To be honest, I'm not all that into personal care products. Which is to say extraneous products, at least. I wear sunscreen during long runs or at the beach, I wash and condition my hair, use soap on everything from my hair down, and I fight off the proclivity my feet have for developing calluses with a cream produced for said purpose. Oh, and I use shaving cream and the occasional aftershave balm. That's about it.
But my tendency to keep it simple when it comes to grooming and personal hygiene doesn't mean I don't like great personal care products; in fact, it's quite the opposite. When I find a brand I like, I often jump in with both feet, using their shaving products, soaps, body wash, et al.
This is partially out of simplicity itself: Why not do all your shopping for such goods at one time and from one place, right? But it's also because using products from a single brand leaves me with a consistent scent and with my skin feeling evenly healthy.
As you might have guessed by now, after I tried a couple of products from Harry's, I took said two-footed jump. And I bet you will, too, because their stuff is both well made and fairly priced.
Having grown a four-day beard, my face was the perfect testing ground for shaving cream and a brand-new, five-bladed razor featuring Swedish steel and German craftsmanship. Harry's Shave Cream lathered up nicely and had a vaguely minty scent. Unlike many men's shaving creams, I didn't notice any burn or tingle, sensations I don't mind, frankly, but you might.
Once I started shaving, I could tell the razor was a fine one indeed.
My cheeks usually take a least two passes after four days without a shave, but this thing made a clean sweep on the first swipe. Only my chin, hirsute ground zero on my face, required several passes for full hair removal, but overall I was impressed with the performance of my new Harry's razor. Getting all the hair out of the blade took a while, but that's partially my fault for letting my beard grow in.
I finished the shave off with Harry's Post-Shave Balm, a moisturizing lotion that I'm sure would have been soothing as well, but, frankly, my face wasn't in need of much soothing, so I'll just give the balm the benefit of the doubt. It left my face smelling vaguely like Christmas (confirmed by my wife) which was great, because Christmas.
Being sold on the shaving products, I next tried out one of Harry's body washes. And as that's a topic a bit too intimate for polite company, we'll leave it there in covering my personal ablutions and pivot to the purchasing process, which is quick and easy whether you're buying one-off products or setting up your own personal Shave Plan.
You can use Harry's website to establish a customized package for yourself (say, shaving cream, fresh blades, and a bar of their fig-scented soap) and choose delivery frequency, then you'll never have to think about buying grooming and hygiene products again. Until you choose to add another Harry's product to the mix.
The bottom line:
Harry's shaving products live up to the hype, and they're affordable, too. You'll even find them at Target, making the relatively young startup even more accessible to the masses.
