What's the Best Buy in Shaving Stuff This Memorial Day Weekend Sale

Memorial Day is an important public holiday for Americans. It started as an event to honor Union soldiers who had died during the American Civil War. After World War I, the commemoration expanded to include all male and female soldiers who died in any military engagement. That’s why we celebrate it today: to remember their valor and sacrifice.

But because Memorial Day, like most federal holidays, is celebrated over a three-day weekend, it has also become a cultural holiday for us. It marks the beginning of the summer season.

Naturally, with all the consumer spending revolving around these activities, retailers have a massive opportunity to increase the sales of a typical American family’s disposable income. Hence, our traditional three-day Memorial Day Weekend Sales¹.

But while the Memorial Day Weekend Sale is the best time of the year to buy a mattress, a gas grill, or a vacuum cleaner, we here at Naked Armor contend that it’s also a great time to hunt for lower prices on quality shaving stuff for guys. Here are our recommendations on the best buys for shaving stuff during this Memorial Day weekend sale.

• Check Out a Good Shaving Kit
• Consider a High-Quality Straight Razor
• Buy a Scuttle
• Get a Naked Armor Straight Razor Kit

Check Out a Good Shaving Kit

For newbies, starting a wet shaving routine may require buying a single-blade razor rather than settling for a disposable razor cartridge. That’s because one has to consider the quality of the razor and shaving products to get a nice result from wet shaving.

A good shaving kit provides all of these products in one package. While the exact contents may vary with each manufacturer, all shaving kits usually contain a brush, shaving soap, and a selection of oils, balms, and aftershave. All you need to do then is unpack the kit, use the soap to make some lather on your shave bowl (or scuttle), and then happily shave away with your new straight razor.

This isn’t to say that shaving kits are not ideal purchases or gifts for someone who already has a brush and some shaving cream. Instead, they’re a great way to try a new shaving cream, aftershave, or even pre-shave oil. This is also true for the new shave brush with the kit.

While your old shaving brush should last you a long time with proper care, there’s certainly nothing wrong with occasionally picking up a spare².

A good shaving kit gives you all the products you'll need to enjoy a great shave.

Consider a High-Quality Straight Razor

Experience the art of wet shaving with the precision and elegance of the Naked Armor Safir Straight Razor.

If you’re considering replacing your old razor³, this holiday sale is the perfect time to buy a new one—specifically, a straight razor. Straight razors are generally a one-time investment since they’re made from high-grade Japanese steel. They may cost more than other razors but are worth it in the long run.

On Memorial Day, you can buy the finest straight razors since most of them will be on sale. Our tip: get the Naked Armor Safir 7/8” Straight Razor.

Why the Safir?

• Premium Japanese Stainless Steel Blade – Renowned for exceptional sharpness and long-lasting durability. Resistant to rust for a lifetime of performance.
• Elegant Sandalwood Handle – Offers a comfortable grip, natural balance, and a classic look that never goes out of style.
• Shave-Ready Out of the Box – Expertly honed and sharpened, so you can start shaving immediately—no prep needed.
• An Impressive Gift or Personal Upgrade – Packaged in a sleek, premium box that makes it perfect for gifting or treating yourself.

This razor isn't just a tool — it's a statement of craftsmanship and tradition. Whether you're new to straight razor shaving or a seasoned pro, the Safir Straight Razor delivers a consistently smooth, close shave with every use.

Buy a Scuttle

Among shaving accessories, a scuttle is usually the last to be acquired by shaving newbies—and only if there is still money left to splurge. That’s because scuttles are generally priced higher than other shaving essentials, and their importance is not readily apparent, especially when a mug or an empty tin can serve the same purpose.

But a scuttle makes all the difference for a luxurious and comfortable shaving. Not only does it help the lather become richer and thicker, but it’s also the only way to get a warm lather without frequently refilling the hot water. And believe us, once you experience the luxuriousness of having a warm lather on your face, you’ll never return to shaving with a cold lather again.

For newbies thinking twice about the need for a scuttle and would like to dip their toes before spending extra for a scuttle, that excuse goes out of the window because, on a Memorial Day Sale, you’ll get them at affordable prices!

A scuttle can keep your lather warm throughout your shave routine, ensuring a luxurious shave every time.
