling pattern..
