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 Adjustable Razor Tune-up

    I have noticed a significant improvement in the performance of the tuned-up razor. The service was prompt and obviously of a very high quality.

    My Gillette Fatboy

    My Fatboy looks & works like it were brand new, When I sent it in it looked good and worked well but after the tune tune up is like night and day. It opens and closes smother, had some rattle in the doors that is now completely gone and the razor gap has been corrected. Cleaned polished and adjusted like new. I'm very pleased so much so that I'am sending another GFB that is in worse shape for a tune up, in about a week or so. Thank you Razor Emporium.

    World Class Service

    I was very impressed with the team and service from the start to finish. They updated me on every step of the process. When I examined the finished product of their service, it was better than anticipated. I will certainly be doing business with you again. Thank you!

    Very Satisfied Customer

    Wow! After searching the internet and reading your customer's reviews, my instincts told me you guys were the best. And my instincts were right, to say the least! When I received the razors they were in better shape than anticipated. Even the razor which had trouble with the doors closing, when returned to me was in perfect working order. I am a very satisfied customer and sure to do repeat business.
