Another advantage for Jeremy's Razors is that the cartridges don't clog up as easily as my old Harry's razor used to do.
Yes, the Harry's cartridges clog up easily. I always shave in the shower with hot water (never use other product), and have to use the stream on the shower head to clean out the blades on every pass.
@@BryantHayward67 Same, I have to use the "massage" stream to blast my beard hair out of it and that's shaving every other day. :/
I've also noticed that in recent months Harry's doesn't seem to get as close as it used to. I'm probably going to go back to single blade or double edge soon.
@@TehShadowDeath I finally switched to DB safety razor a couple of weeks ago, and I'm loving it! Takes a few days or so for your face to get used to it, but after the unintended nicks get healed up its SO much better than the junk disposable or cartridge systems!
And then you discover with DE you can do an entire shave without rinsing due to the well designed lather channels.
I've read the story of Jeremy's and refuse to buy Harry's. I've been wet shaving since 2013 and like the irritation free shaves I get. Love your reviews and I bought the Twig based on your review and love it.
Was a Harry's customer, use them to shave my head and clean my beard.
Had a bunch of their cartridges but now reaching the end so want to see what Jeremy's are really like. Online seems full of bots giving them really bad reviews or left wingers trashing them because they're not their politics. Appreciate a real review, thank you.
Heard about Harry’s on DW was irritated with Harry’s and have been with Jeremy’s since it launched. I know a single blade would be best but I’m not a razor snob and will support my boys at dw just because the market needs to be actually diversified
Jeremy's on your right, Harry's on your left. Clever.
The anti-woke message of Jeremy's is good enough reason for me to buy their product.
The commercial is hilarious. It's going to take guys like Jeremy and Elon Musk to kill woke. Elon told Disney to go f*** themselves. Jeremy made a non-woke Snow White movie that scared Disney into pushing the release date of theirs back a year.
Agrred
Me too Go woke, go broke. I ordered a Jeremy's today. I"d gift my Harry's to some CommiecRAT if I hadn't already blocked them.
I won't buy Harry's anymore... but Daily Wire is not a friend of real conservatives... Ben Shapiro has the interest of only one group in mind.
Not for me. Quality matters a lot. I hope their Gen 2 is better bc I tried Jeremy's v1 and didn't work well for me. Mach 3 was best for me. But I recently switched to DE safety razor and I'm liking it. Much cheaper in long run and more control with my Rockwell adjustable razor.
Once upon a time I was a Gillette guy for decades. Then due to their “toxic masculinity “ ads I dropped them cold. Tried Harry’s for a while, wasn’t impressed. For the past year or so I have been a DE guy and loving it. Tonight I saw the Jeremy’s ad for the first time. If I weren’t so committed to DE use I’d give Jeremy’ a try. Thanks for risking your face for the results.
Harry's has no lasting power and leave patches of hair uncut. I've had no other razor do that other that cheap one razor throw always.
My story's very similar to yours. Though, we don't have Harry's products in Australia, so for a little while after being put off Gilette, I was using Shick cartridges I think. But about a year and half ago, bought my first DE razor (just a cheap, unbranded thing I stumbled across one day) and have been blown away at just how much of a nicer shave they give. Less irritation, and a closer shave, less waste, and far less spend on blades. It really makes me wonder, how we got to a point in society, that we thought that the cheap, disposable, expensive, and painful cartridge razors were better than the classic double edge?
Same with me. As soon as Gillette started their shit, I dropped them
Same when telhey did that I dropped them screw Gillette and hell Harry's. before all the bs they both make great products but they drank the woke juice I went to Harry's but i didn't know Harry's pulled there ads or even was even a sponsor for the daily wire but then recently they did some shit with a transgender creator and now am going to saftey razors.
Sadly it’s hard to shave with DE and not support Gillette in some way still. A huge number of DE blades are still manufactured by them even if doesn’t appear so. Idc, I’m still going to use Gillette Nacet because all corporations hate men anyways
Officially buying Jeremy's for my teenage boys. Thank goodness for the Daily Wire.
Glad you've made this piece as Harry's politics was what brought me to DE shaving and Razor Emporiums tune-up & revamp services. Shows me you guys are paying attention. So this debate your uncovering is what ultimately made my shaving experience 100% better than it was when I was in the cartridge shaving doldrums. Please keep up the good work and looking forward to receiving my revamped fatboy really soon! Live long and shave well!
