Great review. I’m sure the shaving purists will have a problem with this even though you also use a double edge razor and traditional products, but always use what works best for you, doesn’t matter what it is. Hope to see more shaving videos. Cheers, Christian
Mine too I tried Harry's today Im sold on them no razor burn no bumps on my face chest or stomach. No hair poking through at all completely clean shave
Great review, never tried Harry's but will give them a go after this. Men don't want too much choice when it comes to grooming, bit like going clothes shopping, get what you're after and get the hell out....
I find with my own neck hairs, Tony, that I have to shave down on my neck to get an irritation free and razor burn free shave on my neck. Shaving my neck upwards really causes me lot of irritation and razor burn. I shave my neck straight down, straight down at a slight angle on both sides of my neck, then I shave across the grain really works best for me.
These things suck, I don’t use these anymore. I especially hate that their manufacturing is not environmentally sane. Dumping micro plastics into the oceans.
well...when my package gets to your door...you might go back to a even OLDER razor (which I am on the 3rd month...)..Technically...your foam "mousse"......IS THE FRENCH TRANSLATION BOI!....just like Nivea Men's Cream...
I hate these thing. Complete garbage in my opinion, unconformable just drags and pulls, cuts the hell out of me, and doesn't shave the hair close enough. Tired going up, down, sides ways, and diagonal. But still can't get them to shave close enough. I like my face smooth as a baby's ass, but I can still feel patches from where it didn't get close enough, no matter which way I used it or how ever many times I tried. I'll just stick with Schick.
@@averageguytested DE Shave? No never heard of it. If its the real "old timey" looking things I've thought about those a few times, but I do my shaving while Im in the shower not sure if keeping them in a wet environment like that would rust them up or something. But then again, I leave the other Razors in the shower and they seem fine so maybe I'll be ok.
@@TEHSTONEDPUMPKIN Wouldn't Recommend. Just old ass tech that slices up your face. It also takes twice as long to get the smoothness of a cartiridge razor.
Harry’s is a tough try going from the protection of the Gillette razor, but if you focus on good technique and take it slow Harry’s provides a great shave.
Ordered the trail pack. I love my Phillips Oneblade, but sometimes I want a closer shave that that gives me even when I use shaving cream with it. Never used a cartridge razor before so I'll see how I get on, my father always used an electric razor so he never taught me!
@@averageguytested picked up a Mach3 turbo 3D in store today, it was on sale and not like I can spend my money on other things at the moment. Still waiting for my Harry's package to arrive. Had a shave with the Mach3 and considering it was the first time I'd used a cartridge razor it was a nice shave, just 1 pass with the grain to start off with.
I really dig these shaving videos you make Tony. Simple, but informative and thorough. I agree with you on the simple products. When a product is expertly designed and performs it’s intended purpose, it doesn’t need lots of fluff or have to cost a lot. Thanks for taking the time to show us not only this product, but a link to other products you’ve reviewed. If it’s used by Tony, it’s been tested and it’s good enough for me. Hell, I even feel a little manlier after watching this vid. Thanks Tony!
Another great review! I went back to Harry's as well. Simple and easy is key. I've tried that Gillette mousse as well. Pretty nice stuff. You can't beat the price either. A little goes a long way. Harry's shave gel is good too but a bit more pricey.
I like your casual presentation style for the video, you also give an honest view of what to expect instead of just discussing the benefits of this system. I'll get back to you and let you know how it worked for me.
Excellent review straight, simple , to the point. Used Gillette for years recently switched to Harry's.glad I did inmho. Used with cremo shaving cream I get a no knick close clean shave. Harry's is definitely top shelf product. Inmho
Tony, the foam mousse is pretty smooth. I agree, it works well with the Harry's razor, especially for rinsing. Super easy. No clogging at all with the mousse as it rinses clean. As you said, Harry's has a pretty solid product. You just can't go wrong with something that works well. Especially a classic like Gillette Foamy. It's still on store shelves for a reason.
That stuff he said about his papa in the beginning reminds me of mine. He worked his whole life, was a kind of quiet but funny guy, and was a real man.
theMediaMart same here. My grandfather was a veteran of three major wars, he served 26 years in the army and was never the type of guy who could not work. He grew up working during the depression and when he got out of the army he got a regular job at a car dealership in the parts department for 25 years. He was a workaholic lol. He died when he was 92 in 2017
I did a self comparison with Harry's v. DSC. I preferred the Harry's razor to DSC. Did two shaves, one with DSC/Harry's with Harry's Shave Gel. The second, with DSC shave butter. Harry's razor worked better but DSC shave butter worked better.
