Harry's

My hubby got a starter set for Christmas but likes the razor he has, so he passed it on to me. I used it in the shower and I can't believe the amount of friction this thing creates. I've literally never had such an uncomfortable shave. I also cut myself in the back of my calf, that's hard to do, for the first time since I was a beginner leg shaver. My leg was not smooth after shaving, even with and oil to lubricate. I switched to the three day old, disposable, Gillette (3 blade) razor and got better results. Pretty pathetic.

Cant fault them on presentation, fast shipping etc, but blade quality just isn't there. Tried for the first time today and it was like i was using a month old Gillette, dragged, couldn't get anywhere near a close shave and that's with a fresh blade.

I tremendously enjoyed Harry's first generation blades. It was the best shaving experience for me because the razor glided so smoothly on my skin. Then the new generation blades arrived and my shaving experience has totally changed. The new blades are not very good as I cut myself few times with them, which had never happened with the first generation blades and I don't have a sensitive skin. I probably will not order from Harry's again and that's too bad.

By the time I pay shipping and foreign exchange, these blades price themselves out of the market. $24.00 for 8 blades is $3.00 each. This may be my last order as I see no advantage in your value proposition.

Razor blades are super sharp and offer a great shave, but they rust VERY quickly. My blades need to be changed once every 2-3 shaves, and I dont leave my razor in the shower. I will discontinue and look at other brands. Its very disappointing to pick up a rusty razor when you are out of replacements.

The blade did the job, nothing great but acceptable considering the price compared to other blades. Now after a half dozen or so shaves the blade has gone completely dull. When the remaining blades fail I'll be going back to my old razor.

Have trialled these products for several months and have to say that whilst delivery has been good, the product is nowhere near as good as my Gillette products. The Blades don't give as close a shave and they definitely don't last nearly as long. I also have to agree with others who have complained about the trimmer blade, which is a complete liability. When trying to shave the tricky area below my nose, I have cut myself several times and this should just not happen. Also, ergonomically, the shavers just aren't well designed as they are awkward to grip when wet - or at least they are for anyone who doesn't have tiny Trump-like hands! So, any cost saving is simply not worth it and in actual fact there is no saving as the products don't last as long. Sorry guys.

Like many - I was taken in by the slick marketing and promise of saving £££ on my shaving. The product is AWFUL.

The shave is not close enough at all. Still have stubble after shaving which you cant remove. Cant shave under bottom lip or under nose due to poor blade angles. Terrible! Same goes for Bold King.

I tried Harry's a few years ago and loved them. Great razors and blades. The razor felt great in my hand and the blades were the best by far. But I have noticed that the quality has really slipped recently. I needed to get a new razor so I ordered one and found it far lighter and more cheaply made than my original Harry's razor. The blades often poo off while I'm shaving. And the blades only last a couple of shaves now. I used to get at least a week out of them. It makes me wonder if they sold the company to another corporation, or if they've lowered the quality to cut expenses. I recently forgot my razor while on a trip and picked up a Gillette at the market. It was so much better. Harry's used to be way better than Gillette. I miss the old Harry's.

My Schick Hydro5 shaves better after three weeks use than a brand new Harry's. You get what you pay for

I've always shaved with a Schick Hydro 5 but I got frustrated paying so much for blades. So I purchased the Harry's razor with refills. The first time I shaved with the Harry's razor I felt like I was dragging 40 grit sand paper over my face. It was not smooth at all and the blade to handle angle is odd and uncomfortable. I figured I had a bad blade so I put in a new one... same rough shave. I'm done with Harry's and I plan to try Dollar Shave Club. If that doesn't work out I'll go back to the Schick Hydro 5 which was outstanding.

I searched for reviews on Harry's before I purchased and found glowing reviews on appeared to be shaving review sites so I purchased the largest pack of razors available as well as the starter kit. I liked the idea of getting something good from a company other than a major brand.

I was excited when they came in and was looking forward to getting good shaves while saving a little money from the major brand I had been using for years. Unfortunately I found my first shave rather rough. More akin to lightly dragging sand paper across my skin.

