Ready to sever ties with your shaving brand of choice? Game-changer Harry’s is ready to switch up the grooming market, yet again, with its new Bartershop, a pop-up store where you can trade in unused razorblades for Harry’s selection at the equivalent retail value. With a unique, independent-style razor, the Bartershop promises to multiply your blade supply and improve your shaving philosophy. A testament to the brand, the store features an attractive, tongue-in-cheek bathroom design with illustrations that decorate the wall. Behind the oversized vanity mirror you’ll be greeted by your very own Harry’s specialist – handsomely attired in a bathrobe – who’ll barter you a new shaving experience. The shop mimics the razor’s design, opting for a classic, minimalistic style, providing a personable feel that rejects the hyper-saturated aesthetic of major shaving companies.

The Harry’s Bartershop will be open from October 20 to 26, 2016 at 79 Greene Street, New York City.

Harry’s Releases Second Generation of Razors

Grooming co. Harry’s launches today its newest generation of razors and blades, updated after taking customer feedback into account. The brand’s Truman and the Winston keep their same sleek shape, outfitted in trendy colors and chrome respectively, yet receive a more user-friendly treatment. Both razors are now equipped with rubberized handles, allowing for little slippage even in wet hands. The styles are also newly outfitted with a trimmer blade—added to the backside of the cartridge for detailed shaving—a flex hinge for increased flexibility, and extra spacing to make cleaning easier.

The new Truman and Winston are available in sets online now.

Thom Browne and Harry’s Release Ultra-Luxe Razors

That famous red, white, and blue triple band design is poised to invade shaving bags worldwide as Thom Browne ventures into uncharted facial care territory with Harry’s razors, collaborating on the sophisticated new collection, Thom Browne by Harry’s. The perfect combination of eye-candy and function, one of two razors–electroplated with either 24 karat gold or sterling silver–arrives in a triple-striped leather box of charcoal black or icy silver for an opulent skincare addition that displays on the bathroom vanity just as well as it shaves. Topped off by Harry’s legendary precision-angled blades–including the 60-degree flex hinge and gothic arch shape that make for a cleaner, more comfortable shave–the collection is a daring statement of affluence and a testament to the inherently masculine touches of both brands. Past collaborations by Browne, including the popular Brooks Brothers Black Fleece Line, and projects with online retailer MR PORTER and Nissan Infiniti, prove that the Thom Browne label is just as strong and virile as ever since its 2003 inception, this Harry’s collaboration no exception. With a portion of all proceeds going to support Browne’s favorite charities, God’s Love We Deliver and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, each razor is a celebration of quality in upscale branding and proves that designer vanity never felt, or looked, so good.

Thom Browne by Harry’s is available exclusively at Barneys New York for a limited time.

Harry's Shave Truman Set Fall Line Collection

Harry’s Shave Fall Collection

Harry's Shave Truman Set Fall Line CollectionNow that we’ve moved past the Spring 2014 collections, it’s time to take a look at something a little more now. Like, the first ever fall shaving collection from Harry’s Shave, which dropped just in time for the fall equinox that transpired yesterday. Yes—a collection of shave handles, because clothing isn’t the only thing that needs some seasonal metamorphosis.

Especially around now when work is fully back in session. If that job includes a corporate type office, there’s a good shot that the higher ups around you have taken their heads out of the clouds and aren’t to pleased that you’ve let the hair on your face grow to John Hamm Emmy beard proportions.

The German engineered blades are crafted in a “Gothic Arch” pattern, meaning that each of the four razors in the cartridge are sharpened at different angles. Set on a rubber hinge that moves to the contours of your face, the variation in shape attacks the hair at different angles, leaving nothing but smooth skin in its wake. The handles are made to feel agile, like paintbrushes, with a zinc alloy core and smooth polymer coating.

Harry’s makes their own natural shave cream too, employing a blend of moisturizing marula and coconut oils, protective vitamins E and B5 and soothing milk thistle, cucumber and licorice. Ah, licorice…the shave cream comes with the slightest ever scent of the holidays, the next time you’ll find yourself with the kind of time off from work to allow a revisit more bearded days, which you will then have to summarily shave.

Launched last spring, Harry’s quickly carved out a niche for themselves in purveying quality, vintage inspired cartridge razors and handles at reasonable prices. Makes sense coming from one of the founders of Warby Parker, known for their handsome and wallet-friendly eyewear.
