I was expecting to be inundated with choices but instead I found just two razors in a few colors and some shaving products. The razors are called The Truman, available in four colors and The Winston, an upscale version with a heavier handle constructed of high-grade aluminum. Harry’s also has shaving gel, foam, aftershave, and razor blades, the same items you will find at any barbershop.
I ordered The Truman Set and picked an eye-catching orange handle thinking it would look rather handsome on my bathroom sink. It’s simple, smart, and pleasingly stylish; something I never thought I’d say about a razor. The single razors are sold as sets so I was pleasantly surprised that my Truman came with three 5-blade cartridges, foaming shave gel, and a travel cover for the blade – covering all my shaving needs for one month. It cost $15, the price I’d normally pay for a few new blades.
As my old razor moved well past its expiration date, my new razor arrived. I have to admit I felt a little important when I opened the box. It has a clean, modern design and the handle is heavy yet sleek. I took my time shaving the first morning and I noticed a big difference. It felt really smooth as I moved around my face and there were never any mishaps or nicks. Their blades are built with a special arch designed for a comfortable and crisp shave. For me, it was easy for me to get all the different groves around my neck and chin. I don’t always do the best job shaving, but I felt good about my work that morning and every day I’m getting better.
While I might not necessarily cross the line and love shaving, I do feel different, and I don’t hate the process anymore. Harry’s also offers a service called a “Shave Plan” where you can get blades and shaving cream delivered automatically based on how often you shave. With a cost that’s less than half, and a more modern business model, I can see why guys are starting to make the switch.
