The Razor Emporium is easily the best. I spent a few weeks trying to research a place to get a vintage straight razor restored in NY with no luck. In a city like this, you'd think there would be more possibilities. I called places and was never able to get through. One place even said on their website, "We have the pleasure of working in an arena without many competitors, if any; however, this doesn't mean we are less than professional. To the contrary, we are sought after and have a reputation for excellence, working with many elite professionals." - which comes across as totally arrogant to me. Who knows, they may be "the best" but I'll never know because they ignored my calls and emails. Stinks when you can't find something in the place where you live, but in the end I spent more time looking in NY than it took for the turnaround with my razor restoration through RE. I got through immediately to RE and was helped right away. Being completely new to the world of straight razors, I was guided by RE toward ordering the right product/service and now have my great grandfather's 100-year old razor in perfect condition to use and pass on to the next generation. The mirror finish is beautiful, the scales are beautiful, and because of the incredible restoration, I have a new-found enjoyment in shaving, which used to be an annoying part of the day. If RE moved to the city, you would clean up. I've been in a couple of fancy stores asking about gear and they always try to sell the most expensive thing instead of the right thing. None of them seem to know where to get a razor restored either. I learned more from your youtube videos than going to several store and asking questions in person. That's sad. Please help us out.

I had been combing through antique shops looking for decent straight razors and took a chance on a Geneva Cutlerly Company razor. The metal was very tarnished, a couple spots of rust, but the edge looked fine, a little used. Razor Emporium restoration made this razor look new with just a little petina where the tiny rusts spots were. I now shave with it everyday and looking for my next antique find.

My Handle was plastic and had broken a chunk from the hinge where the blade attached. Had it honed as well. Surpassed my expectations. I knew it would nicer, but man when I opened up the package. my Fiancee stated, "That looks even better than before. It looks awesome." Been using it and it is a great shave. I selected the diamond point handle. After i ordered, I contacted Razor Emporium to see if they could get a handle with streaks. Not just straight black horn. Looks really awesome. Worth the money. Thanks Razor Emporium. Keep up the great work. Abel, Georgetown, TX
