Grooming with Harry’s – The Truman Set Review

Unlike the elaborate skincare ritual I embrace, when it comes to shaving, I want things simple. There’s nothing basic about my simple though. Known for an uncomplicated approach to a task I have yet to enjoy, Harry’s offered to send The Truman Set my way a few weeks ago. My morning routine using Harry’s is easy without being lazy and the brand’s classic aesthetic adds a vibe to the shower that feels very “masc chic”.

A few steps above the competition, Harry’s focuses on superb quality and craftsmanship. The savings, are literally, a bonus. Offering two razor options, Truman (4 blades) and Winston (5 blades), you can treat yourself to a set, including a handle, three blade cartridges, a razor head travel case and a Foaming Shave Gel or Shaving Cream for $15 or $25 respectively. If you prefer to shop à la carte, other add-ons include a Razor Stand, After Shave Moisturizer, and various refill choices.

Available in four colors (orange, blue, ivory and olive) and designed in NYC, the Truman handle serves perfectly sculpted ergonomic realness. Substantial yet lightweight, with a comfortable grip and sleek curves, this stylish razor ups your sinkside game with its visual appeal. Trendier and more affordable than the big names on the market, Harry’s performance is most definitely noteworthy.

With four German engineered blades to a cartridge, the Truman razor is simple but refined. Cut to angled precision, the blades glide over the face smoothly for an ultra close shave. While I’m far from being crafty with any shaving tool in hand, there have been no nicks, cuts, nor irritation with Harry’s. The Aloe and Vitamin E comfort strip sure helps. Hinging over 60 degrees, this razor gets around seamlessly, addressing challenging areas like the jawline and around the mouth. Not gonna lie but considering the quality of my Truman Set, I actually do wonder how can it be so inexpensive?!

Foaming Shave Gel

Complementary to my Harry’s shaving ritual and ensuring a smooth experience is the Foaming Shave Gel. Packed with calming Licorice Root Extract, nourishing Aloe, and soothing Cucumber, this lightly scented gel-to-foam formula softens the hair for the ideal pre-shave prep. Great on all skin types, this hydrating foam is packaged in a dapper aerosol tin that will give every shower a #TopShelfie status.

Yes, please.
Yes, please.

You really do not have a reason not to try The Truman Set for $15. Exploring the concept via this popular offering is a fantastic way to upgrade your shaving routine and discover new favorites. Receiving just cartridge refills on auto-delivery is also an option. Evolving from a casual summer encounter into something more serious, I can see myself and Harry doing the long term thing.

Available at harrys.com with select products at birchbox.com. Prices range from $8 to $40.
