The Harry’s Plus razor feels solid in the hand. I liked the rubberized grip when my hands were wet, and the smaller size compared with the Schick razor I had alongside. The shave was clean and close, too.
I reviewed the five-cartridge value pack in green (a color I quite liked). The Harry’s Plus razor gets a thumbs up from me.

Our review of the Harry’s Plus razor
Handle and grip
The handle has some heft to it and feels comfortable to hold. The finish looks more premium than the original Harry’s razor.
I particularly liked the rubberized section at the bottom. That texture helps with gripping the handle when your hands are wet.
Changing the cartridge
Changing a cartridge was easy. The video shows the old cartridge coming off and a fresh one going on.
Precision trimmer
There’s a separate trimming blade on the back of the cartridge for smaller areas, such as just under the nose. The main cartridge and its lubrication strip can get in the way in that tight space, so I liked having the smaller edge to work with.
Size and maneuverability
I placed the Harry’s Plus razor next to a Schick razor to compare the size. The blades looked about the same width. The Harry’s Plus cartridge wasn’t quite as tall, though, and the overall razor was a little shorter.
As I said in the video, “It definitely gives you more maneuverability.” The Harry’s Plus also gave me a clean, close shave.
Price and value
In the video, I mentioned the following approximate prices for different cartridge packs:
Pack discussed in the review and Approximate price quoted
Three-cartridge pack $15
Five-cartridge pack $20
Twelve-cartridge pack $28
These are the prices I mentioned in the video. Check the exact pack before ordering, since Amazon prices and offers can change.
At around $20 for the five-cartridge pack, I thought the razor offered good value. The handle felt well made, and I was happy with the shave.
Have a look for Subscribe & Save if that option appears on your chosen pack. Compare the total with the one-time price to see whether there’s a saving.
