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)

    Tune Up Service Website does no justice to your service

    As stated in the headline of my review your website does not even do justice to how good your service is. I Sent in an O.K. 1965 Gillette Slim Adjustable that was hanging up on closure and needed to be cleaned up. It came back returned to me looking "Brand New" You have my total loyalty as I am just starting to collect old razors. I can now buy less than quality razors at a cheaper premium and spend $20 bucks and have them come back looking brand new.

    They went out of their way to help

    Was in town and stopped by to see if they could fix a dropped tto. They did it on the spot. Great customer service and friendly people. Thanks

    1966 Gillette Slim Tune-Up

    I was extremely pleased with the tune-up on my 1966 Gillette Slim DE razor. The razor's finish was still intact; so, I didn't opt for the replating service. However, you did a great job in polishing the razor to bring out its original luster. Painting the numbers was a nice touch. It looks like it just came off the factory floor. More importantly, however, it is now mechanically sound. I've been shaving with it and it performs like a charm. This will be my go-to razor. The razor will be 49 years old in the first quarter of 2015. You gave it another 49 years. It will definitely outlast me.

    amazing

    I bought a 1962 vintage slim adjustable and did not notice that the blade gap was way different from one edge to the other. I was scared to use it. Now it looks and works like new. This relic from the Kennedy era is now my favorite shaver. I can prowl the antique stores with confidence, knowing that RE can turn one that isn't quite right into a wonderful shaver. Thanks again guys.
