Let’s get one thing straight: I’m a beauty blogger. My desk is an explosion of dewy-finish foundations, sheet masks from three continents, and at least four types of brow gel. But lately, you know what’s been stealing the spotlight in my routine? Razors. Yes, razors. Specifically, Harry’s UK razors—and no, this isn’t your boyfriend’s crusty shower find. This is grooming gone chic.
I stumbled upon Harry’s in the most millennial way possible—by stealing it. From my partner, that is. He left it casually on the bathroom shelf, next to his bland body wash and utilitarian toothpaste, and I was in a rush with a photoshoot in the morning. I needed smooth legs, fast. I expected it to do the job, but what I didn’t expect? A shave so close and comfortable I actually gasped.
Let’s talk design. The handle has that soft matte finish that feels like something you’d find in a Muji-meets-Apple store. It’s weighted just right, not one of those flimsy, plastic pink nightmares. The blade? Sharp—but not terrifying. Glides like butter. I’ve used razors for years, some three times the price, and I’ve never had this combo of smooth + zero irritation + feeling like I’m slicing through air.
So naturally, I did what any responsible content creator would do: I ordered my own. Straight from Harry’s UK. You’ll know it’s legit because their branding is annoyingly stylish. I even got the Truman handle in this muted dusty blue that basically matches my jade roller. Priorities, right?
But here’s the twist I didn’t expect—Harry’s isn’t just about razors. They’ve got a whole grooming line that gives major “clean boy aesthetic” meets beauty cabinet takeover vibes. Their shave gel smells fresh, not aggressively masculine, and pairs beautifully with my usual post-shave balm. I’ve even swapped their face wash into my rotation. It’s simple, effective, and doesn’t compete with the fragrance of my serums. Minimalist skincare nerds, I see you.
Now, am I saying Harry’s has replaced my eight-step nighttime ritual? Absolutely not. But am I saying it’s become a quiet favorite that I reach for without even thinking? 100%. It’s like that one matte lipstick that works on every outfit—quietly reliable, always flattering, and honestly kind of essential.
I will say this: I wish they’d embrace a little more gender-neutral messaging. Because listen, smooth skin is not a “men only” sport. I know I’m not the only girl out here who prefers a clean shave without glitter handles and pink tax pricing. But even with the somewhat bro-coded packaging, I keep going back. Why? Because it works. And at the end of the day, that’s all I ask of anything in my routine.
So if you’ve ever rolled your eyes at your overpriced Venus cartridge or battled mystery bumps post-shave, maybe it’s time to look across the aisle—or just peek at what your partner’s hoarding in the shower. Chances are, it’s Harry’s UK, and honestly? You’re going to want one of your own.
Just don’t be surprised when you start recommending it on your own Instagram stories. Grooming, but make it effortless.
