A Razor Story

October 22nd, 2019 at 07:50 pm

Over a year ago I found a deal on the razor blades my husband likes. He only started using them in the last six months, and recently mentioned he didn't think they were good. He said he kept cutting himself. Darn, maybe they sell production seconds off in bulk for less?

He had seen those Harry's razors at Target awhile back and seemed intrigued, but was still using up the bad batch of razors. I should clarify the blades worked, but wouldn't last as long before he started cutting himself.

Harry's blades can also be found online and I think I had a MyPoints or Swagbucks deal to try them for free (plus shipping). So they sent a blade, razor handle and small can of shaving gel for about $3 in shipping. He really liked the blades and the handle. We decided to let them send a batch of 8 blades for $16. And because he liked the gel too, we added that to the order for another $6. No shipping costs added this time.

I'm not usually a fan of these subscription services, so we will see how this works in the long run. I thought I'd mention it in case anyone wanted to try Harry's out.

What do you buy on subscription service? Do you have a favorite razor blade?

    Is there any coloring in the shave cream? Or soy (including lecithin)? I've been trying to find something for my son, but he's very allergic to coloring and allergic to soy (which I've found in toothpaste, even).

    I meant gel, not cream.

    Yes, LR there's coloring in the gel. I'm disappointed now looking at it. Why so much crap has to be in our products. I copied and pasted the ingredients below for the gel.

    Water (Aqua), Palmitic Acid, Triethanolamine, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Sorbitan Stearate, Methyl Gluceth-20, Stearic Acid, Sorbitol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Panthenol, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Silybum Marianum (Milk Thistle) Extract, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil Glycerides, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Dimethicone PEG/PPG-20/23 benzoate, Dimehticone PEG-8 Benzoate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Glycerin, Diethanolamine, Sodium Nitrate, Sodium Chloride, Butylene Glycol, Fragrance (Parfum), Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Benzoic Acid, Sorbic Acid, Blue 1 (CI 42090)

    I see there is a cream too. Three sizes and three prices. Medium is 3.4oz, $8, but discounts for buying more at a time. Here are those ingredients:
    Water (Aqua), Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Methyl Gluceth-20, Sodium Isostearoyl Lactylate, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Propanediol, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Powder, Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-7, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol, PEG-150 Distearate, BHT, Disodium EDTA, Dipropylene Glycol, Menthoxypropanediol

    I'm curious if it's that much better. DH has only electric but maybe my dad.

    Thanks. The cream looks okay, but not the gel.

  6. Lucky Robin Says:
    1571871671

    Oh, wait, not it is not. It has BHT.

    I had a feeling once I saw all those ingredients that likely neither work. Can you find a soap with very simple ingredients that can be lathered up, like the old fashioned way with a brush? Good luck!

    LAL, I have no idea if it's that much better. It's better than the bad batch of razors for sure, but may be comparable in quality to the big name brands. However, this seemed less expensive compared to what he normally buys. We'll see. Obviously, not trying to force it on anyone. My husband was just interested, so he tried it and seemed to like it.
