Tune-Up Service

SKU: TuneUp

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)

    Tune-Up

    I’m extremely happy with the tune-up I received! I bought a a $56 1960 Fatboy off eBay in not very good condition, but after I had the Razor Emporium tune-up it’s almost perfectly mint! Awesome service.

    aristocrat tune up

    The final product was good. I still dont have a satisfactory answer that on 10 th of Oct after month I opted out of further service. Then finally 10 days later it was shipped. Also the status service was not operating for me. I mentioned this. Outside reviews criticize the customer service. Matt apologized and this is forgiven but a true repentance would not let this happen to any customer and work to turn around the negative outside reviews. I got good service on a previous Gillette slim. My grade for the actual ork is higher but the customer service brought it down. By the bye there are other companies that do excellent work….without negative reviews. I wish Emporium all the best

    Gillette Slim

    The Gillette Slim that I bought from ebay was in terrible condition and wasn't usable. Razor Emporium got it back to near new condition - just beautiful. I'm so happy with their work.

    Gillette Executive Adjustable tune-up and repair.

    The dial on my Gillette Executive Adjustable Razor was stuck. When I got it back the dial was working properly. The razor had been cleaned, polished and lubed. Everything looks and works great. The only hickup is that I didn't get the polishing cloth that was supposed to be included with the tune-up service.
