Two weeks ago my girlfriend purchased the Harry's Razor and four replacement cartridges. I've used it fourteen straight days with the original cartridge and it still feels brand new on my face. It doesn't nick or cut. I love this razor.
I'm here because I don't want to buy Gillette anymore.
Go online and read there mission statement and look at the circus pictures that have of some of there “men”.

Buy a double edge safety razor set. Which comes with stand, safety razor unit,saop,bowl or cup,soap brush,5 double blades. You can buy a separate double edge blades of 100 ct for less than $15.00. Also its the best shave of your life
@@thebigmann81 Nah. I dont feel like scaring my face
@@theone8308 trying to find that you got a link ?? 🥴
Any one else notice at 1:46 he's not using the Harry's razor
He sure the fuck wasn’t! What a chump! Seems to be a sponsored video, so why wasn’t he?
it does look like a harrys but the chrome handle one, still stinks of sponsored post tho so fuck harrys xD
@@LB-db9sl so im hoping this is a joke because it definitely isn't a brand deal
@@LB-db9sl He shows it at 2:39 It definitely is not the harry's winston edition chrome razor
If you'd actually watch instead of assuming, he was showing the razor he normally uses. It doesn't seem like a sponsored video at all.
I started using Harry’s a little bit ago and I love the packaging with all the little hidden details
Packaging is great and the brand green looks great BUT the blade is rubbish I just cancelled my subscription for blades and shaving gel today.
I've watched several of your reviews today and you do an excellent job!!! This one was great especially because I've been looking at the one blade. Thanks a lot for the videos!
I was the same way at first about the blade angle, but after a couple of shaves the Harry's stuff really rocks. I really like the straight blade for the trimmer.
So I tried Harry’s for the first time today. I have a rough beard and it gave me a decently close shave, although I think it will take some time getting used to. I normally shave with a single blade or twin blade and 5 blades usually used to cut me here and there. You have to be more careful with your technique with Harry’s but I can tell it’s a quality blade. Very sharp.
This was a very thorough nice solid review. Thanks for this video. I just bought mine at Costco $24.99 (1) Razor Handle, (1) Travel blade cover, (13) 5-blade cartridge refills. Not a bad deal.
Double edge safety razors have made a huge comeback in recent years, especially since the Gillette commercial. They give a way smoother shave, blades cost way less and don't tug like cartridge ones do, and most of the DE razors themselves are built to last for generations.
I've used safety razors and Harry's razors, for my skin Harry's is better.
I like your no nonsense review style and how you were fair in adjusting your impression over time with usage. A close friend introduced me to Harry’s about a year ago, since then I’ve paid that forward by gifting a set to my son and another friend. I find Harry’s to be a reasonably priced, quality product. I really like Harry’s Shave Gel, even more so now that I’ve learned to use very little and still get a good lather stretching the can out longer. I highly recommend the Post-Shave Balm with Aloe, although a little pricy, I’ve not found better. Keep up the good work on your reviews!
Great video, however, how do you know when to change the blade? I started using Harry's razor after using Fusion razor and blades for years, their blades have a blue strip that turns white over time after using, indicating it's time to change the blade, so how is Harry's different?
Gillette did me dirty on my subscriptions so now I'm using Harrys and I love it.
Why what did they do
Just bought mine today but wanted to checkout some videos and I'm glad I watched yours. Thanks for the tip. Cheer's!!
how long did they last with honing?
Before I started growing out my beard I went from Gillett to Harry's and never looked back. It's a great razor, good lifespan, and amazing shave. Only thing I have negative to say, if you pack it carelessly in a travel bag (I had one for travel when i was in the reserves) the head pops off pretty easy. However that doesnt change how good it is when you shave. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new disposable razor.
I switched from Gillette as well a few years ago. Grew a beard and am now beardless lol... Pulled my Harry's razor back out and it works like new. And I stocked on cartridges before I grew my beard..lol🤷🏾♂️
Been using Harry’s for two yrs now and I love it!
Nice i shave my head with gillette fusion proshield flexball .very smooth. But harry's is nice razor
Any followup on the honing technique, are you still using same blade lol
I tried Harry’s one 2016 and never looked back! Great video Harry’s is best!
Great video! Did the honing technique work and did you get just another week or did you get 4 weeks?
