Description
Have a razor that needs to be cleaned, polished and adjusted? Tune it up!
What We Do

Vintage safety razors pack some of the most bang for the buck, but knowing if they are fully functional, hygienic and shave-ready is a different story. Starting at $29, we offer a professional restoration that helps bring your old-school razor back to its glory days.

*Please Note: Specialty razors include Bottom Dial Fatboy, Red Dot Fatboy, and Toggle Safety Razors.

How it Works
  1. We first clean your razor in our industrial ultrasonic machine to remove any soap scum, mineral deposits and grime. Disassembly is carried out for the best results whenever possible.
  2. Next we carefully polish the inside and out of your razor, bringing the vintage metal up to a high luster.
  3. Mechanical adjustments are made to ensure the best functionality of your razor.
  4. We carry out any painting that is needed - numbers on adjusters, tips on super speeds and black handles. We use color-matched powder coating that exactly replicates the original factory colors and process.
  5. Razors are again cleaned and sanitized before being lubricated and mailed back home. We include a free Polishing Cloth that will safely keep the shine on your vintage find!
Why It Matters

Professionally servicing means you'll get the best shaves possible knowing that your razor is functioning as it was designed to. Eliminate common problems that affect shaving performance such as:

  • Bent guards
  • Uneven blade gap
  • Frozen adjusters
  • Loose handles
  • Jammed doors
  • Twist To Open issues
  • Broken Clicker Spring (if you have an adjustable and it doesn't click anymore select the above option)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SENDING YOUR RAZOR IN FOR SERVICE
  1. "Add to Cart" this service, check-out and make payment.
  2. You will purchase Shipping during checkout, this is how we will return your razor after completion.
  3. You will receive an Order Confirmation E-mail within minutes of your purchase. Click the link that says Shipping Instructions for Service Work and follow the directions. Include the ticket number / bar code scan form in your package.
  4. Send in your razor however you choose - USPS Small Flat Rate box is our recommendation. The postage you have purchased already is for return shipping.
  5. We'll let you know when we receive your razor and keep you updated during the process.
  6. Our turn-around time is 3-5 business days once we receive your razor.

Great sales and service. Have revamped two razors. Absolutely perfect job. Almost hate to use them because they look perfect. Rockwell razor purchase was shipped quickly, and the razor is smooth as they come.

Fantastic bead blast finish.

Razor Emporium did a fantastic job on my razor turning the dull machine finish into a beautiful bead blasted/Satin finish.

Mr.

I sent in a 1959 Fatboy that needed mechanical adjustment, then upgraded to a complete renewal service, as the plating was in bad shape. I received the razor in excellent condition, both mechanical and aesthetic, and am quite happy with the service. I will use the razor with pride.

ball end handle replacement

Purchased two ball end replacement handles. One in gold and the other in nickel. The machining, the fit, and the finish was excellent on both. I absolutely recommend these as replacements for the cracked ones we regularly find. Shaved with one this evening and it indeed was an enjoyable experience. Kudos to Matt and his team. Wayne Bachman

Tune up of my ‘66 Slim Adjustable

Really impressed with the tune up service. The razor came back looking like what I would think it looked like out of the factory back in 1966. I have other Gillette’s that I will definitely send in.

Excellent customer service, very happy

Sent my wife's grandfather's razor, in pretty crusty shape, for a tune-up so that we could display it in a shadow box. Excellent job; looks like it did when it was purchased so many years ago. Highly recommend this service.

Regent set

I had forgotten to review the Regent set with original leather case i purchased in February 2025 so here it is. The set was not cleaned and not replated. It also came with the leather case in very good condition. I th ought the price was fair and the shipping to be very fast. I am very happy to have it in my collection!

Gillette bottom dial

How very excited I was to receive this bottom dial! I was all original, no cleaning or replating. Just left in the condition as found. which was perfectly acceptable to me. It functioned and shaved very well. My razor stable is filling up thanks to Razor Emporium! I like the quality of the razors they sell and in my estimation the prices have been always fair. Once again thank you. Wayne

New Long Comb

In April I sent in a New Long Comb for cleaning and replating. Once again it need serious cleaning and wasn't sure that Matt and his crew could restore it. They assessed it when it was received and assured me it would restore nicely. They were true to their word as it was totally transformed. The time and workmanship put into the razor was worth every dollar. They never disappoint. Thanks again Wayne

Gillette super speed prospector

Just catching up on my reviews. I also purchased a super speed prospector in the final days of 2024. It caught my eye when I was looking at the current inventory. When I receive it I thought it looked even better in my hands. No flaws, very well cleaned up and again buttery smooth operation. The workmanship as before was flawless.

Military Bulldog set

In February I purchased a military Bulldog set. It was only cleaned and not replated. It was in such remarkable condition I had to ask once again if had ever bed replated and I was assured it was not. As was pointed out it did have two extremely minor flaws which did escaped my inspection. I would miss them again today upon another inspection. The price was fair and the information on the minor flaws greatly appreciated. Great customer service.

tune up revamp toggle

End of last year I sent in a toggle for tune up and replating. The tune up turned out to be remarkable! I never dreamed the razor would have been able to work better than when originally purchased! Buttery smooth. I also had it gold plated again which of course was like adding a cherry on top! Fantastic workmanship all around. Fast turnaround time and great communications through out the entire process. More work coming their way.

A+ Razor Tune Up

My razor had some age and wasn't performing, so I sent it to Razor Emporium for a tune up. It was returned looking great and working like new.

Good as new? No, better than new!

Razor Emporium knows what they are doing. They’ve put in the time to truly perfect the re-plating and fit/finish adjustments on these vintage razors. I found this razor in an abused state and you can’t even tell now. Plating is better than the factory original and the TTO mechanism is smooth as butter. If you find a decent razor looking ugly, I would highly recommend this service. Worth every damn penny. I’ll be back with more razors soon.

Like a brand new Razor

I sent in my grandfathers, then fathers , 1964 Gillette slim adjustable for the tune up service, and the razor came back like new! They polished, inspected, cleaned , and assured all the adjustability was working in correct order , and it gives me much satisfaction to now use a razor that my grandfather once used. Highly recommend the service to anyone who is in the same position, or buys an old razor at auction/flea market etc. I’m glad this service is offered, and I’d surely use it again!

Tune up

Had my 58D Fagboy tuned up. Had bent blade guard and really bad gap. Came back perfectly straight and even. Shaves great. My only gripe is they painted the Red indicator Black for some reason. I wasn't about to send it back for that so I painted it over myself.

Red Tip Revamp and Super Speed Tune Up

Razor Emporium did a fantastic job revamping a 1956 (B1) Red Tip and a tune up on a 1958 Super Speed TV Special (D3). Both razors look and function as good or better than new. Communication and service was top notch. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service

I sent my painted Fatboy in for a tuneup because the adjuster was broken. The service went perfectly. They protected the coating and repaired the adjuster so that it works like a new razor. I’m glad that I stumbled upon this service, and I highly recommend it.
