I started on my sideburns and the trimmer blade glided right through the hair, no tugging or pulling and didn’t leave any behind. I was impressed and had the thought “could I shave with just this one blade?” The answer is kind of. I did one line, top to bottom, and it performed well but the hair started clogging up the blade about ¾ of the way down my cheek. Not a negative on the trimmer blade though! It cut just fine. a b Cava, Marco della (June 10, 2014). "Change Agents: Harry's has shaving in a lather". USA Today. At Harry’s we engineer our men’s razor blades using a ‘gothic arch’ structure. This makes our razor blades sharp and guys who shave at least four times per week say their eighth shave with a Harry’s razor feels as smooth as their first.

It’s funny, or odd, that you’d say in the very same review, “The one criticism that I had of this blade [the original] was that… it didn’t have a trimming blade. So when they announced that change, I decided to test it out!” and “I was holding the razor in my hand and as I moved it around, I grabbed it from the top and I could feel that blade start to give me a very fine cut on my finger.” Such is the approach of the new wave of subscription-based shaving products, and Harry’s Razors is at the vanguard. Originally set up to topple giants such as Gillette with promises of a simpler, more convenient approach and lower prices for replacement blades, Harry’s Razors claim to be “shaving’s other guys”. I set out to put that claim to the test. Harry’s Razors review: What you need to know Barr, Sabrina (26 March 2018).

The Shave

The new blades, launched on September 7th, 2020, add a slightly smoother blade edge, visible in the comparison photo below, and improve upon the lubricating strip as well. The all time best shave “system” Gillette Mach 3 Power Razor. The three blades are perfect for a close shave and easier to rinse clean for the next stroke. I feel the “Power” part of the handle helped the blades go through my beard even after not shaving for a few weeks. I was able to get multiple shaves from the blades but this might be assisted by the vibrating handle. I am not sure why Gillette is trying to phase out the Mach 3 blades/systems, they, for me are far better than the Fusion. I guess the Fusion’s extra blades allows Gillette to charge more than what they are truly worth. Fancy trying something new?
