It was love at 1st sight ā¤ļø from opening the box to the 1st shave, I was impressed every step of the way. My beautiful Wife was concerned from the sounds i was making but I couldn't help but let out a "ooo" and "ahhh" every few seconds šŸ˜† I knew instantly that I didn't just order a razor. I ordered an heirloom. For the price of a ueara worth of disposable razors I got a razor that will last a lifetime. I highly encourage you to try this beautiful razor or get it for the man in your life!

Great razor

I used my new razor today, and what a great razor it is! I have six other straight blades from several other vendors. Yours is hands down the best. The other ones use a blade made in Germany, which I think is just too thick. I've had several professionally honed, but it still isn't a very good edge. [one of those razors is a 400$ pearl handled beauty, but it isn't very sharp!]. Thank you for having an outstanding product! A very impressed Dave

Sublime shave!!

I recently recieved the Naked Armore "Percival" straight razor and was highly impressed . The gorgeous carved web and apider were both pleasing on the eye and effective at creating just the right ammount of grip so as to manage an easy shaving experiece . Perfect for novice and experienced shavers it is one of my favorite blades . The blade itself was awonderfully scalloped and razor sharp edge piece of high quality japanese steel and gave me one of the smoothest shaves out of the box that iv ever had , and when i say smooth believe me it was smooth .
Guys dont miss out on this one its an awesome piece of kit !!!

Smooth as silk

Hi guys , i just got my hands on the. NAKED armor "Bedevere" straight razor and i have to say its amazingly good. The handle a sleek yet textured ebony wood feels beautiful as yoir hand molds around it , the blade is up to the normal exsquisite degree of craftsmenship i have come to accept as the standard for Naked Armors blades , crafted in japanese steel it is sturdy and incredibly sharpand has a delightful concave grind that allows it to cut those hairs yet glide over the surface of the skin with minimal drag . Im giving him a solid 10/10 for quality , construction and its ability to shave cleqnly by amateur and expert alike.

The best shave ever

Going from a conventional razors at the store to a single blade safety razor then a shavette now to a truely amazing straight razor I will never go back to a cartridge razor again. For a beginner at straight razor and a lot to learn with them this is a great razor that I will have for more then my life time. This is gonna be something I can handle down to my grandchildren when that time comes. Gonna do a YouTube video and reel in the coming weeks showing off this razor. This is definitely Red approved.

It was awesome!

I received my American flag straight razor and shaved with it for the first time today. It was awesome! Much easier than I thought it would be, since this was my first full face shave with a straight razor. It was sharp and shave ready out of the box. Thank you so much! I will definitely order again!

P.s. And thank you for the give-away! I am just starting this classic shaving journey, and every razor is a new and exciting experience. Thanks again!

Nice razor

I like the razor and it came shave ready.
The reason it didn’t get 5 stars is because I think that it needs gimps on the top of the razor rather than just on the bottom. The addition would make for better control and thus increased safety.

Elyan straight razor 7/8" Natural resin Japanese steel

When I first received this razor , I checked the sharpness of the blade by free cutting the hair on my arm..Did not work ..So I try shaving the hairs on my arm...Did not work no hair was removed.So I used my strop/ 1200k wet stone/and paste on a strop .. I test the razor on arm again/ did not remove any hairs.So I decided to just shave with the razor,I was surprise that it she just fine.5 day later I shave again with the razor.it shave just as great as my 1st Shave.I don't know why the razor wants cut the hair on my arm.i brought the razor to shave with not to cut hair on my .I have know complains.

Merlin Straight Razor

My Merlin was super sharp, and ready to use out of the box! Well balanced, very light, smooth movement on the pivot, and beautifully finished! A little more pointy at the toe and heel compared to my Solomon. A great shave!

I won’t go back to cartridges!

Nice shaving razor

The Dodinel carries a good weight and balance. This razor has a good edge out of the box and gave a good 1st shave.

The Merlin Straight Razor is a beautifully handcrafted gem and by far one of our nicest razors. Much like the original Merlin, this razor is destined for adventure and is a great razor to take on the road.

The Merlin packs a sorcerer's punch with the following details:

  • Well balanced and engineered scales
  • Unique blade design for great grip
  • Powdered steel handle that never rusts
  • Stainless steel blade that lasts decades

Light and strong, this straight razor is a must-have.

Japanese Stainless Steel Blade

Made of super high-quality ACRO polished stainless steel and shaped just right.

It's a Japanese knife stainless steel with an HRC of 61-62. It's so hard that if someone breaks into your house, you could grab the Merlin to defend yourself like a magical wand.

Why Japan? Because they make the best steel in the world.

Have you ever heard of anĀ American Samurai warrior? Well, if they existed, they would use Naked Armor's steel.Ā As far back as the seventh century, Japanese warriors wore a form ofĀ lamellar armor, which later evolved into the samurai's armor.

HonorĀ for a Samurai is placed above everything else, and with this same attitude, we created Naked Armor's shaving straight edge razors.Ā 

Naked Armor Straight Razors

The Perfectly Balanced Straight Razor

Shaving with a straight razor is all about quality, sharpness, and balance. This razor is a tad lighter than our Solomon but feels great sliding down your cheekbone.