Different experience from Gillette for sure . I dont have much hair on my face because I'm only 18 but I have been using a Gillette mach 3 . Just got a Harry's razor because the price of cartridges, initially I didnt like it as much. I nicked myself in two places . Not bad at all . But it's been probably 20+ shaved with the mach 3 and no nicks. But afterwards I usually experience razor bumps on my neck where I have the most hair . Now , after shaving with the Harry's I felt like my face was burning more than the mach 3 , but after that I had less irritation than with the Harry's razor . Overall good experience. And the trimmer on the end of the razor is a bonus that the mach 3 didnt have . Good review
Just tried the Harry’s face wash in peppermint as well and soap in the fig scent. Great smells great feel with the face wash, just to tell you it does have gritty pieces in it to exfoliate.
15-20 shaves and you are changing the blade out ? My experience after 2 years with the Harrys is exactly this, and why i went back to my Mach III Gillette, which lasts 2 months !
Only flaw I have on it gave me 2 or 3 cuts on the first time really sucks. But other than that I reccomend this razor I been using gillete wich is good razor to but Harry's is more better in my case. Sharper blades smooth finish. Gillete leaves it oil n it gets clogged up easily Harry's dosent.
Razor drags, pulls, and nicks. Maybe the reviewer's face is less sensitive than mine, but one part of my face looked like a war zone. Unfortunately, I don't have the receipt to return this risky product.
@@averageguytested has nothing to do with technique; it's a poor razor. My wife used one and she experienced several nicks as well. Sorry to, just being honest.
Great video, he's right find what works for you and keep it simple. I wasted a lot of money on soaps and expensive razors that did no better than Harry's, Schick, or Gillette.
Been using Harry’s razor for a bit now with a combo trimmer for my beard. I have noticed water stains stay along the razor blades when they dry. Does the lubricating strip change a color to know when to change?
Great review. I can't help but wonder if those lubricant strips gunk up and reduce tge lifespan of the cartridge razors. Do what you enjoy and what works for you man. See you again soon Tony.
I bought because it said five blades and a trimmer. You get one blade and one extra blade. This is a real ripoff, false advertising on the box. I thought I might be missing something, but after 30 minutes of trying to find a trimmer and the other blades -- they have a terrible way of packaging and/or listing what you get. You're in the store you can't open the box so they just lie to you. I won't be buying anymore from this company. And even if I'm wrong and there is a trimmer and more blades somewhere why would I buy from this company that's so stupid. Waste my time with this wild goose chase! Elegant packaging give me a break... no instructions. A new company should not be acting like this, so annoying.
I was a subscriber to harrys for about 2 months. The first pack was amazing. The blades were so sharp, I loved them. Second pack felt like I was shaving with the lid from a can of beans. I made about 2 passes, and ended up trying each blade in the pack and they were all like that. I threw them in the garbage and cancelled. Went back to Mach 3.
theMediaMart It was probably a couple years ago. Whenever it was it was before they made their way into any brick and mortar places. Maybe I should retry them. At the time I made my way to a few forums which several people complained of the same thing. Several were asking if they changed factories or materials. I also didn’t like how the blade cartridge didn’t really “lock” on. Anytime I dropped it or knocked it off the sink the cartridge would go flying. I guess maybe I shouldn’t have dropped it. Lol
theMediaMart In addition to my last reply, I have found a few trusted eBay sellers I can get Mach 3 or Proshield blades just as cheap from. I know eBay is a little sketchy for blades, but so far these sellers I used have sent me legit stuff.
Yes. Be very careful though. You'll bleed quite a bit the first time but after that, you'll be fine. Just shave your area every two weeks so there is not as many nicks.
I gave my face the worst cut I've had in 30 years of shaving with my second use of a Harry's razor. It's just too many blades for me to use safely. However both the handle and blades seemed to be of really good quality.
I bet you are used to the heavily protective Gillette or Schick razors. Harry’s takes some getting used to and is most like the DE shave. It requires more patience, but I like the simplicity and cut of them.
I tried Harry’s a couple of times, I don’t like the head of the cartridge and the blades are terrible, it’s no where near as close or as comfortable as Gillette’s Mach 3 or fusion pro glide. All those mail order blades are just terribly made.
theMediaMart Yeah I tried Harry’s again at the beginning of the year and at least for me it was uncomfortable like the first time I tried it, and the overall shave just wasn’t as good or smooth as anything I get from Gillette. For me the Mach 3 is still hands down the best cartridge razor.
Hello, for me. I ge5 2-3 close no knick or irritation shaves using Harry's. But I also use cremo shaving cream as I find all Gillette products over priced not productive . Cremo is available at Walmart.
They are very effective razors and a great value. Done with Gillette.
Lots of people are these days.

@@averageguytested Wymienne ostrza rozumiem ?
My father always said "don't rush it". Dads have there way, you know?
Indeed.
Threw mine away after 2 blades and like 8 shaves. Bought a Mach 3. This thing feels like sandpaper compared to the Mach.
🪒👍🏽
Totally agree 4 shaves with Harry's is all you get. Been using them for years but no more.
Your 3-day facial hair growth looks like my one day of facial hair growth.
My facial hair grows back pretty fast.
Wow!

Looks like mine after maybe ten more years when it actually fills in
