My wife Raina and I were in Costco recently. I was shocked at the price of premium, name-brand razor blades. Seriously, to see how costly multi-blade razors are, even at a place with such competitive prices, was a surprise. It made me take another look at Harry’s razors.
If you are not familiar with Harry’s, you should be. Joel reviewed their affordable razors a few years ago. He titled the review, “Harry’s Shave Plans Review: Is It Good and Cheap?” He had this to say in it,
I’ve long been a blade shaver, and I was hooked on Gillette’s Fusion ProGlide line for a long time. Well, I am no longer paying Gillette’s exorbitant price, thanks to Harry’s; my face feels better for it, and so does my wallet.
(While his review is a bit dated, it is still worth reading.)
Harry’s works on a subscription model, and they offer a great deal for those of you who are new to their service. We’ll get to that in a moment but first, let’s take a look at what they offer and why Harry’s might be a smart move if you want a good shave but also want to save a bundle.
Good razors cost too much…so we fixed it. We knew there had to be a way to get a quality razor without overpaying for it. That’s why we created Harry’s as a return to the essential: a great shave at a fair price.
Harry’s premium razors have five sharp blades that are produced in their very own German factory. In addition, each razor has a precision trimmer blade that lets you get to hard-to-reach spots, a flexible hinge and a lubricating strip built right into it for added comfort. In other words, when you look at Harry’s blade they look rather similar to other 5-blade razors. There is, however, a difference. For example, while an eight-pack of Gillette Proshield razors costs about $4.94 per razor, Harry’s offering is just $2.00. That less than half the price and, for added convenience, the razors arrive by mail on a set schedule.
In addition, Harry’ offers a range of products including shave gel, shave cream, post-shave balm, and more. In fact, Harry’s has expanded their offerings significantly since Joel first reviewed their products and the company can now be your one-stop shop for almost every male grooming product.
Still, for many, switching razors is no small thing. So Harry’s want to make it simple. A Harry’s starter kit includes a weighted rubberized handle (you can choose a handle in orange, blue or olive,) a five-blade razor cartridge, a travel cover for the blades and a 2.0 oz can of foaming shave gel. Normally this starter kit is $13. That’s a fantastic price on its own but, thanks to this promotion, you can get the complete kit for just $8.00. That’s right, for under $10.00 you can check Harry’ out and decide if you really want to continue paying 2 1/2 times more for your razors or if you want to start getting Harry’s products sent directly to you.

Even better? If you run out before your shipment, you can run to your local Target or Walmart and pick up some extra. Only thing they don’t have is deodorant.
