Being a bald guy, I’ve been shaving for a while now.
I have tried everything from electric razors to straight razors and everything in between.
My answer to the best razors to shave with and what I’ve been using for years Harry’s!
Razors I’ve Tried
I even tried one that was curved, so it fits in your hand comfortably, and it had four wheels. It looked like a matchbox car. Let’s say that didn’t work for me.
Straight razors are super sharp, but they scare the heck out of me, and I only used them a few times. If you knew what you were doing, I would imagine you wouldn’t cut yourself as much as I did.
The razor that works for me is the regular one you can buy in any store.
After the prices increased, I turned to a few online subscription services. This allowed me not to worry about razors, blades, or how long it was until I would get my next one.
I was always stretching it out much longer than I should have. If you shave, you can understand how a dull blade is not good.
I finally settled on a subscription that I’ve used for many years. I love these razors, and a post about shaving wouldn’t be right without a good blade. So, click here to learn more!
One of the essential parts of shaving is the razor you use. I have tried the Mock 5, Gillette Power Fusion, straight razors, and two popular online shave clubs.
One of the important considerations is that I want to consistently have a sharp blade and something that doesn’t irritate my skin. I have found that I have sensitive skin, so this is very important.
The other consideration I have is the cost since shaving can get expensive.

Product Overview
First off, I highly recommend trying Harry’s.
If you decide to subscribe to their membership, you never have to think about ordering razor blades again!
What makes that so nice is that you will always have a sharp blade for your shaving needs.
I know you think there are so many other shaving clubs out there. Why pick Harry’s?
I have used other shave clubs but have decided Harry’s is for me. I have been with them for almost five years.
Something that I like about being of German descent is that it is where these blades are made. So you know they are of good quality. I mean, what isn’t cool that Germans make?

Convenience
These show up as often as you want. Their website is so easy to use too!
That means you can easily change, add, or even skip a shipment if needed.
Options
You can choose what handle you want and anything you want in your monthly plan. I have two different handles, but I like the one I use daily, the Winston.
I also have their regular handle, but I really like the weight of the Winsten handle.
Who is Harry’s For?
These razors are for everyone who shaves!
They work well, are sharp, and are so convenient.
Something else that is nice to know is that you can get Harry’s blades in stores now (like Target in the US). This started over the last year or so and is pretty cool.
Staying on our Harry’s wagon for a bit longer, they have different products now too!
For the most part, I use soap that my great-grandmother made. I enjoy using homemade items when I can, but sometimes I want something different, which is where Harry’s soap comes into play.
They have a few different scents, and none of them are bad. I like the stone sent currently the best. It’s a simple bar of soap that you can order when you want or get shipped to you monthly (it’s effortless to add anything they sell on your next shipment, and you don’t pay for shipping, so that’s super nice).
The Harry’s Support Team
As I mentioned, I have been part of Harry’s family for over 5 years. And during that time, I contacted them a few times.
This is one of the reasons I’m still a customer of them. Their support team is amazing.
I have always gotten my questions answered quickly and could not be happier with their product. I will say that I’ve tried other services (before finding Harry’s), and let’s say there is a reason I continued to shop around.
I would also like to think that some of my questions helped suggest some improvements, which have been made. I know I’m not the only one, but their new lubricating strip is very nice and makes for a smooth skin glide.
The Cost of Harry’s Razors and Accessories
There are a few different price points with this company. It depends on how many razors you go through if you get any of their other products, such as
- Razors
- Face Care
- Shower Soaps
- Deodorant
- Hair
- Accessories
As you can see, the cost really depends on what you are interested in ordering and how often you want to receive a shipment.
I will say that I have tried their facial scrub. It has little beads that exfoliate your skin with some peppermint. It works great, and I’m sure I will buy some more in the future.
I am currently spending about $8 a month on razors.
And that allows me to shave my face and head every day to every other day, with a sharp blade.
My Final Opinion
If you haven’t guessed it, I highly suggest you try Harry’s for yourself.
Do you have any questions about these razors that I didn’t answer above? Let me know in the comments below.

Otherwise, it’s time for you to get on Harry’s bandwagon and get your first shipment today! You can thank me later.
I have used Dollar Shave Club before and really liked their razors. The only reason I stopped using them was because I kept having a hard time getting the website to cooperate so I could get my shipment. I tried the Harry’s razor from Walmart one time, but because I have sensitive skin, I had bad razor burn. To be fair, I tried the Dollar Shave Club razors they have at Walmart now and they aren’t anything like the Club’s razors. Do you know if this is the case with Harry’s also?
I totally understand your issues with getting their website to work. I had the same thing, too (but many years ago).
I have not purchased any of Harry’s razors from a store (I also just saw Costco has them now). But you got me thinking I need to try them.
Having sensitive skin is the worst. I do too, but I haven’t ever had razor burn from these. Maybe you just got an off one? Not sure, but I will try buying a set in store and update the post if I find anything different from them.
Thanks for the comment!
I am so excited to read this review! I just ordered (sorry before I saw your website) Harry’s for my husband for Christmas. It was a total gamble on my part. However, he has very sensitive skin and is very particular about his razors. He has tried every kind of razor and is never happy. I am anxious to see how these work out for him.
However, now you have me thinking about my dad. He is bald and has been for several years. I might just have to consider these for him as well.
Thanks again,
Susan
Hi Susan, and thanks for stopping by.
I, too, have sensitive skin and have found Harry’s has worked wonders for me. I still get a nick every once in a while (the last time was months ago)—nothing like the other “dollar shave clubs” that are out there.
If you remember, let me know if your husband ends up liking them. I’m sure he will. Take care and happy Crhistmas!
Sounds like a great Christmas gift to give to a husband, father, brother, or son. There are so many guys with shaving issues. One of them is my brother, be hated shaving mainly because it irritates his face skin. Is it really that good you don’t cut nor irritate huh our skin?
And also I love the fact that that we can skip an order and we don’t need to order the exact things every month we can change what we order!! And the prices are great!
It would be a good gift, and since using Harry’s (for years), I have only cut myself a few times. I would also agree that the price is good as well.
If you decide to give them a try, come back and let me know what he thinks.