I am at 3 weeks of use on mine and it is just now getting dull. I have been very impressed with mine! I do recommend this razor (video explaining more on my wall). I did not have a chrome grip like some others have had, mine is an orange rubber like yours so no slipping. I think the handle is comfy too! I had the same amount of hair storage in the blades as I did any other razor. These blades were awesome IMO and I shaved multiple body parts nearly every day. I can see how the angle bothered you but with legs....no problemo. Oh and I will totally try your trick as I too before Harry's used disposables for a LONG time.
I just for the first time ever with the Harry’s and I don’t think I’m ever buying Gillette again
Great review !! thanks for taking the time I just purchased my own starter kit
First time watching your channel. I liked your review, it’s solid and insightful. I’m subscribing and notifications on! How are the razors fairing after 6 months?
I appreciate the subscribe! It held up well while I used it. In July I switched to the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power, as you can see in this video: ruclips.net/video/9jl3UhRjsfg/видео.html
same here.
Same here for me (in the UK), I tried the Harry (I only do my beard) and the price point was good but adding the points you made all together and my experience I have returned to Gillette Fusion 5, expensive but seems to give for me at least the shave that is best. Good review.
PS I agree with you on the (your Review updates 7) ...my son loves the Whirly Ball and a year on still going strong! Also I got the Thin optics after your review and yep, still used daily... great.
Deviating slightly... Have you reviewed the NEBO Big Larry? As a pro muscian and out a lot I have gone through over the decades a lot of lights/lanterns. A year on and this one seems to have survived my clumsy tests (I ran over it by accident in the car and it survived without a mark!) and battery life vs the high lumens seems to have gone okay . I'm thinking I may go for the Pro version and leave the standard in the house. be interested if you do a review.
Great reviews and bought and not bought on your well constructed and balanced reviews.
Found the opposite; Switching from Gillette to Harry's. Not going back.
I used cartridge razors for 30 years, Ive just switched to DE shaving I get the best shaves ever for 40p per blade
I just tried that honing technique on my old dull Schick aqua 5 and it worked like new. I got an extremely close shave and was surprised. I guess it is similar to preparing a straight razor on a leather strap.
Thanks for that hone tip. Can't wait to try it.
I came from a Wilkerson Safety razor, being taught how to shave by Dad. Then in the 90s, tried the Gillette Mach series. Then in November last year saw the Harry's. The Mach are too expensive to replace. The quality isn't the same for shaving. Harry's is Heaven Sent! Cheap, shaves you good, lasts longer than 3 shaves. No razor burns....great product!
You can also hone your razors on a pair of jeans...the same technique, just a different material. Great videos, thanks for all your hard work.
I tried Harry's razor when they first hit target. First shave don't know if it was a bad batch of blades or what but it was very dull and pulled on the hairs. I compare it my Gillette fusion after using it about 7 times . I'm not saying it's a bad razor just I had a bad experience with it.
Do you think your blades last longer because you don't fully shave your beard and hair on top your head is thinner than beard hair?
I
I've been using Hydro 5 by Wilkinson sword for a few year's now and I get a great shave, First pass with the grain, Second with it and then rinse and pat dry the moisturise.
Do you recommend getting a good quality safety razor and a pack of Japan's feather razors?
Awesome video! Any chance we can see a review of the Shavelogic S5??
As far as the honing technique, awesome advice!! I use the inside, flatter part of my forearms. Perhaps with some, shaving cream, gel, or lotion.
Like AliveWithPassion, this is also my first time watching your channel. I've always shaved with electric razors, but recently have been interested in using traditional razors. After watching your review, I went out and bought myself a Harry's razor! New subscriber!
Btw what kind of shaving cream you use?
I’ve been using Harry’s for about 4-5 years . Love em
What do you use to shave your head, I just use body soap. And just bought my first Harry’s razor but use just for my head.
I just bought my first Harry's razor today and gotta say the first shave was amazing I used the razor and the shaving cream and then the after shave balm and it feels amazing now
you missed the trimming blade feature and I really like that
What is your honing technique please?
Thank you!
I like that they put time into the packaging, although, there is quite a lot of it. It is nice though. I use the boxes for collar stays, Swiss Army knife, etc. to throw in my luggage. I didn’t care for the angle at all, but then I realized the blade had to “click backward” into place; I was trying to use while locked in the “new-in-box” position. Now, I really like it. Accompanying products are nice too.
The Harry's was good and reminds me of the regular shaving stuff I use. Question: what shaving cream do you use? Is it the same thing that came with your blades?
