Harry’s Plus vs Original
I’ve been using Harry’s for years, so I was keen to try the new Harry’s Plus. After a few weeks, I can honestly say I still prefer the older version.
The Plus definitely feels more premium in the hand — it’s more weighted and heavier on the blades — but that doesn’t translate to a better shave for me. The older Harry’s razors seemed to spread and glide across the skin more naturally. The Plus feels more clamped to your face, almost rigid.
Best way I can describe it: it’s like driving a fast sports car with no suspension. Quick and sharp, but you feel every bump.
It’s not terrible — it still gives a close shave — but comfort took a step back in my opinion.
Score: 6/10
I’ll be going back to the original Harry’s razors and really hope they don’t stop producing them.
