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.

Pondered for a while, then took a gamble on the free trial plan. Very disappointed. The multi-blades are mounted in a too-flexible rubber/plastic head that makes it hard to shave anything but your cheek. Too big to work well on chin, jaw-line, above the upper lip. Thick gel clogs the blades and makes it hard to see where you have shaved.

Ordinary products with such subtle aromas you can barely smell them. Far superior and much cheaper alternatives elsewhere.

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've used Harry's before and never had issues, but this last time, I placed an order on 3/16 with an estimated delivery window of 3/25 - 3/28. That delivery window has passed, but still no delivery. For 10 days, shipping information says that USPS is awaiting receipt of the package. I've contacted CS several times, and the only response I've gotten was simply a link to tracking information. The CS rep never bothered to read my email or respond to my question. As of now, I'm out nearly $50 but have nothing to show for it and no other way to contact Harry's about it other than sending an email that gets ignored. Will not be ordering from them again.

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.

The Orange handled razer is badly designed as its not flexible enough to shave your moustache under your nose. There is always a small amount of stubble it just can't reach. This is nothing to do with the cost but functionality. In fact it is probably going to make me change to a more suitable practical design soon.

Great products and easy peasy service. It's particularly nice to be able to change quantity, delivery dates, and products your subscription orders.

Cut me for the 3rd time and I was hoping it would not cut me but it did. Not a close shave again. I will try again next week.

Tried Harry's razor and like the shave but the cartridge has soft hinges which wear out quickly. I get a month of shaves easily out of a Gillette cartridge whereas Harry's hinges are gone within 2 to 3 weeks. Blades still sharp but the blades just flop around without the hinges. Might go back to Harry's if they correct the hinge design problem.

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.

The ordering process was easy and they delivered there product. It seems to me they spent way more money on all their fancy packing and how to shave direction than the product itself. The razor handle is a poor design making hard to shave your upper lip and the razor is terrible. I had three cuts the first time using it and I never cut myself, it felt like it was ripping across my skin.

I will go back to my Gillette razor immediately.

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.

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.