This went about as well as I expected😅 There really is no comparison between DE and cartridge razors. But you gotta wonder if Jeremy's has been able to put the hurt on Harry's, DSC and others in the market? I'm not a customer, but you gotta respect the ultimate clap back.
I switched to Harry's after the Gillette BS commercial. However, I noticed that the Harry's razors don't seem as sharp and don't last as long. I did try a Dorco's set before Harry's and the blades do seem sharper and last longer. Just wasn't fond of the bigger razor head on the Dorco. I prefer smaller cartridges because they are easier to sculp facial hair. I may try Jeremy's after this video because of Harry's going woke. Lol. Thanks for the video.
So funny. I found this video to see which razors work. We love DW and Jeremy and the gang are hilarious. This guy is a trooper! Thanks buddy for taking one for the team for us.
I've never double-edge shaved, always been a cartride guy. So, I can't compare it to that. I have also never used Harry's (I was using Gillette, for crying out loud). But I went to Jeremy's after learning of Harry's woke stance. I've never had a better shave than that I get with Jeremy's. So, I'm sticking with it. I've got some pretty stiff wiskers, but I get a baby's bottom smooth, face and neck. Not in one downhill swipe. You have to go back uphill against the grain, rinsing the blades thoroughly as you go. Fortunately I don't have an ingrown hair probelm.
I highly recommend getting a good double edge razor. I don't know anything about the Rex brand so I can't comment on that brand. I also use a barber style straight razor that uses double edge blades if I go a few days without shaving. I switched several years ago because of cost savings and not because of political BS. I also use a brush, cake of soap, and mug to lather up because I saw no reason to buy cans of shaving creme. I will never go back.
Thanks for this comment. I have been using Harry's. I did try Dollar Shave and it was terrible. I was afraid to switch to Jeremy's because of the bad experience with Dollar Shave. I will order Jeremy's. I just like the gel of Harry's.
I would say for the safety razor (double edge razor) to me is the best shave I ever gotten the cartage razor can be close but not entirely comfortable even shaving with a disposable one or two blade razor to be is better than the other carriage razor by comfort and with the safety razor I shave a lot of money buying the blades for it but 50 blades for the safety razor for 10 dollars and don’t have to buy more for a year than spending 30 to 20 dollars on refills of cartage razor so I go by safety razor I recommend to try it and try wet shaving to because a shaving cream in a can cause more razor burn than it does with a razor which is my opinion to try safety razor if not stay with cartage razor.
I agree on the against the grain shave. Like you, I don't get the ingrown hairs so I shave in all directions since my hair grows in all directions. I still use the same Gillette handle I got in boot camp over a decade ago though and am on the last box of cartridges I bought for it. Once those are gone I plan to toss it and try Jeremy's.
So, at 66 years old, I just rediscovered DE shaving this year after 50 years of cartrige abuse. Yeah, I bought the propaganda. I love my R.E. 1956 flare-tip refurb! Thank you!
And thank you especially for keeping politics out of cutting hairs off of faces.
As someone who would go without shaving before using a cart, it is still cool to see these comparison videos. I understand that not everyone wants to dive into this niche hobby/rabbit hole so you covering the box store options and giving tips for people who do prefer that route. Cheers! Great video as always!

@@RazorEmporium no wayyyyy! That’s phenomenal. Been meaning to buy one for a hot minute. Thanks a ton! I will email! 🙌🙌🙌
Long time Harry’s user. Switched to DE Gillette Fatboy. Supporter of DW. Thought the Jeremy’s video was great. Ordered Jeremy’s razors to support effort. Honestly, never used them. Happy to see this shave off. Go RE!
I’ve used to use Harry’s, but I stopped using them because of their politics. I was somewhat interested in Jeremy’s razor, but I ended up getting a Rex Konsul XL instead. There’s no way I’m going back to a cartridge razor now!
I do appreciate you providing great shaving products without the politics, I use your lavender soap almost everyday.
Tell me you are a right winger without telling me you are a right winger.... you are soooo delusional.... im not racist but... white trash be like that though.
@@wildandcrazyevents4513 You’re entitled to your opinion, but not my money. I work 60+ hours a week and if I decide not to shop somewhere, your rude comments definitely won’t change my mind.
I looked that thing up and my jaw broke from it hitting the floor. $350 - $400 for a razor? That is absolute insanity. And you owe me a new jawbone, my man.
