A Harry Situation

written by John Philp May 24, 2018

When it comes to my facial hair, lately I’ve been taking the lazy approach. I’ll keep it pretty neat and trimmed, almost a permanent 3-day unshaven shadow, but every once in a while I crave a smooth & clean-shaven face. If you’ve been strolling through the streets of Soho, you’ve probably seen Harry’s Corner Shop on the corner of Houston & Macdougal. It’s been my go-to whenever I’m in New York City and need a quick trim before an event or just for the weekend. Harry’s is one of my favorite shave brands – they’ve got affordable and quality razors and some great shave creams & gels. I picked up a new shaving set at Walmart, they carry the full line of Harry’s shaving products. They even have an exclusive “Surf Blue” model that’s only available at Walmart! I got the Navy Blue Truman– If you follow me on my social channels, you know it’s my favorite color!

John Philp Menswear Travel Blogger Harry's Maybe it’s just how I learned and grew up shaving – but I prefer a foaming shave gel when I shave. I’ve been pretty happy with Harry’s Shave Gel I got at Walmart because it’s super-hydrating with aloe. I’ll typically shave once I get out of the shower after the pores are open and I’ve cleaned my face. I didn’t realize this until I went to college and was shaving in front of my buddies, but apparently, I shave really fast and am lucky because I’ve only nicked myself a handful of times. Take into account the directions your facial hair grows – and shave with the grain of your hair. You might get a tad closer of a shave if you go against the grain, but you’re also more likely to cut yourself or get razor burn. C’mon – nobody here wants that! Walmart has the full range of Harry’s shaving products available, including the Walmart-exclusive razor. Here are the shave items that I’m using:

Different strokes for different folks — if you’re not into a clean shave, here’s the beard trimmer that I typically use!
