WHY WAS OUR MADE TO ORDER SECTION CREATED?

We get questions frequently asking if a particular razor they are bidding on through Ebay would be a good candidate for a Revamp. It's impossible to guarantee our analysis is accurate without having the razor in our hands, so we created a solution! Forget the risk of buying online, paying shipping, shipping the razor to us, paying for service work, only to receive the razor back and be disappointed because it wasn't a perfect candidate to begin with.

WHAT IS MADE TO ORDER?

Our 'Made to Order' service allows you to purchase razors that we have already inspected, vetted, and guarantee! Pick the razor model and precious metal of your choosing and your Revamped razor will be shipped in 2-3 weeks!

If you have a preference in Date Codes we will do our best to secure them, however cannot guarantee the date code will be available.

What a nice razor!!!

The look of the rhodium finish is spectacular. The weight of the razor perfection. The shave for me is extremely nostalgic. My father taught me how shave with a very similar razor. This razor is a perfect for beginners and anyone who wants to go back to wet shaving. WARNING! Wet shaving is very addicting. Now I’m also looking to purchase the Gillette adjustable Fat Boy razor. I say don’t hesitate get back to wet shaving now.

Great service

You actually can't beat this made to order service to 1) let Razor Emporium find the exact Gillette razor model and year you want and 2) then revamp and guarantee it is of good quality, and 3) ship it to you at no cost (as of today, for orders over $70). Even if you find a razor on your own, I predict the price can't be beat. The restoration quality is well worth the price. There's one error in the description, currently. The 1940s style Super Speed was made from 1947 to 1954, not 1947 and 1951. I know because I ordered a 1953 (date code Y-3) and got it. The shipping estimate is 2-3 weeks, but mine was over 6 weeks. It was a gift, but I had planned in advance, so the delay was of no concern to me.

40s SuperSpeed

I had ordered the beautiful and very durable rhodium plating for a Slim and for the Fatboy but I wanted to turn a SuperSpeed into a MiLord with gold. Razor Emporium did a great job. It looks really good and offers a great shave. It’s definitely in heavy rotation.

Wet Shavers Delight

40's style like new. Delighted with my purchase and with the professionalism of Razor Emporium. If you're intersted in a great razor to use and not just look at, don't hesitate.