@@BPoweredLove I personally think it’s 100% worth it, I probably won’t buy another razor for the rest of my life. But if someone has never used a safety razor, I would definitely recommend something less expensive like a Merkur 34c and that’s still a very nice razor.
Great side by side! I was a DSC guy. It was getting so much more expensive. Recently learned about DE blades and wet shaving. I've been converted! Still working on my technique but, man am I enjoying my shaves so much more! Saw the viral video and was thoroughly entertained by it's premise. However, not enough to go backwards to cartridge shaving. My ultimate goal would be to save up for the Rex. Looks like a fantastic razor! Keep up the great shaves Matt!
Totally cool videos Matt! Loved the H vs J highlight with the old Gillette story thrown in. Loved the Rex coming in at the end to rescue your neck!! If I ever outgrow my vintage Gillette phase, as well as my explanding straight razor training, your Rex is looking real good! Thanks for the video! Stan
I was a Harry's customer, got turned off by their politics. But at that time, I'd gone back to having a beard. Jeremy hadn't come out with his at that time. I picked up a cheap double edge razor and some blades, as I still shave a few stray hairs around the edges. Love the double edge. It's what I learned on in high school.
I'm a huge fan and subscriber of the Daily Wire so I was leaning towards supporting Jeremy's, but I gotta say, you can't deny that Rex was the clear winner in this video
Gotta say I love your videos and while I was researching the Supply SE razors I found your channel. I swore off shaving after I got out of the Army, I used to HATE shaving but thanks to channels like yours and great products like Supply and other brands you showcase I finally enjoy shaving again, after 13 years without a razor touching my face! Thanks for the great comparisons!
Nice post about a great review. It's really nice to see a guy who sells DE razors give a truly unbiased positive review about essentially a competitor.
@@jackblah5842 I’ve since picked up a Konsul from Rex! Great company!
Great video! I like the fact that you are willing to try the cartridge side of things for those that use them. I occasionally use cartridge razors for a quick shave or for the back of my neck and shoulder areas. I, like you, prefer DE razors. I recently picked up a Gillette Fatboy at an antique store for just $10!!! It cleaned up great and works wonderfully!! I also picked up from ebay a Gillette Old Type open comb for just $10 total price with case! DE is the way to go for cost savings and better enjoyment! Thanks for the video! Jim
I’ve seen the Jeremy’s razor ad and thought it was great ad but sorry I much prefer a DE. I used to use a DSC cartridge and saw a review of a Dorco razor and it looked exactly the same as my DSC. I love how with a DE it just mows through a weeks work of thick stubble like nothing. The rivalry reminds me of the Ferrari Lamborghini rivalry. Lamborghini makes tractors and suggested an improvement for a part of Ferrari cars. Ferrari told him to pound sand and Lamborghini basically said I’ll show you and started producing cars.
I think Jeremy is chasing the cartridge market which is probably worth $20 billion globally but when more men start to realize that DE is much cleaner, easier and less painful that market will just surge.
I don't know why exactly (but I can guess at it) RUclips recommended this video to me, but here I am - late 40s male here. Watched your whole video, and found you to be as apolitical as anyone not living under a rock can be today. Thank you for being as neutral as you can be. I wish you success in all you do; we need more people like you.
Because you asked, I saw the Gillette anti-masculinity ad campaign and saw how other companies were doing the same thing, just more quietly. I'm not a parallel economy guy at heart, but stuff like that has warmed me to the idea. I don't love everything Daily Wire does, but I sure appreciate that they are swimming against the new current of woke values that have metastasized everywhere in business in the last couple of years.
In summary, good to know Jeremy's Razors is a good product. I hope they splash some cold water on the woke stuff in that particular industry. But even if they do... only a zillion more industries to go after that. :)
I switched from cartridge to double edge razors a couple years ago. I agree there’s no comparison. A double edge is so much more enjoyable. Love the videos!
Double blade is best, I use bic or schick slim twin, both give a great shave.
