Harry's is an American company that manufactures and sells shaving equipment and men's personal care products via online and retail channels. The company is known for their subscription service where customers receive new razor blades, shaving cream, and other grooming products by mail. Harry's is based in New York.[3][4][5][6][7]
The company was founded in July 2012 by Andy Katz-Mayfield and Jeff Raider.[1] The company launched its subscription service in 2013.[8] In 2014, Harry's purchased the Feintechnik razor factory in Germany.[9] In May 2019, Edgewell Personal Care announced it would purchase Harry's.[10][11] In February 2020, the Federal Trade Commission sued Edgewell to block the merger, stating that the merger could hurt competition.[12]
