Despite the fact that I haven’t shaved in over 7 years, I won’t be winning a facial hair competition any time soon. That’s because I use a beard trimmer to maintain that “I shaved 4 days ago” look. I don’t plan on ever going back to shaving with a razor, but if I do I’ll consider Harry’s. They’re a New York, NY based company that was started “out of respect for quality craftsmanship, simple design, modern convenience and most importantly for guys who know they shouldn’t have to overpay for a great shave.” Back in my shaving days, the choice was to use Gilette’s latest “development” or to use some cheap alternative that would irritate my face even more (like the free razor that I got as a freshman in college). I believed the marketing hype and went with the expensive option, even though it still didn’t give me a great shave.

Harry’s Not Hairy’s

Not that long ago it would be unfathomable that anyone would start a company to challenge the major CPG companies for the shaving business, but that’s exactly what Harry’s and a few other companies have done. Social media/online marketing (and a strong referral program) and subscription billing options have given Harry’s the opportunity to build a solid business selling German engineered blades. They have also made it possible to compete on both quality and price–you usually have to pick one or the other. While selling shaving products makes for a pretty simple business, competing with behemoths like P&G will certainly make things interesting. If you want to help Harry’s offer “a great shave at a fair price,” check out their Careers page. Right now they have a ton of positions posted including:

• Acquisition Marketing Associate
• Customer Experience Associate
• Data Analyst
• Email Marketing & Retention Associate
• Front End Engineer
• Retail Experience Associate
• Software Engineer

There’s also an option to apply for an unlisted position.
