I bought both Harry’s and Dorco razors and much prefer Harry’s. It seems to cut better than Dorco’s and it has a lighter more modern feel to the handle and razor itself. It’s like going from a car of the ‘1960’s to a modern car of 2016. They both do the job, but the 2016 is much more technologically advanced.

Know About Harry’s Razors - Sharpologist What You Need To Know About Harry’s Razors - Sharpologist

No, the two statements aren’t contradictory. The original didn’t have a trimming blade, the new model did. I normally use Gillette Fusion blades. They last a month, shaving every day, but I ‘sharpen’/align them with a rubber pad after a week of use. Yesterday morning (I shave in the shower) I tried the Harry’s razor and blade for the first time; today was my second shave. Out of 5 starts, I’d give them 2.5, maybe 3 (if I were generous).

Side note: I’ve shaved in the shower all my life. Nothing beats it. No shave cream, no mirrors. Soap up, shave by feel. I learned to do it in one or two sessions, even where to cut the sideburns. Using Harry’s right now and got to say I am not impressed. Love the price but I don’t get as close of shave vs using my Gillette Fusion blades. I only shave about two to three times per week and it feels like I am pulling my whiskers out one at a time. Gave some of my blades to my son in law and he has quit using them. Im 42 and have been using G-word (it’s a bad word because of the hefty price) Mach 3 since High School. I have super sensitive skin and break out in Razor burn and bumps with those Throw away cheap Razors. Also I had to switch creams from coconut, to Aloe, to you name it I’ve tried it. It would seem to work for for a month or two then my skin would figure it out and go Surprise you need to change again!!! I remember as a kid how I wanted hair to shave .couldn’t wait for that first hair on my lip..now .. I hate to shave… on of life’s little ironies.. Though I felt that Harry’s had the better blades both delivered a close shave. Dollar’s blades had a seemingly strange effect in that it appeared that the whiskers of my beard took longer to grow out.

The new blades, launched on September 7th, 2020, add a slightly smoother blade edge, visible in the comparison photo below, and improve upon the lubricating strip as well. As others have had good things to say, I suppose I may have received a dud, or perhaps this razor just isn’t good for my face/hair. I would rate a Harry’s razor at one notch above disposables. I am 68 years old and not a stranger to getting a close shave. When Gillette came out with this kind of thing in one of their blades, without properly identifying it, I actually opened a case with the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It didn’t go very far though because they seemed to want me to provide them with additional evidence and information, and I am not a research lab, I am just a guy who wanted to be able to shave safely. I didn’t pursue it. But the same complaint could be filed here.The way that the head attaches to the handle has been changed, and as a result, it tends to fly off whenever I tapped it against the sink. I don’t know how many of you do this, but it’s one of my shaving quirks. I don’t slam the head down like I’m trying to beat it into submission, but I found that whenever I did more than lightly, lightly, tap it, the head came off. So I swapped it out with one of the older heads, with the same result. Harry’s had changed the way that the razor head is held onto the handle. When I use Harry’s razors I can literally hear and feel the blades pulling my beard–like the sound of sandpaper on wood. I even tried shaving in the shower to keep the razor very wet. (it’s not my shaving cream). I’ve gone to work on more than one occasion with 4 small cuts under my nose, and I’m finding that I have to follow-up with an electric razor to shave the sides of my mouth. I used it day one at the gym in the shower so there was a lot of water hitting my face and it gave me a really decent, close shave. It’s funny, or odd, that you’d say in the very same review, “The one criticism that I had of this blade [the original] was that… it didn’t have a trimming blade. So when they announced that change, I decided to test it out!” and “I was holding the razor in my hand and as I moved it around, I grabbed it from the top and I could feel that blade start to give me a very fine cut on my finger.”

I use the Gillette Fusion. I shave 4 times a week. What most people do not realize is that you should never leave the razors to dry as-is. Once you have rinsed them, you should either blow them dry, or in the most ideal situation, dry them with a hair-dryer. My Gillette razors sometimes last up a month. I need to see how much Harrys would last with this process. Have to admit that the blades last a long time as the feel of the shave does not change much (heavy drag from start to throwaway) hard to tell when it is time to change blades. I’ve found that Harry’s isn’t too bad on my face, but I find I get more razor burn and ingrown hairs from Dollar Shave Club blades. I usually have no problems with my Slim Adjustable or my Fatboy. As with so many “disruptive” companies, Harry’s takes a different approach to an established industry. Instead of buying replacement blades at exorbitant fees from your local supermarket, Harry’s runs a subscription-only model that delivers shaving consumables direct to your home.

Harry’s Shave Gel

Came across an add for Harry and figured for three dollars – what the hell – give them a try. First day – I liked the feel and the shave was good. The shaving gel smells good as well and provides a good shave – nothing better or worse than the stuff I always use. Have been using Harry’s for a while. I shave 3 to 5 times a week. With Harry’s, if I don’t shave every day it’s a real chore and scrape job. I don’t have a gorilla like beard, but day 2 without a shave is getting grizzly. Before I go any further, there’s something you should know about Harry’s. Despite the disruptive approach and the “shaving’s other guys” tagline, the company is no longer the anti-establishment brand it started out as.
