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)

    Gillette Fatboy Tune Up

    I sent my fatboy, purchased at an antique shop, to Razor Emporium for a tune up. I had heard mixed reviews, but after talking to them I sent it in. Could not be happier, came back quickly, looked great and was adjusted properly. Great service and a real value. Charles Kleinert

    Black Beauty to Black Stallion

    It was fast service, I can not complain. The razor was decent before but when it came back it was like I was back in the 60's. Great service, just don't think about it just do it.

    Words cant express my joy!

    My Gilette Black Beauty had been my dads and was handed down to me 20 years ago. I was upset when the risers broke. You not only fixed it but you made it look new. The shave each morning makes me feel special. Only those that use an old fashion razor knows what I talking about. Your staff was all about the customer You guys ROCK!

    Very happy !

    I just spent the best $20 of my life ! RE gave my 73 super adjustable ''the tune up'' I can't believe the difference, I honestly thought the gap specs were just subtle, Post tune up is a different story, the gaps are more defined more range, that alone is $20 bucks well spent ! Lee
