Harry's Razors

[jimtriz]

I know these have been mentioned here before...I thought I would put out my two cents anyways!  I don't post reviews very much, but this one is pretty good.  I found them on an ad on Twitter.  Website looked pretty nice, lots of info on the products.  I emailed about if the razors were any good for head shaving and was told they had heard that many people used them for shaving their heads.  I figured for a cost of $15 the Truman set was worth a try.  I am always looking for something new or different to try for shaving...my current routine used a disposable 5 blade razor from Walgreen's and headslick.  The Truman came with a tube of their shaving cream and three cartridges.   First impression was the handle was well built and had some heft to it.  It doesn't feel slippery in the hand when shaving in the shower, it feels almost like a kind of rubber grip on it. My first time using it wasn't very good to be honest.  It left a lot of patches of stubble on my head.  I have always shaved against the grain and had no trouble with the Walgreen razors.  I decided not to pass judgement just yet and give it a few more tries.  What I discovered was the Walgreen razor is hinged near the middle of the blade and the Harry's is hinged at the bottom.  All it took was a simple adjustment of my technique of viola!  smooth shave!!  After about two weeks now I am still using the first cartridge (I shave every other day) and no irritation or redness to speak of.  Cost wise, it's the same I was paying for the Walgreen's razors, without the inconsistent quality.  In a box of three razors, sometimes one or two would seem knicked slightly leaving me with many cuts and lots of redness afterwards.  So to wrap it up...if you are looking for a new razor, I wouldn't hesitate to give them a try.  Quality of their products is excellent and the cost is very competitive.

I've only been trimming, not shaving, for awhile - but when I was shaving regularly (face, that is. Haven't fully shaved head yet), I was using Harry's products. Great prices, and excellent quality!!! Their branding/marketing is very good - simple, clean, and classy.

I really particularly enjoy their shave cream. It's not foamy, instead it's very thick, but it smells great, and feels wonderful! How's it feel on the head?

After reading this review and a few others on different shaving sites, I decided to give them a try.  I'm like GT13, I like trying new things in case they're better and after doing the math on the cost of their blades vs my Shick Hydro 3s, it was a no brainer to at least give it a try. 

I went with the Winston Set.  I ordered on Saturday and went for the free shipping and it arrived by Thursday at noon.  The packaging takes it's lesson from Apple and other tech toy companies, with everything fitting very precisely into its spot in the box, which is a branded package, not your everyday USPS Priority Mail or FedEx package.  Those are small things I know, but it also gives you a pretty good feel for their attention to detail.  Quality matters. 

The proof is in the performance though, so this morning I lathered up and took off the two days of beard and hair stubble and after my first shave, I'm already impressed.  Some of my most problematic areas for getting a BBS shave were no match for Harry's four blade cartridge.  The razor just FEELS right in my hand.  Good weight, good design.

I haven't tried their shave creme yet, I've still got leftover Nivea I need to use up first.  But for blades, I'm definitely going to be a Harry's fan for quite awhile.
