Shave a lot? check out Harry's(Now with review).

[Thizzelle]

how is weight difference of handles between the 2?

[F34R]

Both have more weight to them than any other brand handle I own(Schick, Gillette). The Winston weights more than the Truman.

I just got mine today and tried it out and am very impressed. I got a Truman handle and 8 blades (I read the shave soap was sub par so I skipped getting it). As F34R said, attention to detail is very high and everything looks very nice. The handle feels nice and has a good weight, though the coating on the handle is a bit plastic-y. For the price though, this is only a slight downfall and doesn't make the razor shave any different.

I used to use a Gillette Fusion Proglide and Harry's razors are better. The head doesn't so much pivot as it does flex. There is no pin that it pivots on but rather a piece of rubber molded into the razor on each side that flexes. It's a bit stiffer than any other razor I've used and took a little getting used to, but once I did I liked it better.

The blades themselves seem very sharp and cut very nicely. Any hair on my face over the length of stubble used to catch with the Fusion. Today I had 1/8"-1/4" long hair on my chin and the Harry's blade sailed through it without any pulling.

I will definitely be using these from now on.

Oh, and pro-tip for those who get razor burn, try shaving with the grain, then across the grain. This will give you a close shave without having to shave against the grain.

I tried that handle out, I liked that the polymer coating acted as an anti slip with wet hands.

1+ This is how I always do it.

Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. Style, cost effective and gets the job done extremely well.

Today was the first shave I have had in years without irritation, very happy with my Truman. Ordered a set for the father in law too!

[mcr_driver]

Waiting for my father to get his then I'll probably order one for myself pending first hand impressions but liking the response back guys thanks.

1st shave was today. Took a bit to get use to it but I do like it better. The wife definitely noticed. The biggest difference is the Mach 3 swivels easier however the blades IMO are not as good. I'll be interested to see what I think after a month. Blade longevity will be something I'm interested in.

I got a surprised a few days ago with the Winston (my birthday was last week). I finally tried this today and I am thoroughly impressed! I havent shaved in 2 years. For a while I was passing with just a face trimmer, so I was worried about being a noob at shaving again. It definitely wasnt as bad as I expected probably because this is easy to use. The shaving cream is awesome too. Now to wait and see how long the blades last.

The packaging was really neat and I got a kick out of the directions they give you in the Winston set.
The handle feels awesome to hold and the way the razor pivots was strange at first, but I started liking it more after I got used to it.

Absolutely would recommend this.

I have been using mine every other day and on the same blade since my review. Cuts just as good as the first day.

My brother and father LOVE it, that is good coming from my father that has been shaving a long time. Glad everyone else has been enjoying this product!

[giantkeeper]

My Truman has been relegated to the wife's leg shaving activity. Great quality, it just doesn't work for my face :0(

[F34R]

My Sister has one now too, she loves it. I love mine, it works amazing and on the second blade.

USPS, and make sure you use the link in my first post! You will not be disappointed with these. Cuts clean and lasts a good long time, I am on my second blade since I ordered all those months ago.

[spike68]

Been using it every day since june and im still on my first blade. need to order some more shaving cream though. Are you guys still using harrys cream? or have you swiched to products you can actually buy in the store? lol

anyways, mine works amazing and I havent noticed any change in the way the blade cuts since I got it. I have cut myself with it though, but that me just being careless while rushing to get ready for work.
