I tried Harry's when they first started. I was excited at the prospect of ditching Gillette. For some reason, I get nicks and cuts when I shave with a safety razor (the last time I tried). I do shave after showering, to keep the hair soft.

But Harry's just didn't cut it (no pun intended). I got many more nicks and cuts with Harry's than I did with Gillette. Plus, their shaving cream gummed up the razor, and cleaning was a pain. So after a few days, I had to go back to Gillette, and Harry's is sitting in the corner somewhere. Maybe it's their 5-blade monster; I don't know.

Yeah, I tried Harry's as well. Seems like they have a couple of serious faults: * head doesn't easily pivot so it follows your face less well. * they back too many blades into too small a space, so it packs up easily. Even strong stream of water doesn't clear it. * their shaving cream stinks to high even, for a long time.

Generally it seems like Harry's requires twice as much cleaning and twice as manys strokes to match the normal gillete or similar brands.
