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. 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. 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. 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. I just received a Harry’s razor for Christmas. It’s honestly the worst shave I’ve had since I had to use a generic disposable a long time ago. Rough, tugged at the hair (that had already been buzzed short). Left a thin layer of stubble, even after a few passes. The side trimmer is pointless and dangerous.

I had the new blades. I used to love Harry’s and just canceled my subscription. It pulls my hair now instead of cutting it, and it rusts crazy fast. The quality is not good anymore–but originally, the only thing better was a straight edge. My daughters used Harry’s as well as they were better than any “female oriented” razors they could buy—but they too now say they aren’t the same, have discontinued using Harry’s. Bummer. It was a great product that had an amazing fan base and they just had to try to make it better. Reminds me of the New Coke fiasco. blades are top notch..and last a long time on my course hair..I never had any rusting isuues with blades ..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. That depends on a such a wide range of variables, I don’t believe that anyone could give you an accurate answer to your question.

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.

My experience leads me to the conclusion that Gillette doesn’t have to feel threatened by the competition for shaving loyalty. What they do need to do is be sensitive to the retail price of their products, which seem ridiculous to me. They also should pay attention to the clever marketing by the smaller challengers. I experienced the exact same thing. The original blades, prior to the addition of the trimmer, cut through my beard like a hot knife in butter. The new trimmer version is downright awful and the trimmer can cut your nose quite easily when shaving the upper lip. I am finishing out my supplies and then moving on. 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. 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. I was sold on it till around the 3rd day. The blades noticeably started rusting. I guess to make em as cheap as they are they have to cut corners.

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. Hopefully, it will be as durable as the original blades, although I’m unable to comment on that just yet as I’ve only been shaving with the new blades for a week or so. Previously, I was able to eke out blade changes to once a month, by shaving only after showering around three to four times per week. I’ll update this review once I’ve been using the new blades for a while longer but, hopefully, the new blades will prove as durable as they are sharp. Harry’s Razors review: Verdict 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.I have been using Harry’s for almost a year-I shave in the shower and I have consistently had the best shaves with Harry’s that I have ever gotten, whether comparing other blades or various electric shavers that I have used over the past almost 40 years of shaving. 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. Thanks for the tip. I’ve talked to a couple of friends who have used shampoo or conditioner to shave with and they like it. I might try it, but I’m really loving my collection of shave creams!

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.

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. 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. I’ve been a DOllar discount shave since July 2015 and keep seeing Harry’s advertised thinking of trying. 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. Such is the approach of the new wave of subscription-based shaving products, and Harry’s Razors is at the vanguard. Originally set up to topple giants such as Gillette with promises of a simpler, more convenient approach and lower prices for replacement blades, Harry’s Razors claim to be “shaving’s other guys”. I set out to put that claim to the test. Harry’s Razors review: What you need to know
