This razor has gone through our complete tune up process. We first clean the 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. Next we carefully polish the inside and out of the razor, bringing the vintage metal up to a high luster. Mechanical adjustments are made to ensure the best functionality of the razor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Razor Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47963604091157,"sku":"Case-V-87","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/1108\/3541\/files\/e8f2a900bc6c48da4dcad87d85c84e96.jpg?v=1707081440","url":"https:\/\/www.razoremporium.net\/products\/1940s-wilkinson-sword-co-runner-guard-empire-razor-with-case-and-blades","provider":"Razor Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
