Harry's Original Shaving Kit review
A razor handle with 15 five-blade refills, built around a flex hinge and precision trimmer for close, comfortable shaves.
Quick take
This kit includes a Harry's Truman razor handle, 15 five-blade refill cartridges, and a travel blade cover. The five-blade design is meant to distribute pressure evenly to help protect against nicks, with a precision trimmer blade for hard-to-reach spots, a flex hinge so blades follow facial contours, and a lubricating strip built into each cartridge.
From our own use
I am relatively new to Harry's shaving products, but the razors give me one of the best shaves I have experienced. I plan to continue purchasing them.

Design and daily use
The flex hinge is the detail most directly tied to shave comfort — it lets the blade head pivot to follow the actual contours of the face rather than shaving at one fixed angle. With 15 refills included upfront, the kit covers a meaningful stretch of regular use before a refill purchase is even needed.
Blade refills
Once the included 15 refills run out, Harry's sells additional cartridge packs separately — a natural second link for repeat buyers restocking their kit.
