Harry's Truman Set Review – Worth It?
Harry's Truman Set is a low-cost shaving kit that includes a foaming shave gel, a razor handle, and three blade cartridges. Is it worth the price? Let’s find out today in our Harry's Truman Set review.
What is Harry's?
Harry’s, also known as HF Global, Inc., is a men’s healthcare company that promises to provide high-quality razors at an affordable price.
The company’s Truman Set is one of the more popular options. Priced at $15, the set contains a basic shaving kit with a razor, replacement cartridges, and foaming shave gel.
Harry’s claims the products are “designed and formulated for a quality shave”. In addition to the Truman Set, Harry’s sells a higher priced kit called the Winston Set for $25. You can also purchase individual Harry’s Blades for $2 or less.
The company sells its products online. However, they also recently launched a barber shop and retail store in New York City where customers can come in for a shave or purchase Harry’s products.
The difference between Harry’s and other razor blades is that Harry’s is the only company to manufacture its own blades and sell them directly to consumers. The company promises that this leads to high-quality blades at a low price.
In other to manufacture its own blades, Harry’s actually purchased a century-old razor blade manufacturing facility in Germany. Today, you can purchase those blades directly from the company online or at the company’s barber shop in Soho, New York City.
What is the Truman Set?
The Truman Set is one of two core products offered by Harry’s. It includes four separate products required for shaving. The products are delivered in a compact cardboard box.
Each box includes:
- 1 Foaming Shave Gel (4.0oz)
- 1 Truman Razor Handle
- 3 German Engineered Blade Cartridges
- 1 Travel Blade Cover
The set promises to have “all you need to get started with Harry’s” while offering a “great shave at a fair price.”
You can purchase the razor in three colors, including Total Orange, Nautilus Blue, and Olive 107 (green).
Free shipping is available on all orders over $10. The company sells its products across the United States and Canada. You can purchase the products online or in-store (in New York City).
About Harry’s Manufacturing Process
Harry’s designs and manufactures its own razor blades. The company’s About Us page: [Harrys.com/our-story] claims that it uses “an exacting construction process and only the finest materials.”
Despite the high level of quality, Harry’s claims that it sells its blades at half the cost of most leading companies. Harry’s blades are priced at around $2, while other blades are priced at around $4.
Here’s how Harry’s explains its high level of quality and low cost:
“By selling directly to you online, we're able to shave away the excess and offer a great shave at a price accessible to every Tom, Dick and…(sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves).”
Harry’s manufactures its blades at a factory in Germany. In fact, they claim to be the only brand in the world that makes razor blades and sends them directly to consumers.
Although Harry’s is a relatively new company, they claim that the German factory has been manufacturing high-quality razor blades since 1920. The team of over 400 engineers and specialists produces millions of blades each year.