Thanks for this helpful clip Matt
I left Harry's... and I'm not going back. Over 4 decades ago I started with electric shavers and then cartridge blades... that's all I ever knew. The high cost of Gillette sent me to DSC and then to Harry's. The whole time, it was a mediocre shave and no fun. Harry's 'remarks' reminded me that I can choose who I do business with. I'm just so tired of politics being infused into every aspect of my life. So... after finishing my supply of Harry's cartridges I looked elsewhere. And DE shaving it was! Matt's videos and enthusiasm were instrumental in helping me decide to try DE shaving! Wow... how come it took me so long to get here! DE shaving has made a once mundane task fun and pleasurable! I'll never go back to cartridge shaving and Harry's again! Oh... and not only is DE shaving better, it's cheaper and more eco-friendly! Thanks Harry's for 'forcing' me towards DE shaving! And thanks Matt for all your great videos!
I’d like to see a second test with these razors using the same pre-shave preparation on both sides. That way, you’re just comparing razors and not software. I did see the Jeremy’s video, funny to say the least. I’m DE all the way, but the vast majority of men use a cartridge. The cartridge requires almost no skill, it’s easy, fast, and difficult to nick oneself.
Cartridge requires no skill but gives a horrible shave. I suspect down the line if Jeremys take off they will enter the DE market.
Eight months ago I bought Harrys with two blades. It's great. I use a razor buddy to sharpen the blade. I've been using the same blade for the last eight months.
Morning Matt. I like how you showed how efficient a DE razor can be over a cartridge razor. Just picked up a REX Envoy and am anxiously awaiting it’s arrival.
Take and be safe. Enjoy your weekend.
If you told me 3 months ago that I'd be watching videos on RUclips of a guy shaving and it wasn't part of brain re-programing ala A Clockwork Orange, I'd have said you needed your brain re-programed ala A Clockwork Orange...but here we are... I was thoroughly entertained by your obvious reluctance to shave with either one of these razors-- laughed out loud, actually.
I have used a Harry's razor, and the experience is what started me down the DE path-- saw a Henson razor ad and ordered one from you after watching your review, then ordered 2 more as gifts. Saw the Jeremy's ad and loved it, but I'll never go back to cartridges-- if they ever do a DE, I'm in.
Great video Matt! I’m 5 years now into Wet shaving and will NEVER go back to cartridges! And I’m having Fun!👍😊
I'm using Jeremy's now. Used Harry's for about 8 years until 3 months ago. Not a big fan of either one. Never had an enjoyable shave with a Gillette style razor in the last 40 years, About to take a journey into your world by purchasing a starter kit from you today. Looked at a lot of sites and yours so far is the most informative, funny site and your's not trying to push something.
For round 20 years I shaved with cartridge razors (mostly Gillette and Wilkinson) and only 2 months ago switched to a DE razor, and never looked back. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner
I got the "founders" kit from Jeremy's when they announced, mainly because I wanted to support the Daily Wire. Up until then I used a Gillette Fusion on a handle from "Art of Shaving" along with the Art of Shaving cream with a AOS brush to apply. A few observations on the Jeremy's.
1. After about 2 months the finish on the handle flaked of almost completely, It started to pull up around the rubber grip and I was able to just use my thumb to rub the rest off. Pretty sketchy.
2. The plastic on that holds the blades is too thick, because of this it's more difficult to tell when you are getting close to any facial hair or sideburns, so it's harder to line yourself up. Apparently they added a single blade on the back of the cartridge to help this, but I don't have any of those blades yet.
3. Jeremy's needs to add color to their lube strip, the white strip does a horrible job of letting you know when it's time to change blades.
4. Jeremy's shave cream don't lather anywhere near enough. I emptied the tube into a tub so I could properly use my beard brush, and it still sucked.
The cartridge and handle are serviceable enough, but nothing to write home about.
You Daily Wire guys crack me up. You post on a site run by a red blooded American making stellar products in the good 'ole U S of A and go on about how disappointed you are in the cheap Chinese crap that you got hoodwinked into buying based on social fears. And yes this morning I ran a REX Ambassador across my face right before I put on my Wesco boots.
Yeah, neither of those products looked particularly enticing. Plus 50-60 bucks! You could get a great DE starter kit with that. A merkur razor (and many others), shaving brush and soap. Im just sorry it took the lockdown to turn me on to de shaving. Its gone from a chore that i would absentmindedly do in the shower to an activity I actually enjoy. It takes a while for your face to get used to it and to learn the technique and you will have the odd nick but its such a pleasant ritual. Im 50 this year, i must put some hints in for a Rex (as a present) with the missus.
