I have had a beard for over thirty years. It was black once, and now it is grey. But the part of shaving that has always been uncomfortable is shaving the neck. So when I saw, in Saturday’s Wall Street Journal, an article “The Grooming Kit” about Jeff Raider’s online shaving company Harrys.com, it caught my eye. Apparently, Raider upset the high-quality eyewear industry and is now setting out to do it in shaving. Any guy knows that the razors he buys have a very high profit margin in them for Gillette or whomever. Harry’s seems to combine German manufacturing at a much lower price than the big guys, plus no tax and free shipping and handling. I ordered my razor and some blades Sunday but the starter kits were sold out, as were most of the handles. Writing about an improved shave is like telling a golfer he is going to save a few strokes on his score. In both cases, they are going to buy it! It seems like a great deal.