It varies on the person. You can either use the same as the razor or you can stick to other shaving creams or gels. Using Harry’s razor and Barbasol shaving cream would be great. Also using Harry’s shave gel or cream is a great idea. Again, it depends on what type of cream or gel you want to use
I use Harry’s but I have trouble telling how long they last. How often are you guys refilling? I do not every 5-7 shaves but that wears out the bar on the top of the razor
I always like your reviews def my go to before buying products as seen on tv!!!
I just got Harry’s and i didn’t know if i want to switch but i think i do now and i wanna try that technique to see how long i can make the blades last will be fun
I’ve used all kinds of razors. But, I tried Harry razor about a hour ago. And I must say. It was the best shaving experience I’ve ever had. And I didn’t have to go against the grain; like prior razors 1:35 . I love the flexibility of the blade. His razor got my respect. 😊❤
For some reason i felt like i wasnt able to eyeball a good straight line around my neck with it? Maybe cus its the head shape?
1:50 "I've used it on my head, my neck, and... my nuts..."
I like they way they package there product ? I know that doesn’t mean the razor is good but I like the attention to detail . Love how it feels in my hand , to me it seems like it lasts longer , Also the fact it’s in Walmart’s so it’s easy to find . What’s your view on the Harry’s foam gel ?
really good info, thank you
Thanks for your honest review and honing tip. I use a Razorpit to do the same thing, but I will try your idea on the arm. I live in the UK am trying various blades and I do like Gillette 5 Fusion but their blades are so damn expensive. I like the pull-back strip to get closer to shaving edge though. Keep up the great work!
hey I just recently found u on RUclips and just subscribe to u love the idea of reviewing as seen tv products. as for as the razor have u had problems with razor bumps? my skin is super sensitive and i shave my head every other day
I have not had any razor bumps, but I am not prone to them in the first place. I appreciate the subscribe!
If you're prone to razor burn, look at a safety razor, they're great!
I like Harry's razors and blades very much. I like the simplicity of the hinge vs the Gilette blade that seems to have alot going on. .It's well balanced and feels comfortable in the hand. For me, the quality of the shave was slightly better than Gillettes five bladed razor. The sharpness of the blades also seem to last a long time. The one knock I have is that the plastic hinge, whose perfomance I really like, breaks after about 5 days. This is too bad as it renders the razor just about useless. Not sure what I will try next.
if you hone on a pair of old jeans, it works much better and there isnt really a risk of cutting your arm by accident
Joe Gotti harsh much troll and what did he misspell
Joe Gotti, learn how to use punctuation marks, like commas and full stops, moron!
Ben Jones Thank you. I’m a female with peach fuzz for arm hair and I was just about to ask if that honing technique works for hairless arms. I’ll use jeans. ☺️
Absolutely! Every shave with my Harry's razor,, I start stropping with a moderate weight pair of jeans and it stretches the life of the blade to about 3-weeks. Amazing!
I've heard that thoroughly drying the blades after use is very important for longevity also.
i love how the gillette commercial motivated me to buy a new razor
@Andriy M. political? your power of extrapolation is...very poor...
@Andriy M. good, good, your toxicity gives you strength
@Andriy M. ok, toots
@Andriy M. no way, i'm no match for your babeness
@theengineer70
Mate you should look into double edge razor shaving aka a safety razor
Far farrrr better shave and you have the choice of roughly a hundred different blades you can get for them
You can even buy blade sample packs that come with a selection of all the most popular blades, but cartridge razors are rubbish
I always chuckle when I hear Harry's commercials. They state their competitors "Over Engineer" their razors. What is 5 blades about?? LOL
Thanks for the video review... very useful
I also purchased Harry’s razors from target in 2017 was really hoping they would work well I don’t know what it was but they seem to pull the hair out especially on the sides of my head and back of my head and neck I have been using for years the Gillette fusion Pro glide and that is just like butter smooth But it does not sound like you had any of these issues with your review
The sharpening technique also works if you use a pair of jeans. I've been using same razor for almost 7 months. The only drawback is the comfort strip is almost shot.
Love Harry's and I've been using them for a few years now. Started buying them from the website but started buying them at Target also. I think it's great quality and value and I have recommended them to friends also.
I've tried that honing technique both on my arm and on my jeans (which you're supposedly also supposedly able to do). That technique never works with me and the blades just end up pulling on my hairs like a ladies epi-ripper and filling my face with cuts. I've never, ever, been able to get that technique to work. As a matter of fact, it seems to make the blades grab the hair on my face worse.
i need to clean blades how do i disassemble the razor to clean them?
Bic 3 flex is good for head shave ?
I am a Harry's subscriber and love the razors. Mine last for months. Love the product. Love your reviews thanks for your shows!
