Harry’s Shaving Kit for Men – Razor Handle, 5 Razor Blade Refills, Foaming Shave Gel, and Travel Blade Cover – Ember

I get these offers included in shipments from various mail-order products, and for $3 I get the “Harry’s” starter kit. I was always intrigued because I’ve wanted a razor that would just change blades. What — a billion plastic throw-away razors enter the land fill or oceans a year???. . . . . But I did not want to take the 3-buck offer. I use Amazon, and rarely purchase anything else on line. I was searching for “safety razor” blades because I have my dad’s old safety razor — but then I found Harry’s — I purchased the ‘starter-kit’. . . . . It’s a razor. It is smooth and shaves nicely — and feels good in the hand. The spaces between blades are open and unhindered, so back-flushing gets all the debris out earily.. . . . . Retired and living the Jimmy Buffett life, I only shave about twice a week. So far, I’ve had approximately 30 shaves on the FIRST blade, and today’s shave was nearly as good as the first one! I have four blades left so I’m figuring I’ll get nearly a year before I have to purchase more blades. To me, that’s a good value.. . . . . My only quip is the blade cuts the hair in such a way that — for some odd reason or other — my beard grows back faster than with the Gillette throw-away razors. The hairs also seem to be more prone to becoming ingrown — which is a problem for my curly, kinky hair. But I could be imagining things.. . . . . Overall I’m very happy with the purchase — you should find a razor you can stick with and stop throwing those disposables into the ocean. :-).