I recalled a couple decades ago when I tried a electric razor is suggested giving it a few weeks for the bear to adjust do the different shaving so I did. Went past the return period and found no improvement.

Since I went past the return period I kept using them since I am not one to waste money. I used all but 1 blade. That is 16 blades plus whatever came in the starter kit except one. When I went back to my major brand I was reminded what a smooth shave feels like and will be more careful before trying a different product again.

With how much longer the major brand delivers a smooth shave for me I think I save money with them.

Thinking back over the years the best comparison to shaving with Harry's would be a 2 blade disposable. Granted, Harry's is probably better but that is the best I can think of.

BTW, I would have given it 1 star but it does actually shave so it does meet the minimum expectations for such a product.

I had been a member for a couple of years now. The last two batches of razors, began giving me lots of ingrown hairs. I mentioned this to customer service, and they offered me 4 free razor blades. I think it was time to switch brands anyway.

Harry's Customer-Experience-Rep response to my review "Poor Construction" means that after 50 yrs of shaving I need a video to re-learn how to shave? Really?! I need to learn a new shaving angle or shave so lightly that the blade barely touches my face in order to keep the cartridge from losing its rigidity! Sounds like "alternative facts" to me!

Very disappointed in these clumsy razors... they don't contour well on chin and other outer edges, and the single trimming blade is angled poorly so cuts below my nose when trying to trip top of moustache area. The savings are not worth the bleeding, I'm going back to Fusion.

There is an unguarded trimmer blade on the top of the blade unit. If you move the razor backwards towards your ear when shaving beneath the ear, or your nose when shaving the top lip you a have a good chance of cutting yourself badly. It should be on the front, pointing downwards like the other blades, to make it safe. Better still, get rid of it completely. The rubber handle gets quite slick and slippery when coated with shaving gel (as is inevitable). Overall, flawed and dangerous design, which is a shame because otherwise it gave a good close shave.

I was quite excited to get started with Harry's and liberated from Gillette-slavery. I noticed right away that the Harry's blades did not seem as sharp as Gillette's, with more tugging on my skin while shaving and not as close a shave. Oh well, I thought, it's worth it to save some money. But as it turns out, I get a lot more shaves from my Gillette Trac-3 blade than from a Harry's blade, so it doesn't even save me money. I'm sure this all would vary depending on one's skin, but for me, I wouldn't recommend the product.

I started using Harry's after seeing their ads and not wanting to pay the high price for Gillette. I was hopeful because the ads are well done and they talk about German engineering. Don't believe it. This is a cheaply made razor. It's all plastic and has a very cheap feel. It's perhaps a step up from a disposable in that regard. The shave isn't bad I admit. I can get a close shave but at a cost, serious razor burn! The lube strip is practically worthless! The blades don't last long either. I heard that the older design was better. I can't attest to that, but this design is not worth repeating.

I have been using Harrys products for about 4 years. I have noticed a change in quality.The blades dont give a close shave, and cut too much skin. Side note to other reviews, Don't leave the blades in the wet shower, they wont rust.

I started out with a years supply and shortly after saw the new blades had the trimmer blade. Was looking forward to a new order but into my second blade I have to agree with most reviews the new blades suck because of the pulling. I am getting way less shaves with the new blades so maybe that's why the change! If there isn't an improvement in the near future this will be my last order.

Been receiving Harry's in the mail now for a couple of years now. Grey product always get a email prior to shipment in case I want to delay shipment any. Can't say enough good stuff about there products.

I really wanted to like this product. I purchased a starter kit at Target and also subscribed to Harry's service. First shave was very nice. Second shave had my neck looking like I had some horrible bleeding pustule disease. Glad I did not use this before an interview. I'll stick with my Gillette Fusion 5s -- they seem to be better for sensitive necks...

While I think Harry's gives you a smoother shave overall the down side is the nicks and cuts and lack of pivot to your face. I have cut myself more in the last 3 months and than in the last 3 years or more. Trim blade on top is down right dangerous. I really wanted this to work but I am going back to Gillette.
