WHY WAS OUR MADE TO ORDER SECTION CREATED?

We get questions frequently asking if a particular razor they are bidding on through Ebay would be a good candidate for a Revamp. It's impossible to guarantee our analysis is accurate without having the razor in our hands, so we created a solution! Forget the risk of buying online, paying shipping, shipping the razor to us, paying for service work, only to receive the razor back and be disappointed because it wasn't a perfect candidate to begin with.

WHAT IS MADE TO ORDER?

Our 'Made to Order' service allows you to purchase razors that we have already inspected, vetted, and guarantee! Pick the razor model and precious metal of your choosing and your Revamped razor will be shipped in 2-3 weeks!

If you have a preference in Date Codes we will do our best to secure them, however cannot guarantee the date code will be available.

    Fantastic service and Razor

    My first made-to-order, and I have only positive things to say, such as the beauty of the razor, how lustrous it looks and how fantastic it feels, and being able to shave with an excellent piece of history. The single ring shaves efficiently and requires technique, but honestly, it gives me a closer shave than any other razor. I highly recommend this razor and the made-to-order service in general. I also want to highlight customer service was remarkable during the process.

    Is it as good as modern razor? Some yes, some no, but it amazes me that you can get a great shave from the same razor Theodore Roosevelt could have used. If there were not any technological advances in razors in the last century if we had this razor we would be OK. It is light and small, avoid the temptation to add force.

    Third Gillette razor purchase from RE and exactly what I wanted to fill a particular spot in my collection. Requested a particular finish and no cracks in the handle. Got it. Not so perfect to fear regular use but Excellent over all in appearance and function. Very happy with everything purchased from RE.
