The one thing I found out is that this trimmer blade is sharp! I was holding the razor in my hand and as I moved it around, I grabbed it from the top and I could feel that blade start to give me a very fine cut on my finger. Genius that I am, I stopped putting pressure on it! But it is a very sharp piece of steel!

I had the new blades. I used to love Harry’s and just canceled my subscription. It pulls my hair now instead of cutting it, and it rusts crazy fast. The quality is not good anymore–but originally, the only thing better was a straight edge. My daughters used Harry’s as well as they were better than any “female oriented” razors they could buy—but they too now say they aren’t the same, have discontinued using Harry’s. Bummer. It was a great product that had an amazing fan base and they just had to try to make it better. Reminds me of the New Coke fiasco. I’ve been a DOllar discount shave since July 2015 and keep seeing Harry’s advertised thinking of trying. I’m not one to necessarily pinch pennies, but I just want a good SMOOTH shave and Harry’s isn’t the one for me. I normally use Gillette Fusion blades. They last a month, shaving every day, but I ‘sharpen’/align them with a rubber pad after a week of use. Yesterday morning (I shave in the shower) I tried the Harry’s razor and blade for the first time; today was my second shave. Out of 5 starts, I’d give them 2.5, maybe 3 (if I were generous).You get what you pay for, Harry’s blades are the worst razors I have ever used in the last 30 years of shaving. They tug on your skin and whiskers get caught between the blades. Won’t come out even when banging the razor in the sink. Very uncomfortable to use. I feel like I have been ripped off. I joined them for 6 months and I regret every use of their blades. DO NOT buy these razors, you will be very disappointed. Gillette razors are a lot better, worth the extra money they cost. That said, the only time I use my Harry’s anymore is for the times I travel by air with only a carry-on bag. Otherwise, my daily drivers are a Seki Feather AS-D2 and an IKon Shavecraft 102, and Kai or Feather blades. As others have had good things to say, I suppose I may have received a dud, or perhaps this razor just isn’t good for my face/hair. While Gillette and DSC are going for the “bro, frat, athlete” market, Harry’s is shooting for the guy who wears a suit, or at least a button-down shirt to work. Do they deliver? Let’s dive in!

My experience leads me to the conclusion that Gillette doesn’t have to feel threatened by the competition for shaving loyalty. What they do need to do is be sensitive to the retail price of their products, which seem ridiculous to me. They also should pay attention to the clever marketing by the smaller challengers. As with so many “disruptive” companies, Harry’s takes a different approach to an established industry. Instead of buying replacement blades at exorbitant fees from your local supermarket, Harry’s runs a subscription-only model that delivers shaving consumables direct to your home. Using Harry’s right now and got to say I am not impressed. Love the price but I don’t get as close of shave vs using my Gillette Fusion blades. I only shave about two to three times per week and it feels like I am pulling my whiskers out one at a time. Gave some of my blades to my son in law and he has quit using them. No, the two statements aren’t contradictory. The original didn’t have a trimming blade, the new model did. Personna M5 Magnum System Handle. I found it as part of a free rebate promotional offer from Rite Aide. This was one of the best blades I ever used. Hard to find in stores these days but I would say it would be worth a try.It’s funny, or odd, that you’d say in the very same review, “The one criticism that I had of this blade [the original] was that… it didn’t have a trimming blade. So when they announced that change, I decided to test it out!” and “I was holding the razor in my hand and as I moved it around, I grabbed it from the top and I could feel that blade start to give me a very fine cut on my finger.” Have to admit that the blades last a long time as the feel of the shave does not change much (heavy drag from start to throwaway) hard to tell when it is time to change blades. I have been shaving my entire life. Since 16, I’m now 53. I have tried everything and most big name brands are good. I gave Harry’s a try and I absolutely love it. Great shave, the best I’ve ever had. I use all of their products from shave gel to the post shave balm, it’s all good. I experienced the exact same thing. The original blades, prior to the addition of the trimmer, cut through my beard like a hot knife in butter. The new trimmer version is downright awful and the trimmer can cut your nose quite easily when shaving the upper lip. I am finishing out my supplies and then moving on. I used it day one at the gym in the shower so there was a lot of water hitting my face and it gave me a really decent, close shave.
