About Harry’s
The Harry's brand is built on the principle that every person deserves a quality shave at a fair price. We offer our products direct to customers on our website - www.harrys.com - at a fraction of the price of similar products sold by other brands. And, because we sell directly, we get to know our customers very well and ensure that we make and offer the products that our customers really want and value.
