Yep, the title pretty much says it all. It's a Karve Overlander in brass that I ordered from Razor Emporium  and had them plate it in 24K gold.

Razor Emporium does stellar work. I'm about to send my brass Karve CB out to them for Rhodium plating.

For a modern 3 piece brass or stainless razor 24k is $114 and Rhodium is $137.

Seems fair.

There are some different options also if you have more than 1 plate or handle, etc. I'm currently sending out my brass Karve CB fro Rhodium plating. I had a discount. Like I needed further encouragement!

I know that the owner of Razore Emporium has a bad rap for his reviews of competing brands.
However, his vintage razors replated in gold and/or rhodium is superb.
Two week turnaround, they look and feel new and perfect.
I got a Fatboy, and a 1954 Gillette flair and was delighted with their work
