I started using Harry's after seeing their ads and not wanting to pay the high price for Gillette. I was hopeful because the ads are well done and they talk about German engineering. Don't believe it. This is a cheaply made razor. It's all plastic and has a very cheap feel. It's perhaps a step up from a disposable in that regard. The shave isn't bad I admit. I can get a close shave but at a cost, serious razor burn! The lube strip is practically worthless! The blades don't last long either. I heard that the older design was better. I can't attest to that, but this design is not worth repeating.

I am not having as successful a shave with the new-generation blades as I did with your originals. Maybe it is the design of the blade system. The razor itself is probably okay. The problem area for me is right under my nose. It is tough to maneuver, and I end up with a sensitive, raw area under my nose. A coworker who also uses Harry's blades has commented on that, too, and would prefer the original blade system. I do use the Harry's gel and the aftershave balm and like them both. I would give the original model blade Five Stars, but I am having trouble with the new model, hence the Three Stars.

I tremendously enjoyed Harry's first generation blades. It was the best shaving experience for me because the razor glided so smoothly on my skin. Then the new generation blades arrived and my shaving experience has totally changed. The new blades are not very good as I cut myself few times with them, which had never happened with the first generation blades and I don't have a sensitive skin. I probably will not order from Harry's again and that's too bad.

I've always shaved with a Schick Hydro 5 but I got frustrated paying so much for blades. So I purchased the Harry's razor with refills. The first time I shaved with the Harry's razor I felt like I was dragging 40 grit sand paper over my face. It was not smooth at all and the blade to handle angle is odd and uncomfortable. I figured I had a bad blade so I put in a new one... same rough shave. I'm done with Harry's and I plan to try Dollar Shave Club. If that doesn't work out I'll go back to the Schick Hydro 5 which was outstanding.

After my review of Harry's second generation blades more than a year ago, things are still the same and no change in their product. I read all the replies from Harry's customer service representatives about forwarding the concern's to R&D and wonder which galaxy are they at? Does it take so long for them to find that yes there is a problem here. I think their R&D dept. means (Relax and Don't bother) Guy's at Harry's why is it so difficult to understand that you made a mistake by discontinuing the first generation blades! Make them again and you shall see the complaints vanish in a poof!

I got the $3 demo kit in the mail and then waited for a four day beard to grow in to give it ereal test. I usually shave every other day so this was a good test. Didn't use the shave gel Harry's shipped with the demo kit because I like the Neutrogena shave cream that I use AND I wanted the only variable to be the blade when I compared to the Fusion I usually use.

So the results - I really can't find a difference between Harry's and my old Fusion blades. Works well, no nicks, no cuts, a little pulling but same as the Fusion would do on a four day beard.

For the cost savings, quality and fun way Harry's markets, I am staying with Harry's. My wife's first comment when she saw the orange handle - I want one of those!

Good show!

I have been shaving for 50 years and have tried every brand that has ever been made. I have a thick beard and need to shave daily... Been using the Harry's system for 6 weeks and I will never use anything else! The only razor that will actually cut my facial hair going with the grain. Blade lasts for weeks... I'm a believer!

First off, I never submit reviews. So this is a first. With a company called HARRYS, you would think that means something. I do not have sensitive skin. I also do not have a thick beard. But the first use, (I shaved like I have for 25 years) I looked up in the mirror and seen 3 red cuts on my face neck and right side burn! What? Also the blades are so close together it's impossible to clean out the hair, even with a high pressure faucet. I wanted this product to be a lifesaver as I'm sick of paying so much at the store. And as much as I wanted that and tried until the blades were all used, I can say I will never order or use this brand again. With each new razor blade, I had hoped for the best, however, the clog up with one use, individual blades are way to close together, and even with new blades my face has a fresh cut every time. So very disappointed. I will gladly purchase a classic Mach 3 anyday after this experience. Just compare a Mach 3 razor to Harry's- the Mach 3 blades are much farther apart and do not clog. I can use one of those for 3 weeks and have never had a single cut. With Harry's it was on the first use and continued. Not a good product. Again, I will say, I don't even have a thick beard. So I really feel for those who purchased from Harry's and have a thick beard.

First observation was the smell of the shave gel. Over powering and unnecessary when all I want is a lubricated shaving agent. Instead I ended up smelling like an Axe body spray fanatic.

The shave was rough, awkward, somewhat painful afterwards and didn't leave me with a smooth face at all. Maneuvering under my nose was hard since the depth of the head is only slightly less than the area between my nose and my lip. Leaving no room to actually stroke the razor down. Transitioning across my jaw bone from cheek to neck was also difficult and simply didn't remove whiskers.

I didn't try these to save money which is a good thing because once you convert to CAD, these are no less expensive than a top brand name in a store. Instead, I read the hype and expected a superior experience only to realize my old brand is pretty good.

I'll be donating the two razors and several blades to a homeless shelter in town. Hopefully it doesn't turn into another "muffin tops" incident. Who knows, maybe they'll post a review...

Listen Harry, if you want to keep me, there are some things you need to change. 1. The razor to the handle bends to much. IE, I have to shave with the razor at 90 degrees. Look at the competitors, those do not do that. It needs to be about 45 to 60. Secondly, the handle is a little big to be honest. Slim it down a little especially on the razor side. Lastly, your white strip that has lubricant on it is not that great. Gillette Mach 3 has the perfect one and I would try to get as close to there's as possible. Your razor seems very basic, like a disposable one. I will say that once I figured out how to hold it, it shaved decent.
