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.

Remarkable Service

I am beyond glad that I choose to purchase a Gillette Single Ring from Razor Emporium. The restoration of the razor was as if it came, brand new, out of the original packaging 100+ years ago, no exaggeration. The plating was spotless, all the teeth were perfectly straight, threads were smooth...perfect. Paying for quality from an American business and American people will never let you down. Thank you, and God be with you.

Sing-ring Gillette

Bought the rhodium plated revamp of a 1920 single-ring Gillette which is now my favorite razor. I own many razors including several expensive models over $200, and this razor is the one I go to the most. It's a beautiful restoration and little piece of history, and I absolutely love it!

Fantastic service and Razor

My first made-to-order, and I have only positive things to say, such as the beauty of the razor, how lustrous it looks and how fantastic it feels, and being able to shave with an excellent piece of history. The single ring shaves efficiently and requires technique, but honestly, it gives me a closer shave than any other razor. I highly recommend this razor and the made-to-order service in general. I also want to highlight customer service was remarkable during the process.

Gillette Single Ring Old Type DE Razor

Is it as good as modern razor? Some yes, some no, but it amazes me that you can get a great shave from the same razor Theodore Roosevelt could have used. If there were not any technological advances in razors in the last century if we had this razor we would be OK. It is light and small, avoid the temptation to add force.
