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 š 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!
My new naked armor straight razor provides me with the closest shave Iāve ever had! Thank you Naked Armor.
Never having experienced a shave with a straight razor this has to be the best shave Iāve ever experienced
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
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 !!!

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.
I like the craftsmanship of the razor but tbh I'm a bit hesitant to use the razor I'm afraid I might cut myself
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.
This razor is awesome, looks great and forms unique accents the more you strop. The eel skin strop conveniently clips to an anchor point for easy use and has nice brass hardware
My Second Razor from you guys at Naked Armor, again did not dissapoint one bit! An absolutely wonderful shave! Again. Thank you soo much!
This thing is beautiful! I love the Damascus blade. Beautiful pattern. The handle is light but sturdy and the wood accents are awesome. Sharp and durable! Get one! You won't regret it!
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!
I like the razor and it came shave ready.
The reason it didnāt 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.
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.
.
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!
This razor really stepped up my shaving. I will never use another cartridge razor.
