Great blade

Mine did have a small crack in the resin inlay upon arrival, it doesn't affect the shaving. Perfect size blade that is easy on the eyes and fits like an extension to the hand. After a little stropping it makes a hot knife through butter look like childs play. Feels solid and shaves great! From sideburns to goatee it cuts flawlessly!

It tightens up the shave den

Thanks so much Naked Armour! The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and balance is fantastic!

My first straight razor

The razor is great, but the customer service is even better. There was a bit of a learning curve since I was switching from an electric shaver but they helped me get through it. An excellent place to purchase your first straight razor.

Quality Guaranteed

Blade is superb, comes sharpened/honed, oiled, and well presented. I had a stroke of bad luck and dropped my razor from the sink to the tile floor causing a hairline fracture. The team at NakedArmor reached out without hesitation and sent out an exact replacement at no extra charge. This is the definition of standing by your product and I can’t say anything negative about the blade or customer service. This is the closest shave and smoothest without producing razor burn. I highly recommend shaving some cheap cream off a balloon to get the angle and technique down if you are new. The kit I ordered originally came with a very nice soap that makes a rich lather and smells nice. I would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.

Griflet

In the beginning I was skeptical, especially after I got the wrong razor when my order arrived. But the excellent customer service from Laura shined as always! I can tell you this, this razor is beautiful! I love the Spanish point and the multi colored scales with acrylic and wood! It does come “shave ready” but I would recommend and finish gone to better the edge. My favorite originally was the Solomon, the moved the the King Arthur, another beautiful razor. But now I’m absolutely in love with the Griflet! Thank you Naked Armor for producing quality and beauty at an affordable cost!

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

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

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.
