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. I abandoned it after the first WTG pass, and a small area of XTG. I actually had to get out of the shower and grab another razor (DE) to finish the shave. I can’t say for sure that it wouldn’t have given me a decent shave. But the drag on this thing was absurd. 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. 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.

Five blades scrape your skin five times. Figure it out. And because it’s such a big flat device any folds of skin or turns get ignored or irritated. 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 shave in the shower and I use “Kiss My Face Shaving Cream” with a nice badger bristle brush and a fog free mirror.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. 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. I started on my sideburns and the trimmer blade glided right through the hair, no tugging or pulling and didn’t leave any behind. I was impressed and had the thought “could I shave with just this one blade?” The answer is kind of. I did one line, top to bottom, and it performed well but the hair started clogging up the blade about ¾ of the way down my cheek. Not a negative on the trimmer blade though! It cut just fine. 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.

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..Have been shaving in the shower since the sixty’s ( thanks to the U S Army) still dontoday. I have tried gels , aerosol, and creams. Really the Harry’s blades and pretty much the handle. Going to have to get the rubberized textured model to try. I recently (just for the hell of it) used some hair conditioner on my face before I shaved. Wow that’s my new go to ,fewer strokes, very close shave and babies butt soft face. Love it. 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. 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. That said, the only time I use my Harry’s anymore is for the times I travel by air with only a carry-on bag. Otherwise, my daily drivers are a Seki Feather AS-D2 and an IKon Shavecraft 102, and Kai or Feather blades.

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

i dont do harrys or DSC, after starting with DE ive had the best shaves hands down. that aside you say you rinse your DE after about 3 strokes, i once didnt rinse the head to see how long i could go before i needed to rinse. i got through the first pass, i had 2 inches of cream and beard hanging from my razor haha. if i wasnt into DE i would look into and try both harrys and DSC, i was stretching my mach 3 far beyond anyone should consider, changed the head like 3 times a year. To me, the second observation exactly contradicts the first! I actually went the other way and cancelled my long-running subscription to Harry’s because of this trimming blade. I tried to convince them not to jettison the old at first, but they wouldn’t hear it, and so, I had to leave. The new TRIMMER Blade is dangerous. After many accidental slices/cuts, I decided that Harry’s was not longer for me. The original blade was just perfect the way it was. Maybe a Harry’s blade works for my average face, but may NOT work for your wooly mammoth fur-covered face.. so PLEASE, when you guys are leaving comments, PLEASE describe your facial hair and/or how often you shave! Some guys like myself only shave a few times per week, and don’t have overbearing, beard-like facial hair.. some of you probably have 10x more than me, so it helps more if you can give that detail instead of railing them right off the bat.I have a Harry’s razor and I use it when I travel but I take my brush and soap. Otherwise, I use a Gillette Slim adjustable that I had plated in Rhodium. I like the shave Harry’s gives but the slim is easier on my face for sure.

Tried Harry’s today for the first time. Am a long time Gillette Fusion Power user (used 3rd party power handles before Gillette came out with them). One thing that kept me from getting Harry’s was no trimmer blade. Now that they got one, I thought I would give them a try. The all time best shave “system” Gillette Mach 3 Power Razor. The three blades are perfect for a close shave and easier to rinse clean for the next stroke. I feel the “Power” part of the handle helped the blades go through my beard even after not shaving for a few weeks. I was able to get multiple shaves from the blades but this might be assisted by the vibrating handle. I am not sure why Gillette is trying to phase out the Mach 3 blades/systems, they, for me are far better than the Fusion. I guess the Fusion’s extra blades allows Gillette to charge more than what they are truly worth. Harry’s blades are good and last a long time but still not as good as Gillette Fusion. They don’t last as long either. Not a DSC fan. I switched to Harry’s over 2 years ago. Originally liked the smoothness of Harry’s shave and became a regular user. Last year, however, Harry’s introduced a new blade with a trimmer. While the trimmer may be a good idea, the actual shave became more rough on the skin and pulled quite a bit. Upon inspection, I found that the blades themselves are further apart than the original blades introduced. Because of a much rougher shave, I have discontinued purchasing Harry’s.

As someone who has been shaving his head for the last 16 years, and tried out different razors, I have this to say – Both Harrys and Dollar Shave, most certainly arent the best razors to use when it comes to shaving the head. However, I found both perfectly fine for shaving the face. Gillette still is my go to razor for shaving the head and will be for the forseeable future. 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. I tried Harry’s. The razor is very well made, but I discontinued. Reason? I don’t like dragging a five bladed plank over my face. I told them to PLEASE make a two bladed razor.
