I am an avid podcast listener going back to almost the beginning. Pre Covid-19, my daily M - F commute has been 90 minutes each way for most of my 20+ career. So when I heard about Harry’s Razors (I think from the Revolutions podcast), I wanted to support the show, so I used their code to purchase the monthly subscription service.

I liked Harry’s backstory, and I wanted their product. I never felt the razors were better than Gillette, but I did like getting new razors in the mail each month, along with shaving cream. The convenience factor outweighed my slight displeasure with Harry’s razor blades. I always felt I didn’t get a close shave with them, hair gets caught up in between the razors more, and they seemed to lose their sharpness prematurely.

A few months ago, I purchased a razor and blades from Dollar Shave Club at Target. I don’t like the name, and I don’t care for the handle. Harry’s come in cool colors and feels more sturdy in hand. But after switching to Dollar Shave Club, I believe I get a better shave with them compared to Harry’s. It’s too bad because I really wanted to stick with Harry’s.
