Blade cut through facial hair smooth and effortlessly. Was very easily able to edge up facial hair lines. Blade definitely does not disappoint.
I highly recommend the Merkur 37C Heavy Duty Slant Chrome Safety Razor and Grownman Shave Co. The customer service is top notch.
Aggressive razor but gave a smooth shave.
I'm getting perfect close shaves without any cuts every time. The blade angle is much better than my previous Edwin Jagger razor. It was half the cost of this new one and that just goes to say, "you get what you pay for." I'm loving shaving and it looks great on the Edwin Jagger stand designed for it.
Amazing razor. Build quality is unparalleled. It’s got some heft to it but the knurling on the handle locks it in. For me, I started out with a feather blade. Very close shave. It’s definitely got some blade feel to it. Second shave was with a Treet blade. Tames the blade feel a little. Overall gives the closest shave I’ve ever gotten. Didn’t feel stumble till the next day!! Not a mild razor, but the more I shave, the more I appreciated the feedback from increased razor aggression. That’s the fun of it. Using technique to use the aggression to your favor. Be well and shave on!
Product is awesome and so are you guys. Nothing but awesome experiences with this company and will be doing business again and again with them.
Happy to have it
Elegant, simple, functional, small footprint, reusable, has heft & doesn't rust. The rubber stopper fits well, has a large opening & pads the base. Buy it. You won't regret it.
I custom-ordered my razor and had my name engraved on the spine. It took Thiers-Issard several months to complete the order, but I am immensely satisfied with the final product. In short, my razor is perfect. There is not a single point where it was not immaculately finished. The blade is stunningly sharp and precise- and has remained so for the last two months of use with stropping. I am confident this razor will outlast me and was absolutely worth the investment.
Nearly a month ago I gifted myself the King Arthur shave kit. The razor is a work of art, a thing of beauty, and a pleasure to shave with. The balance is superb making it easy to get the edge in the proper position to shave. I'm fairly new to using a straight razor and shopped extensively prior to deciding on this one. The wonderful folks at Naked Armor honed my razor for no fee as it was "dragging a bit" out of the box. Now, this razor and the other product in the kit make my daily shave a pleasurable experience. Any ladies looking to get the man in their life a lasting gift, then by all means choose one from Naked Armor. The pricing is great and the customer service is the absolute best of any retailer (online or brick and mortar) I have ever experienced.
First off, let me say this. It is the first time I've used a straight razor, therefore I have nothing to compare this razor to. I'm one of those people that research products before a purchase. Reading reviews, for what they are worth. Most reviews comment on the razor not being sharpe, which was the major cause in less positive reviews. The Kit arrived within a few day after I ordered it. Looked just like the picture, So I guess I can say you get what you order. Again, this is my first straight razor. it was lighter than I expected, looked good no blemishes that I can see. I also received the ceramic scuttle as a Father's Day promotion, and I ordered the stand. All of which appeared to be good quality, time will tell. So, the first thing I did was use the strop and paste to get the blade shave ready. Once again I will say this was my first time using a straight razor. Using small strokes to get the proper angle and pressure, I got a nice close smooth shave. Getting the angles and how to hold the razor to get around your face will take time and practice. I will admit there were a few areas that could have been closer, but again I believe this will come in time it's a learning curve. As for the shape of the Thor razor, you do have to be careful with the tip, but is great for shaping and edging which is why I choose it. I must admit felt nice using a straight razor to shave with. If You are thinking of taking the plunge and try a straight razor shave, I'd say do it. It's a different kind of shave, using a single edge blade to remove your facial hair.
Really well-made straight razor from Germany. It holds a keen, comfortable edge to shave with. I strop it every day on my leather strop and get a smooth, irritation free comfortable shave. The razor arrived in time.
Purchased as a tester for gift giving. Excellent combination that exceeded my expectations and constitutes a great value. Five Stars for an effective traditional shave cream and moisturizer without an over the top scent.
Versatile stands out when describing this product. Not only a wonderful pre-shave oil, but I use it as a post shave oil as well. Used as a moisturizer, you can’t beat it for the face and body!

I just got the B&M Dune-themed 'Melange' shaving soap in the mail last night (P.S. HUGE shoutout to GrownManShave.com for being super responsive and accommodating through a shipping issue due to an error of address on my part. Thank you, Laura!). I was soo excited to get to shave with this soap today as I'm a big Dune fan (the only book I've ever read twice). I was a bit hesitant as I heard it is a very "spice-heavy" soap (for obvious reasons...the spice must flow!), and that's not usually my cup of tea, but man was I wrong! The smell is amazing, definitely stronger than my other B&M soaps, the spice sent filled the bathroom, and I liked it so much that I decided after the shave to neglect my usual B&M Seville aftershave balm because I didn't want to lose that spice sent. It's been about an hour since my shave and I can still smell it on my face - it's terrific! I think I'm going to need to pull the trigger on the Melange balm as well.
If you're a Dune fan or just want to know what it would feel like to shave in the warm desert breeze on the sands of Arakis....then this soap is for you!
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear and I will permit it to pass over me and through me."
Quality product; soothing and invigorating!

This is a nice first safety razor. It isn't as scary as I originally thought. The ability to switch between two levels of aggressiveness is very nice.
Amazing shaving kit from the one and only Grown Man Shave 10/10
I had to search far and wide for this soap since it's been sadly discontinued. Barrister and Mann's Cootie Killer liquid soap is phenomenal! It cleans well and moisturizes hasds which is something you don't ever see in an antibacterial soap (your hands feel better than before you wash). The scent of tomato leaf is really nice too. It cleans your hands, makes them soft and moisturized, and gets rid of any smells in your fingernails even really well. I'll be sad when what I bought runs out. The shipping from Grownman Shave was also excellent! They shipped super quickly and boxed everything up nicely and individually wrapped each item in bubble wrap to protect it. I'm very happy!
Great price on one of my favorite Barrister & Mann products. Too bad it’s been discontinued. Fast shipping. Always good customer service
Love the craftsmanship and quality of the products!! Would definitely buy again…