Best review out there on this product. This company have just come to the UK recently. Decided not to go for it because of the angle of the blade issue.
do you still use harrys? how well does the sharping trick work with harrys? thanks
I used Harry's for a few months until I switched to the Gillette Fusion 5 Proshield Power. The sharpening trick didn't work as well as with other blades.
Freakin' Reviews GF5P blades aren't worth the price
Hey this video just popped up on my recommended list! This is my favorite cartridge razor, very good product. I actually just included it in my latest video myself.
I used Harry’s this morning on my head for the first time....I am really really impressed with this razor compared to what I was previously using fusion pro glide...Harry’s gave me a more improved comfortable shave and with no nicks so I won’t be going back to Gillette....btw I had no issue with the angle of the blade to the handle mentioned in the video....Harry’s is a beautiful razor.
I use fusion pro glide as well and I'm thinking of switching to this. How are they holding up so far compared to Gillette?
I use Gillette fusion proshield flexball chill and mach3 turbo. Super bbs with proshield flexball chill. I Gillette! My head is beautiful and smooth.
Wow Harry's must be a really good razor when it says on the brand box their blades are recommended for face shaving not for the head.
2:46 won't that flex give the angle ypu desire?
For me it definitely does
The cartridge design looks a lot closer to a slightly better version of Bic Flex 4 than a Fusion or a Hydro lol.
I just got a Harry's razor from Walmart. I was a subscriber to dollar shave club and I liked them well but my handle broke (it rusted in me with the blade in it my fault completely ). I decided to give Harry's a try. Price point to price point is about the same as Dollar Shave Club. The handle with two blades was $10 just like at Target for you and I ended up getting a four pack of blades which was $9 for 4 which is about the same as Dollar Shave Club. What I like about the cartridge refills is the packaging is awesome. I like how it's put in reusable Packaging. I can use the box to gift one of my many beaded items that I make. I also like the case the cartridges come in way better than Dollar Shave Club. Also what I liked about the starter kit will just call it that it came with a blade cover so if you happen to keep your razor in the shower like I do your blade isn't going to rust nearly as quickly. My problem that I didn't like about it was how to change a blade I've had problems figuring it out but once I did is like oh okay I got this. The other thing that I was skeptical on was how well it would shave my legs. It's been months since I shaved my legs last time I did any hair removal on my legs I used Nair. Not a fan of the smell of Nair or the wait time or dealing with chemicals so I'm went back to shaving. I was highly impressed on how well it handles and coarse hair on my legs and I did use the trimmer blade to make sure that I got all the hair down to the nitty-gritty. The other thing that I didn't care for was how easy it was to Nick myself with the blade. Grand it I nicked myself with any blade whether it's a Disposable Male razor that I got from the Dollar Tree, a disposable female razor that I got from the Dollar Tree, I fancy-schmancy woman's razor from Walmart, or a Harrys Razor. I always Nick myself behind the ankle where your Achilles tendon is Common Pleas for me to Nick. I really like the price point of Harrys Razor and just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't use a man's razor. It's funny because women's razors and cartridges I guess that's what they call him are way more expensive than men's and really there is no difference except in this case all my there's a trimmer blade. I like the way to the handle it's very similar to the elite handle I had from Dollar Shave Club. Again will state how I liked the packaging and how reusable the box was. I can use the starter kit box for gift if I wanted to and as for the cartridge box I do have a handmade beaded keychain that I made as a gift in it. I would love to try the Harry's shave lotion if it's available because I absolutely love the shave lotion from Dollar Shave Club it smells amazing and it worked really really well I kind of want to see how Harry's works out. So if any you ladies out there reads this I strongly suggest giving Harry's a try there is no shame and using a male razor.
Which disposable razor is that?
I had got one of these razors and after a week of use I tried honing it like you said and it completely ruined the blades. Maybe I pushed to hard
why doest the website say the blades are for face and are not designed for shaving head? did you have issue?
uh...doesn't the flex allow you to get the best angle for the shave?
Let’s test this new razor on my smooth bald head instead of my big beard
Lmfaooo
My thoughts exactly.
Or balls.😆😆😆
Great review!
I just picked one of these up today. I bought the razor to strictly use on my head, but once I got it home I noticed a disclaimer on the box that discouraged use on the head, but I'm sure if I looked close enough, any razor of that style will probably say the same, so I did it anyway and it gave a closer shave than gillette razor. I did have a little razor burn, but I'm sure once I use it a few times my scalp will toughen up. Van der hagen safety razor is what I use on my face to clean up my beard.
hey man..nice review !! i agree with you about the blade angle and flex (don't like too much flex also). Great points! and thanks for the blade sharpening tip !!i will try it on my Shick blades !
