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.

Better than new.

Received my "made to order" in rhodium. I didn't like the original painted tip because it was chipped. So, I had mine plated in rose gold on the tip and doors. They pay attention to detail on each piece they process. Unlike an assembly line. So their products come out better than new.

WOW !

When this razor arrived, and i had it holding in my hands , i couldn't believe the workmanship done on it. I saw no imperfections whatsoever, the plating is fantastic , the red tip paint looks durable. The opening mechanism is smooth . This razor is probably better than when it was originally manufactured.

Perfection, again!

My red tip super speed is the second made to order razor I have purchased from Razor Emporium. Just like my first one, it's better than new! I chose the rhodium finish. It is superb! The red painted tip is also perfect! Matt and the team have hit another home run!

Amazing

My wife bought me this razor in nickel for Christmas, i had to give it a shot right away, it shaved so smooth i couldn’t even feel it, i questioned whether i actually put a blade in. It’s the closest shave I’ve gotten, so smooth, no bumps or any irritation whatsoever. I absolutely love this razor! I shave Gillette platinum blades. Phoenix shaving soap and aftershave, poraso pre/post green.
