Quality shaving needn’t cost a fortune, or come with a design that looks more like a spaceship than a hair removal device. By going back to basics and focusing on producing high-quality razors without any needless bells and whistles, Harry’s has carved out a space in the market – and right now, you can bag a kit with everything you need to get started.
The Harry’s Men’s Razor Set is currently £18.25, down from £19 at Amazon. Included is a Harry’s razor handle, a travel cover, five blade refills, and some foaming shaving gel. If you’re looking to treat yourself or fill someone’s stocking this Christmas, this is an easy winner.
Each refill has five German-engineered blades that will provide 10 close, snag-free shaves each, although you may get more use from each refill than that. They easily attach to the ergonomic razor handle, with a grippy rubber exterior and a weighted core that provides a greater degree of control.
The included travel case is handy for keeping all your washbag essentials separate, and the included shaving foam will ensure your skin is primed for a shave every time. The kit’s won a lot of fans at Amazon, with 4.4 out of 5 stars averaged from 1,111 ratings so far.
“Brilliant razor! So worth the money,” said one five-star review. Another said: “This is the best safety razor I have ever used. It is ergonomically perfect and a pleasure to shave with. The shaving foam lubricates well and leaves your skin feeling smooth and fresh.”
Another added: “The set offers a clean, smooth shave with minimal effort. The blades are sharp and long-lasting, while the handle has a solid, comfortable grip. It’s a simple, quality set that gets the job done well.”
However, one shopper wrote: “A minor gripe is the fact the blade doesn’t swivel to follow the contours of your neck.” Another said: “I was surprised at the feel of the handle as it felt cheap and plasticky, although the grip when wet seems to be okay.”
If you’d rather stick with the big names, this Gillette 10-pack will do the job for £22.99 at Superdrug. Alternatively, an electric razor with a single blade is a great option that also provides close, fuss-free shaves, and you can grab one for yourself or a loved one this Christmas in the Philips OneBlade Pro 360 for £39.99 (down from £59.99) at Boots.