Hello James. I actually just finished shaving using Harry's disposable. And will gladly say, " it met and exceeded my expectations." Didn't clog up, easy to rinse and very good close shave without razor burn or any irritation. Mind you I used cremo shaving cream. And still didn't clog. And easily rinsed as clean as when I took it from package Gillette has lost a customer. Thank you for your honing tip. Will definitely be doing it. Will post back, let you, others know how long Harry's disposable razor lasted. As always another great review!😊
I have been using Harry's for years and love them and Dr. Carvers shaving butter. And yes the sharpening does work.
Dr. Carvers is a Dolar Shave Club product
What I need to know is, are the blades gapped enough to not get clogged with hair and shave gel?
Have you tested the microtouch razor? Just curious, since I'm 1 of the lucky stiffs who can go a few months without having to worry about shaving. I just zip it off with an electric, and couple weeks later is when it starts becoming noticable. but keep up the good work, really like your vids.
Do you mean the Microtouch Solo? If so, I did test that one here: ruclips.net/video/Anbs4T44giE/видео.html
Freakin' Reviews no, it wasn't that 1, didn't realize microtouch had a few, but I believe it's the microtouch one and/or the tough
Awesome review, glad it worked for you. I had the opposite experience. Harry's Blades has literally destroyed my face. I am 26, been shaving for years, but this blade hurts my face. I wish they had a blade for sensitive skin.
Was it me, or was there a different razor being used on the Day 3 shower scene...... ??
tricky dicky played it over and over and you’re right
Using Harry's razor with Cremo shaving cream. Been 3 weeks, just switched blades, going to try the arm sharpening thing and see if how long i can make the second blade last
How long dose it last
I have watched several of your reviews! I like your no-nonsense does it really do it approach! I have tried Harry’s by subscription. I like their shave foam a lot, but it is expensive compared to the product I normally use and also I found it slowed my sink drain! On the razor, using the single blade between my nose and upper lip just does not work well for me, that is not just a Harry’s issue but for all 5 + 1 razors. I much prefer narrow 3 blade razors like Gillette Sensor 3. Even the disposable of that model does a great job for me!
Why does that look like old Henderson area 🤔. I was debating on getting these to try. I hear shaving soap works best with these
I too have the bald look and I just recently bought the kit and put it head to head against the Gillette 5 aqua grip. Harry's blades didn't last 3 shaves for me and I noticed that even the brand new cartridge didn't really get all that close. Especially after the 3rd use. The Gillette simply smoked it and their blades seem to last quite a bit longer.
Finally a man that knows how to review a quality razor. I do no own a Harrys razor but i am a subscriber to dollar shave club. I get 5 blades every 3 months and there good. I prolong the last catridge before the new one comes in with a scrap piece of denim. My dad taught me that trick a long time ago. Would you ever considering doing a review on straight razors?
Hey Shawn, if there's ever a highly advertised straight razor, I'll be on it! :-)
Harry's razors are good but I have had a few blades that were defective. They broke while shaving at the flex part.
Hey man, I've been using a similar technique for maintaing the blade, but I use a paper towel or tissue to run the razor head in the opposite direction so that excess hair out of the blades...leading to the razor lasting a long long time.
Ty for sharing :)
5:20 I knew it when I saw those mountains in the background!
I’ve recently gotten into wet shaving and just picked up a Harry’s today just for shaving my head. Once home I noticed on the bottom of the box it says “our blades are designed for shaving your face and not for head shaving”
Seemed to work for you tho, so I’ma give it a try.
Thank you Sir...very interesting.
After the Trial blades sent to me, I am hooked.. All this time I have been using cheep disposal blades that didn't really do a good shave.
Hey, bud, since you did a review on Harry's, will you do a review of the dollar shave club? I would highly recommend giving them a look if you haven't yet. But I would suggest that you get their executive razor, if you do. It comes with 6 blades on the face and one edging blade on the upper back of the cartridge. And for 5 bucks, why not give it a shot?
One minor correction, Harry’s was not initially a subscription service. That was a later addition to their product line. They kinda prefer you do it that way now, but you’ve always been able to buy their products without a subscription.
Perhaps Harry's isn't for everyone, but I've been shaving with a Harry's for 3 years and love the close shave it gives.
now I always watch your video before I buy everything
