Looking to decide for yourself?

By now you’ve probably been inundated by hundreds of ads and commercials from shaving companies caught up in the “razor wars.” We dug a little bit deeper into one of them to see why all of a sudden every guy seems to be switching to Harry’s for all their shaving needs.

1. They are 3 years old with 100 years of experience.

Harry’s blades are made at a 100 year-old factory in Eisfeld, Germany that the 3 year-old startup recently purchased. This is one of the main reasons they’re able to charge half the price for high-quality blades – there’s no middle man.

2. They know how to literally “handle” things.

Their razor handles are ergonomically designed with a weighted core to give you better control while shaving. The shape and weight is inspired by other tools like German knives and fine ballpoint pens.

3. Who doesn’t love free shipping and a quality guarantee?

Whether it’s a refill on blades or a shave set for everyone on your gift list, domestic shipping is always free and because they really believe in their product, they offer a 100% quality guarantee.

4. It’s run by two best friends.

After Andy (on the left) had a bad experience buying razors at the drugstore, he called his friend Jeff (on the right) and suggested they should do something about it – so they started Harry’s.

5. They’re a buncha do-gooders.

The company gives 1% of its sales and every employee gives 1% of their time to charity. They believe it’s just as important to give back to the community as it is to deliver great shaves.

6. They love their customers and their customers love them.

Whether it’s for help, a question, or just to say hello, their customer service team is always quick to answer every single email and call. True story – customers have sent care packages to the Harry’s team.

7. More than just razors.

They have a full line of grooming products including shave cream, shave gel, post shave balm and face wash that are made in the US. They’ve also won more than a handful of grooming awards.

By now you’ve probably been inundated by hundreds of ads and commercials from shaving companies caught up in the “razor wars.” We dug a little bit deeper into one of them to see why all of a sudden every guy seems to be switching to Harry’s for all their shaving needs.

ABOUT HARRY’S

HARRY’S WAS BUILT OUT OF RESPECT
for quality craftsmanship, simple design, modern convenience and most importantly for guys who know they shouldn’t have to overpay for a great shave.

EVOLVED MODEL
We design and manufacture our own products using an exacting construction process and only the finest materials. By selling directly to you online, we’re able to shave away the excess and offer a great shave at a price accessible to every Tom, Dick and…(sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves).

QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
We spent over a year meticulously crafting our first Harry’s line. Our blades are made by German engineers with decades of experience honing high-grade steel. Our handles were designed to blend timeless simplicity and modern ergonomics. Our shaving cream comes from the same chemists who make creams for high-end brands. The result: a set of modern shaving products made with respect for the tradition of a good, clean shave.

OUR FACTORY
We own our German factory and the entire process, from grinding high-grade steel to sending razors to your door. This means we can take your input and create products that make your shave even better. Our team of more than four hundred German engineers, designers, craftsmen, and production workers build and operate sophisticated, custom equipment that produces millions of precision Harry’s blades per year. Each day, we continue to innovate and make the fine blades you deserve. SEE OUR FACTORY

GIVE A SHAVE
Shaving accompanies many of life’s milestones. But a razor isn’t the only tool people need to realize their full potential. That’s why we donate 1% of our sales and volunteer 1% of our time to organizations, like our current partner City Year, that prepare people for personal and professional success. We call it Harry’s One Plus One.

MEET THE FOUNDERS ANDY KATZ-MAYFIELD & JEFF RAIDER

We’ve been close friends since we were college interns. We’ve worked together, traveled to far off places together and shared thousands of ideas.

Jeff went on to co-found Warby Parker, while Andy moved out West to “study.” We’ve tried to build Harry’s to reflect our shared passions and values: affinity for simple design, appreciation of well-made things, and a belief that companies should try to make the world a better place.
