Reviews mention

  • Close, comfortable shave performance
  • Weighty, ergonomic razor handle
  • Sophisticated, memorable body-wash fragrances
  • Effective extra-strength antiperspirant
  • Inconsistent blade sharpness quality
  • Occasional nicks and irritation
  • Lubrication strip gets gloopy
  • Blades may rust quickly

Harry’s earns largely positive reviews for close, comfortable shaves, sleek handles, and standout scents (Fig, Stone, Redwood), though blade sharpness and consistency divide users. Reviews praise the razors for sensitive skin and unisex use and laud the Extra-Strength Antiperspirant for reliable sweat control, but report issues like occasional nicks, quicker dulling or rust, itchy first use, a gloopy lubrication strip, and mixed results on closeness versus Gillette/Flamingo/Schick.

  • Harry's makes top-quality grooming items. While it is marketed for men, I find the quality attractive to me as a female, and it is very affordable. I also have given gift sets from Harrys to male friends and family, and they were quite pleased due to the quality of the items. The quality makes the items long-lasting, and they work well.

  • Love Harry’s razors! Such a great product selection for great prices. I don’t even bother trying to use women’s razors. I do wish the blades last longer but glad replacements are reasonably priced.

  • Solid razors at a good price point, especially compared to other brands. My husband has used the same handle for over 10 years and it's holding up great. We just picked up a new one this weekend that came with a giant pack of blades at Costco and I compared them — same quality, same weight, same design a decade later. Occasional Costco sales are a great time to stock up on blades for the next six months. I also like the body wash in fig (great scent).

  • I've used a ton of Harry's products and happy with all of them. The stars are their body wash (stone especially) and aftershave. Their razor is pretty good (def better than bigger brands like gillette and much cheaper). Their shaving cream is okay but probably not specifically designed for thicker facial hair I have, and peppermint shampoo is great.

  • My husband and adult sons like the 5-bladed Harry’s shavers and enjoy the timeless look of the razor handle. However, it needs to stay competitive in price with another well known brand the other one works just as well.

  • Harry’s does a lot of things well. I know that shaving is the primary focus, but the rest of their product line is worth trying. I have tried the shave gel (good), after shave balm (outstanding), moisturizer (pretty good), all the soaps, all the bodywashes, the scalp scrub (great), the 2 in 1 shampoo (okay), and the shaving razor and blades. The razor and blades are good, but might be flimsy for some people. I basically use them for touch up after my first pass with a safety razor. The deodorants are just okay. I tried redwood and stone and once was enough for each. and The soap and bodywash aromas I recommend are: grove (excellent) wildlands (also excellent), and stone (highest possible recommendation. Same goes for the soaps. The face wash is a daily staple that I would highly recommend. Most importantly, they seem to actually care about the causes they support. It’s cool to see their focus on mental health and lgtbq+ rights.

    Razors, Soaps, & Skincare: My Detailed Harry's Review After 7 Years

  • There are 2 things about Harry’s that I’ve always loved: first, the smell is out of this world! In the beginning, I just wanted to bathe in the shaving cream because I loved it so much. I’ve been using Harry’s since it was only mail order. Cost is less than most blades and product is great

  • I've tried Harry's shave cream, post-shave balm and the Truman 5-blade razor handle. I wouldn't say that Harry's has revolutionized shaving for me, but damn does it feel good to not get ripped off by Gillette anymore. The blades last just as long as Gillette's but at half the cost. The packaging fro the Truman 5-blade razor handle was also plastic-less, which was great to see in a product category that is usually riddled with it. I also really like the shave cream, the aloe in it does help with soothing and the format and size make it great for traveling.

    Would love to see more environmentally friendly/compostable materials make there way into your product line, e.g., like the razor covers, razor handles, or shaving cream packaging.

  • I wasn’t expecting to love a body wash this much—but Harry’s Fig Body Wash completely won me over. The scent is incredible—a perfect balance of subtly sweet and earthy, with a warm richness that lingers just the right amount after a shower. It smells natural and sophisticated, not overpowering or artificial. Beyond the fragrance, the formula itself is fantastic. It lathers easily, rinses clean without any residue, and leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed, never stripped or dry. The texture is smooth and silky, and a little goes a long way. Harry’s nailed it with this one—this body wash feels like a small luxury I actually look forward to using every day. I’ve even had compliments on how good I smell after using it. Highly recommend if you want to upgrade your shower game!

  • Oddly enough, this male-dominated body care line has one of my favorite scents. Their cedar + orange body wash is as close as I’ve found to the notes of Glossier You in the body wash aisle. It’s light, refreshing, and lasts all day!

  • As someone who stress sweats, Harry's Extra-Strength Antiperspirant Stick is a godsend. Since finding this product at a Target five years ago, I have consistently repurchased it. I wore it at my wedding, during the bar exam, and to hot yoga. It has never let me down. If you're a woman like me or just want a fresh, clean scent, go for Stone. It's light and citrusy and definitely unisex. Truly a holy grail product.

  • Bought my shave kit at Costco. I was pleasantly surprised with it as I’ve been a Gillete user forever! Keep one in the shower and one for travel.

  • Got my fiancé the Odor and Enhanced Sweat Control Extra Strength Antiperspirant in Redwood and it is amazing. He used to use OS but it just wasn’t cutting it anymore with him working outside. This smells amazing and it’s actually helping him not sweat as much and even though he one day he forgot to put it on he didn’t sweat as much or smell as bad. It’s a great size of product and it was cost efficient. The only bummer was there were only 2 scents at the store, wish there were more and hopefully they’ll expand to more soon!

    More scents!

  • Do not! I repeat! DO NOT SHAVE YOUR HEAD WITH THESE RAZORS! I now have a permanent scar on the top of my head. The recommendation to not use it on your head is in very small print. I will never use them again I am permanently scared.

  • Bought one for each of my girls, I wish they came in different colors

  • I’ve been exclusively using Harry’s razors to shave for a few years now. They are definitely sharper and last longer than regular razors advertised towards women. I get at least 3-4 shaves before I dispose. Only qualm is the price. I wish they were a little cheaper.

  • Harry's is great. The handle is grippy and a good weight, also I love the bold orange color. The blades are high quality and typically last around 2 weeks for me. The biggest positive though is that generally Harry's doesn't give me shaving rash (unlike almost every other band). What more is there to say?

    Feedback

    After a couple of weeks, the blades sometimes give me micro cuts on my jaw - this is no different from any other brand though. Maybe I'm just bad at shaving? I really didn't like the smell of their shave foam. It's way too perfumed and with a stereotypically masculine smell that kind of makes me want to gag. I much prefer something unscented.

  • Harry's is, by now, a classic men's grooming brand. They make several staple products in a men's grooming routine, and all in sleek packaging.

    Feedback

    I do wish they would do a deeper dive into ingredients that are being used now in skincare & stay innovative.

  • Harry’s razors are top-notch! They provide a smooth, close shave without irritation, and the quality of the blades is impressive. The handle is ergonomic and feels premium, plus the subscription service is super convenient. I’ve been using Harry’s for a while now and won’t switch to any other brand—definitely a game-changer for my grooming routine!