It took some good advertising from Supply Razor Co. for me to look into an alternate shaving method because cartridges were making my skin itch so bad with razorburn and in-grown hairs for years and years, and I didn't know there was an alternative. I hated shaving so much, but after switching to single-edge and then DE shaving...I have absolutely fallen in love with this hobby and have gotten so much over the past few months since I started earlier this year. Better yet, I feel so much better and my face doesn't nearly itch or irritate me as much.
@@Kenoji8 Amen brother.
@@Kenoji8 I learned from Mat, Geo fat boy, and Tony from Mediamart channel who calls himself the average guy. I watched them every night in my relax time late in November last year then bought my first de beginners razor from Vikings Blade called the Chieftain Jr ( it's affordable) and some Gillette Platinum blades because they are smooth and sharp. I still use Proglide with sensitive skin shave gel when I travel.
@@misterlexx2721 -- That's great! I honestly just dove right into DE shaving after using the Supply razor a bit and hearing about double edge a bit later. That's when I discovered Geo and Matt. I did a looooottt of research and watching videos and the Rockwell 6C was my first DE razor. After a while, I ditched the Supply razor and went full boar with DE shaving. I own a 6C, 6S, and a RR Game Changer (w/ both .68 SB and .68 OC plates), about 5 brushes (2 boar, 3 synthetic), 8 shave soaps and creams...and I've only been in this for about eight months. Best choice I've ever made in my life.
Maybe Jeremy will at some point do a safety razor made in America and for a subscription razor blades and other products would be provided or a one of buy. I suppose jeremy is trying to focus on the existing cartridge market.
Used to shave with Harry’s switched to Rex about 2 years ago. Never going back. Thinking of picking up another Rex
I gave my Harry’s kit that I bought at Costco to my wife a long time ago. DE is where is at.
I always hated to shave and have used all kinds of different cartridge razors, (including Harry's) disposable and electric razors and many years ago a DE but with all with shave foam. I started using a DE and traditional wet shaving and now I enjoy it. Trying to master using a Shavette also. I look forward to seeing my revamped 41 Tech Ranger when you are done with it.
Thanks for all the great videos.
Did straight shaving in my 30's(20 years ago), but it took too much time and I didn't like maintaining the blade. Didn't know DE was a thing until recently. Ordered a MÜHLE kit and looking forward to it arriving and giving that a run.
I started using Jeremy's razors about a month ago and the Jeremy's is an easy win. Harrys is loosing bigly like bud lite.
Great video! Big fan of Jeremy’s move with razors.
Used Harry's for years and still carry what I have leftover on planes (or a Mac3 or Skinguard)). Harry's has always had the issue that the blades are very close together and clog easily. The only cartridge that gives me a DE-type shave and is comfortable is the Skinguard - which is easily the best cartridge I have used in decades of shaving.
I'm proud of Jeremy for standing up for his beliefs.... Thats good enough for me!
I've used Harry's because could not find a good razor, but they are making me rethink using their product. Jeremys look like it might be ok, But that REX razor, just WOW. That might be my next razor!!!!!!!
Would love a t-shirt 3XL would be my size!!!!
I have been a Harrys customer for about 12 years, but last week was the last straw. I got another bottle of shave balm for the 12 th time, Made my normal call to customer service telling them I dont like or use it and since the person I was speaking to had no method of fixing my problem, I said how about if you cancel my service. She replyed in a flat voice I will cancel it for you and we hung up...What a way to run a business. Eric N
I have a Jeremy's, but I have since moved on to a Henson's AL13.
I enjoyed your cartridge razor showdown. Basically, neither cartridge razor can compete with a quality DE safety razor. With the resurgence of traditional wet shaving, I can't understand why cartridge wet shavers are so stubborn about giving DE shaving a shot. I almost always get close, comfortable, irritation-free BBS shaves with my Rockwell 6S. I like the motto "just shut up and shave". Leave politics to the other venues. BTW, I had never heard of Jeremy's until your video.
thanks for the side by side test, i have used harrys razor i got the handle and 1 cartridge and didn't like it at all, the best cartridge system i found was the Gillette mach 3 but i never went back to them after using a good DE set up
It's Jeremy Boreing: Chief Executive Officer of The Daily Wire
I used Harry’s for a couple years before making the switch to wet shaving. I started out with a Henson and then purchased a Rex Ambassador. I’ve since acquired some Vintage Gillettes and had some revamped in Rhodium. And then of course all the soaps and aftershaves. I’m never looking back.
