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.
This scuttle definitely improved my shave experience. If you haven’t experienced a nice hit shave lather I highly suggest you pick up a naked armor scuttle and give it a try.
I just got done using the Noah’s Organic shave puck. Wow what an awesome soap. My first time using a straight razor was a horrible experience. To be honest it was my first time wet shaving. I bought a very cheap puck off of Amazon and it had no slickness or cushion. This is not the case with Noah’s Organic Puck. This soap isn’t much more than what I paid for that horrible soap from Amazon, but it performs like a top tier soap. I had tremendous amounts of lather , and slickness and cushion for an amazing straight shave tonight. 3 wonderful passes. This soap is heading into my rotation.
The Dodinel carries a good weight and balance. This razor has a good edge out of the box and gave a good 1st shave.
Guys, this was precisely what I was looking for. A slightly oversized, heavy, quality shaving cup.
The internal ""warm water channel"" works exactly as advertised. When filled with hot water, the cup becomes hot to the touch, warming your shaving cream and/or soap.
The indentations are perfect for getting a quality lather on good shaving cream and/or soap. Easy to clean, and should you require it, pop it right into the dishwasher and forget about it. Finally, it looks good, feels manly, and I like it in my everyday bathroom kit.
But! The damn Cork... Let's talk about the Cork!
It is a cheap, right-out-of-the-mill Cork. It is low quality and flakes if you scratch it moderately with your thumbnail. That isn't a big deal, but seems strange when paired against such a nice shaving cup.
But here is the problem. The cork is EXACTLY the right size for the warm water channel. This means that if you push it down with light force, it will go parallel to the surface and be difficult to pry out of the hole when finished.
Finally, if you're a functional moron like me, any ham-handed attempts to get the cork back out result in shoving the cork INTO the warm water channel. No! My Cork!!! I've been working at it for several minutes, like trying to dig termites out of a termite mound. Guys! My tools aren't working, and I can't get the Cork out.
To the manufacturer, please consider oversizing the corks. That would make it simple to push in and remove. Finally, it is impossible to be pushed into the warm water channel by idiots like me. The cork is an odd detail to screw up with such a quality shaving cup. Or, consider another type of stopper for the water channel that I can't conceptualize now?
Good service. Very well honed. Short lead time. This sharp straight razor now allows me to easily follow my employers dress code.
King Arthur razor had to be re-honed, but the process was super easy and the customer service was very friendly and effective. Now both the King Arthur and Samson slice-and-dice my beard like brand new and are razor sharp (literally)!
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!

I received the grizzly beard set a few weeks ago and i love it !! The scissors are amazing and trim those straggly hairs with ease , the metal comb has allowed me to angle and fade my beard to keep me well groomed and lined up cleanly. The brush worked wonders when patted into the beard butter and brushed through allowing me to sculpt and shape and wven hold my beard hair just right. Iv used the shavette included to create that neat edge i desire and again coupled with the shaping metal comb it worked a treat. I love the beard oil supplied as it keeps my hairs in tip top condition , finally the wooden comb strokes its way through easily. Tanks Naked Armor for giving the well kept man a great way of keeping his beard in shape in one package!! Perfect gift to anyone wanting to treat their bearded ones in one easy shot .
19 days in today and so far feels nice but I am 19 days into learning but very happy with it. I think one day I’d like to get a more expensive one
It did arrive sharp and that was something I had wondered if it would arrive sharp reading up About it
4 out of 5 just cause it’s a bit heavy and and large
Hey hope you all are having a great day I got to try out naked armor’s shaving pucks, first thing I noticed was that they smell really good and my wife loves the smell also but I really noticed my face feels really good and looks better I can’t wait to try more products and if it wasn’t for you guys I wouldn’t be able to shave and feel good and thank you all for that
The smell on Noah's Organic shave puck is pleasant, but not too strong. It goes on the brush easily, leaving a wet foam on my face that does the job.
Fantastic presentation! Beard oil and balm are great!!!
I would have liked the protruding edges to have been more highlighted, to quickly foam
Did an extensive amount of research about straight razor shaving, maintaining the blade, and products that aid in the process. Found these kits to be a nice package for someone starting out and very impressed with the results. I went with the Thor razor because of it’s aesthetic, but still managed to get in some good shaves/trims with no cuts. I’m happy to be taking this new and cleaner approach to shaving from here on out!
Thanks so much Naked Armour! The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and balance is fantastic!
When I first smelled the tonic, I didn't care for it, but as I did it the second time, I liked the masculine fragrance. I discovered that you have to shake the bottle because the first time I put it on my face, it irritated my face a great deal. I found out it doesn't stop the burn immediately, but after 15 minutes, the irritation lessens. I gave it four stars because it causes my face to be comfortable, but after an hour, the irritation persists.
I recently purchased the Thor Straight Razor Kit, Silver Fox Scuttle Kit, and shaving products in various scents. These particular products have an outstanding scent. As a hunter, it definitely reminds me of the multitude of lodges I've been in over the years. It's great!!
The soap lathers up great with the heated Naked Armor Silver Fox and the brush that came with the Thor kit. The beard oil has a great consistency and does wonders for conditioning my white haired goatee. And the icing on the cake as it were is the Hunting Lodge Shave Tonic.
Wonderful scent line, and it all works great together.

After over a month of use, I have to say this is a wonderful tool to train your mustache with. It doesn't take much and lasts for 6-8 hours. A firm hold with pleasant scent which is not overpowering make this stache wax a pleasure to wear.
At first, I was disappointed in purchasing Solomon aftershave because there isn't any fragrance, but I quickly changed my mind. It takes only a small amount to cool my face, and as I thought through it, I can now wear my favorite cologne when I use it.
I recently purchased the King Arthur Razor kit. Came in a well packaged box, but I did receive the wrong razer. However Laura was quick to correct the issue and had the right razor sent out promptly. Once corrected, contents of the kit are exactly what I was expecting and as advertised. I am a novice when it comes to straight razors, but what I can say is the blade comes very sharp, the soap has a great smell and the brush applies a great lather. I have yet to use the strop, but am looking forward to seeing how it fairs. I would recommend spending a little extra to get the stand so that your brush and razer have a good place to dry. It will save you in the long run. Overall very pleased with the purchase, looking forward to getting more use out of all these products.
As the title says this soap smells almost exactly like Juicy Fruit! The Omnibus base is unmatched on the market currently and I can’t say enough good things about the cushion it provides! Only way for you to understand what I’m talking about is to buy it for yourself and find out!
