I tried the Harry's Truman set and compared it to my usual Gillette Mach3 blade, in a Gillette engraved handle that I bought in 2001 for around $75 (it now costs much more than that). The Truman handle was very good, with excellent balance and good weighting. The grippy engraving on the Gillette handle gave it the edge, but at a much higher cost. (Think of the Gillette as an investment that you only buy after you're certain that you like the blades). Despite the huge cost difference, I only consider the Gillette marginally better than the Harry's Truman handle.
I started with a fresh Harry's blade and a fresh Gillette blade and alternated daily, using the Harry's shaving cream. I blotted the blades dry after each usage. My beard is light, so I normally get about 3-weeks out of each blade. I pay around $1.82 per blade for the Gillette at Sam's and I understand that the Harry's replacements are around $2 each. The price difference is small and not significant to me.
On big problem with the Harry's is the lack of a trimming blade. The Gillette Mach 3 has a nice, sharp trimming blade that I find myself using in places that aren't smooth after a once-over. Other than that, the Harry's performed as well as the Gillette, but no better. The lack of a trimming blade put it at a disadvantage and then it didn't outshave the Gillette in order to make up for that short-coming.
It's a fine blade, but I'm sticking with Gillette.
Sometimes I cant always find just a single item online and I send a message to Harry's and they always reply the item number so it is easily found and I can order right then.
Great product at a great price. Much better than the nationally advertised brand I was using before.
I recommend Harry's because their blades last many shaves and I've always been satisfied with their service.
I am very happy with the quality, performance and convenience of Harry's. The price is also reasonable.

Will never buy regular retail blades again. Shipment is fast and flexible. Shaving cream is great too.
Top quality products, conveniently delivered to my home. I use the razors, shave cream, and the soap.

Razors are always consistently good and aftershave is a great finish! Excellent quality!
Timely reminders and shipping.
Great shave at a fair price. Hopefully, the company will avoid falling into the social commentary trap.
Great razor at a great price. Smooth shave and blades stay sharp longer. The whole family is using them. Keep up the good work
Best shave I have ever had. I love and use the whole product line, from body washes to shaving and it is all great.
Excellent product. The blades are just what I want. No problems. Convenient and well priced. I already have my wife and son-in-law using them.
Their products are well crafted and inexpensive! Never been disappointed! Packing is minimal and auto renew is perfect, don't have to think about it!
Great product great price. Tried a lot of other brands and they are not as good and more expensive. I'll be sticking with Harry's.
