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)

    Gillette Double Edge Adjustable Safety Razor

    The service was great. My razor was cleaned, adjusted, and chromed. The razor looks beautiful and appears good as new. I would highly recommend The Razor Emporium for any razor service you may need.

    Not Recommended

    Sent in a beautifully clean, excellent-grade 40s Super Speed to have the doors re-aligned via 'Tune-Up'. Came back covered with tool gouges through the plating, into the base metal, permanently ruining its appearance. Ignored e-mail asking why this happened. They recently Revamped several other razors of ours, and they all turned out fairly well. But I would not trust them to do repair work again. I don't like posting a negative review. But others should be aware before entrusting a family heirloom or unique item to their bench.

    My razor tune-up

    Great tune up service, if you are thinking of having it done, it's worth the money. I had a mechanical issue which was fixed. The only complaint, was they forgot to include the polishing cloth when it was returned, but no big deal. I would definitely have it done again. The razor was returned highly polished.

    Gillette toggle tune up service

    After hearing back from Razor Emporium i am updating my review Posted by Alex Traubert on 28th Aug 2019. Matt had contacted me and asked for pictures of the razor. After sending them, he said he wanted me to be 100% satisfied with their service so sent me a return label. I received my razor today and the repairs necessary were made and the adjustable head works perfectly. Overall, great customer service and work.