I had an old gillette hand be down from my father and did not use it for years just took it out recently cleaned it had a shave and realized how amazing it was.
Fun Video, Thanks!
Never saw one of your videos, didn’t want to commit to an 18 min video but gave it a shot. Just ordered Jeremy’s as I was switching from Harry’s and was looking for a review:
Gotta say, watched the whole video, loved it, liked and subscribed! Take care brother!
Happy to hear! Quality content takes time
My brother gifted me a Harry's and I love it, I don't have smooth skin, I even have acne marks, but I can easily shave with out feeling resistance, I glides smoothly. But I would definitely love to try one of your products.
was this using the precision 5 or the smooth 6 by any chance? Thank you for the review!
Appreciate your stuff Matt. We aren’t journalist's but I think you're talking about the Hulk Hogan defamation suit.
When Jeremy's made their intro into the market, a bunch of guys were begging for a DE version. Thanks for the video.
I saw the video regarding Jeremy's razors from a guy friend and it was interesting. Your video and the comments are giving me a guide to what to buy my guy friends for Christmas, thanks. 🙌
Used to use Harry's. Liked the razor cause it was similar to the Gillette fusion. Cartridge razors were causing razor burn, so I bought a DE starter kit from you. Love it and wish I had switched years ago.
I bought your Rex Envoy one year ago best razor ever used, bought all the popular Gillette de razors but only use your Envoy now thanks Matt
Great and HONEST review, which is much appreciated! That is very rare these days. I must say you are entertaining and honest. I was thinking of getting Jeremy's but my face is very sensitive so I think I'm going to try shaving the "right way" for a shave-- Rex here I come 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm with you, if I used a cartridge it would be Jeremy's, but I prefer DE shaving.
I loved this! It turned out exactly how I would have liked!
I’m still using my father’s old razor from the 60s I think.
I remember the Daily Wire campaign and the ad... I thought it was an excellent response.
That said, I really don't intend to use a cartridge ever again... "The horror! The horror!"
A fair and reasonable review. Now I'm questioning if I want to return to shaving or keeping a short beard I can trim with any old electric razor.
I got a massive set of Harry's razors before their DW pull. Didnt appreciate but I wont throw away money : )
they've been lasting me a loong time and am happy. May try a double edge after this vid
Great unbiased review, thanks, my takeaway: both are bad 😂. Love the envoy, that is my daily driver!
I LOVE SHAVING SO MUCH!!! - Matt 😂
Combine Anti-Wokeness, razor burn and the need/desire to shave everyday,(Also nostalgia) you get me switching to wet shaving. So far running a Merkur 23c with a Simpsons trafalgar, La Toja shave stick and Van Der Hagen aftershave balm. Actually like the aftershave but the soap is a bit thirsty and still haven't mastered it, I'd like to switch to cella I think but I got to get through it to justify it😉
Here to see the comparo. Ive been looking to switch to Jeremys from Harrys (current). As a guy who shaves the face and head, any tips on the REX and DE for head shaving? Definitely interested, but skeptical of DE shavers for the head.
Jeremy's Razors ad is what led me to you.
Thanks for taking one for the team Matt. I personally would not put that crap (razor and cream) anywhere near my face. After three years of owning an Ambassador I am saving money and being kinder to the environment too. Hope the Ingrow hairs will not be too bad👍
My Rex Envoy has allowed me to throw out cartridge razors entirely and look forward to shaving on a daily basis. Along with learning how to load a brush with quality soap for skin prep. Shaving is a Zen experience for me now and forever.
I too switched from Harry's to Jeremy's due to all the woke crap. I've gone through 3 blades now so I think I can do a decent eval. My experience is the Jeremy's shaves closer with fewer strokes. I like the Jeremy's shave better. I don't have heavy whiskers, probably about average. I'm not the beard growing type as the density isn't good enough.. Plus I have a baby face... There is however a "but". The Jeremy's handle sucks. I'm a shower shaver, when the handle gets wet, it's is almost impossible to hold on to. Not sure who the designer was but they obviously didn't try to use the prototype or production model when their hands were wet. The Jeremy's blade is interesting, it is a 6 blade but they are grouped in pairs so it's three groups of two with a slightly wider spacing between the pairs. The Harry's are evenly spaced. That uneven spacing on the Jeremy's is probably what caused a bit more pulling for me than the Harry's. However as mentioned it did shave closer. If the handle wasn't so slippery on the Jerry's I'd choose it over the Harry's regardless of the woke BS.
