Prior to finding Shave Essentials I was a Harry’s customer. Loved their blades but hated their politics so I left and found Shave Essentials. I bought the original 5 blade razor and blades but the blades tended to pull the whiskers and scratch the face but I loved the company and stuck with them. I jumped on the Black Label product as soon as SE offered it in hopes that the blades had been improved and sure enough they nailed it. I absolutely love the new Black Label razor and blades. They literally took the bite out of the 5 blade cartridge. No more pulling or scratching. And the razor has a very good feel and beautiful look to it! BTW, the blades are as good if not better than Harry’s!!!
