Harry's Razor Blades Refills - Razors for Men - 8 Count

Product Information

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. 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.

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.

I shave in the shower so my rather heavy beard is softened after my usual bath. I used the Harry’s razor with Noxzema shave cream which has a lot of lanolin in it. I knew from the the first pass that the razor wasn’t what I was looking for, it just didn’t cut closely. Four or five passes later I called it it quits, I had razor burn and detectable stubble, not near the close shave I had gotten with a Pro Fusion razor. 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! 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. 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’ve been a DOllar discount shave since July 2015 and keep seeing Harry’s advertised thinking of trying.

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. 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. 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.. 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. 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.

A convenient and well-priced alternative to the big-name brands but hardly revolutionary

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.

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. 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.

The Shave

While Gillette and DSC are going for the “bro, frat, athlete” market, Harry’s is shooting for the guy who wears a suit, or at least a button-down shirt to work. Do they deliver? Let’s dive in! 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. 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.
