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)

    Fast turn around

    This is my first experience with razor emporium. I have been to the previous shop just to see what they where about. I needed a Gillette slim adjustable razor fixed so I visited the new shop. I was impressed worth a vist if your in the area. I will be meandering again to Razor Emporium. Now back to my slim. I received my slim adjustable in a timely manner. I was excited to see how it looked. Wow!! They did a fantastic job repairing and cleaning. I looks like someone else's razor. I would not hesitate to send another razor to have work done. I would recommend their services if you need cleaning or repairs to your vintage razor. They take care as if it's there own. Kudos to Matt and his staff keep up the excellent work. Matt I enjoy your videos great information and history in them. Thank you, John

    wonderful!

    I was very pleased with your tune up job. The 1940s razors I sent look so much better - they are even shiny now. The door on one razor now works perfectly. My boys will treasure their grandfathers heirloom. Thank-you, I have the perfect Christmas present.

    Very professional and exceptional service

    A great value in the world of wet shaving. Sent my fat boy in with uneven blade gap, well used, and in need of a little love and care to make it a bit easier on the eye. Came back far better than expected. Blade gap is even, numbers are repainted, and they brought the luster back. Old razor or aged razor that is new to you, just send it in already.