I'm very happy for you and your company 🙏🙌🤘
This is the very first time I have ever heard of Jeremy's.
I can't imagine being curious enough to want to try either of those razors.
Having said that, my mum sent me the Harry's balm and I must say that it is a great product.
He mum…. Lol
If you haven't already, you should watch the Jeremy's video anyway. It's a hoot.
You have to understand the backstory of Jeremy's. Jeremy Boreing at Daily Wire.
excellent video, this is great.
I've got part of a big pack of the Harry's left from when they were still a DW sponsor because I was annoyed with Gillette and Schick performance..... Reckon when that runs out I'll swap over to some double edge thing (I'll save the video and see if I remember where to look for recommendations on it by then lol) because cartridges of all brands have just been so annoying I'm not even willing to go to Jeremy's.
Today's shave will be a DE shave and Rex Enovy is in the rotation. I have used Dorco and Harry's did not convince me to stop using DE razors.
Great video and interesting video
Great shameless plug in the end Matt 😂 Saw the video but never used either. Did the pass arounds on the Rex and Konsul. LOVE the Konsul but out of my reach unfortunately.(Not a knock on price, just my situation) Take care !
Double edge shaver here. Love and use Jeremy’s gel though!
Nick from England here. Harry’s, etal are peddling a myth that multi blades are better than a DE. Listen to Matt (Obi-Wan) try a De, use a brush and proper shaving soap…and once you get the knack of it, you will never go back, trust me!
Haven't used any of the cartridge razors, but it was a funny commercial
Loved the Jeremy video. But wouldn't use either Harry or Jeremy on a bet. Konsul or Ambassador all the way!
I bought the Merkur Razor double-edge safety razor 39c, Chrome in 2013 and use it daily along with Astra Platinum Double Edge Safety Blades,100 Count for $8.50, and still, have 43 left after all these years. It is a beast to start out with, you will cut yourself, but after a while, you get the feel and will love it. I paid $50 for it, and $65 now.
I've noticed Harry's cartridges last about 2 weeks. If you have multiple days of stubble, it clogs quickly and is impossible to clean. I have also had the blades separate on occasion.
Your videos are very entertaining 😁
I really love the Rex Konsul. It’s my go to razor.
I saw the Jeremy's ad and found your video looking for reviews. Now I have to look up double edge...
Rex with the mic drop at the end! Boom!
I am in process to change from Harry's/any cartridge to safety razors double edge razors. Waiting for my razor burn and ingrown hairs to grow out and calm down. Trying all new products for facial care. I was a Barbasol cartridge shaver but trying something new. Many years of a red raw neck.
Here to help.
My Son's all use Harry's as their Uncle is affiliated with the NBA and they received Harry's shaving gift sets. I always used Gillette, but tried Jeremy's after listening to an Ad on the Ben Shapiro Show. I did it as my own little protest and show of solidarity with Jeremy's and their reason for existing. I wasn't overly impressed with Jeremy's, but may try a product shown here on the Razor Emporium.
"Shameless Plug"... No way bro, absolutely no comparison! REX DE razors are so far above the cartridge razor it's embarrassing. Of course there's a plethora of DE/SE razors(I have too many)available from mild to wild and the reasons cartridge razor users don't switch are: uneducated, scared or just plain lazy..they can't fall back on cost as "carts" are way more expensive over time and the waste factor is astonishing. After a couple years of experimentation in my 20's, I went back to DE, injector razor shaving as the results were far better in every respect and never looked back. Great video Matt, appreciate your efforts in all things shaving😉 Enjoy!
I had to shave in the military and before then. I used Harry's before and the tugging and then having to shave a few times to get it clean was murder. This is the first video I seen on Jeremy's versus Harry's
I just watched Jeremy's video/add yesterday and liked it. I have NEVER tried a cart w more than 3 blades.....; and yes I shave for now full head and face - goatee. Yes: DE better.
I'm about to go all in with Jeremy's 2nd Gen razor that just released.
I want to like Jeremy’s razor for all reasons mentioned, plus it’s named after me, but it pulls and is uncomfortable. The blade doesn’t last as long either. Harry’s just works better for me. Obviously to each their own. Maybe I’ll try the double edge and see how that turns out!
Love Jeremy's!
