## Description

desertcart.com: Naked Armor Merlin Straight Razor - Shave Ready Japanese Stainless Steel Straight Razors for Men with Powdered Steel Scale, Case Included, Close Shave : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Sharp, smooth, and beautiful. - After shopping around a bit for the perfect razor, I have found it. The blade handles very well, and unlike some of the cheap (novelty) razors out there, you need never concern yourself with unweildiness except by your own errors. It is very tight and smooth in its construction. The steel is excellent. It seems some out there expect the razor to be perfectly sharpened for immediate use. While I was not expected mine to come as such, it did. A note of caution however, this is a tool. A tool which requires skill and knowledge. If you do not have enough respect for this tool to learn how to properly use it, do not get it. If you have no intention of picking up a whet stone (or a variety thereon) do not get a straight razor. If you have no intention of getting a strop, do not get a straighter razor., etc. This is a beautiful and dangerous tool and it deserves better than to be wasted by some fool who will disrespect it. Excellent product. Would definitely buy again.
Review: Great razor! - When I first received this razor, I was apprehensive. It was not shave ready, as advertised, and I have never sharpened a razor. It’s a little different with knives. Anyway, honed it and it shaved pretty well lots of razor burn, but ok. I tried another razor and learned that I hadn’t honed this razor enough. So, after spending more time honing and stropping, I have a very sharp razor that shaves very well. I’m a newbie to straight razor shaving, but this was a great starting point. I love this razor. It’s beefy and well made. The long and short of it is, it’s a great razor if you’re willing to take the time to sharpen it, or have it professionally honed. If you’re not willing, maybe you should reconsider straight razor shaving. I highly recommend it to anyone, newbie or experienced shaver.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Dull Blade
*by C***S on November 19, 2025*

Just like other reviewers have mentioned, this straight razor is extremely dull when it's shipped to you. You may not even be able to cut yourself, that's how dull it is.
