Warning about Harry's Razors

• A few weeks ago I decided to try out the new fad of subscription razor delivery. After some research and debate I went with Harry's razors, the 5 bladed ones.
  
  Razors finally arrive, first time I shave my head with new razor I slice a CHUNK of skin from the back of my head. I figure alright this was my fault, maybe I went too fast and the razors are really sharp, also it happened next to an old scar so I chalked it up to user error. I wait a week for it to heal and scab over, once scab is gone then today I went to shave my head again. Same thing, top of my head a HUNK of skin gets sliced by the razor.
  
  Mind you I have been shaving since high school, I've been shaving my head for the past few years at least a few times a week, NEVER have I done this before, very painful.
  
  I believe there is a serious design flaw with their razors and want to warn people about it.
  
  PS- If someone can recommend what they shave their head with, I will be going back to my mach3 for now.

• aw, that pieces of scalp scare me out of sh*t
  How long did it take to heal up? I guess it did hurt really bad btw.

• Oh man! I'm sorry that happened to you. I know that had to HURT!!!

• Wow, sorry that happened to you! Get well soon. Would you consider trying a safety razor (when you're fully healed)

• I have used the Persona M5 and the Micro-touch (a 3 blade), both cheaper alternatives to the Mach 3, with very good success.  I use Head Slick with both razors.

• I really cringed when I saw that, I'm happy with my mach3 also, always reliable

  M5 is my razor of choice but carts are hard to find. Where did you get your carts?

• I have always used the Gillette fusion. I am going to try six blade version of the dollar shave club. Has anyone ever tried the dollar shave club six blade version.

• You can get the M5 cartridges on Amazon.  If you buy in quantity they are inexpensive.
