Tune-Up Service

SKU: TuneUp

Description

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

 *** Please take note, if you have other items on a service order and want those items shipped separately from your service work make sure you contact us to arrange a second shipment. Additional fees may apply. ***

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 $35, 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)

    Rust no more.

    Previous plating (where the blade makes contact) was fixed and looks better than new. Seems to work great so far. Looks fantastic with my shave set I bought this to go with. Hope for many years of fantastic shaves with this because this model so far gives me my best shaves overall (comfort during shave vs smooth skin post shave). Happy with the results.

    Excellent service!!

    A friend of mine had given me a Gillette Slim Adjustable. I noticed that the blade gap was off and there was also a "lazy door" issue. I sent it in for a tune up. The turnaround was extremely fast, and the results were fantastic. The numbers (which the paint had been worn off) were repainted, and the issues were taken care of. I plan on using this razor quite regularly, and I'm pleased to have it in such excellent condition! The polishing cloth is a nice bonus! I certainly plan on using their services again as I acquire more razors that need a little love!

    Perfekt!

    Ich habe meinen 77er black beauty zum tune up geschickt. Die Farbe des Griffs war fast weg, die safety bar war krumm und die Flügel schlossen nicht syncron. Insgesamt war zwar der Versand incl Zollgebühren zwar teuerer als die Dienstleistung aber ich bin froh es gemacht zu haben. Der Rasierer sieht aus wie frisch aus dem Werk. Zusammenfassend kann ich Razoremporium bedingungslos empfehlen.
