The company's signature shaving cartridges, made by its factory in Germany, have been given a complete overhaul. Among the changes are differently spaced blades for more even cutting, a better flex hinge, and a rear blade for precise edge trimming.
Harry's Co-CEO Jeff Raider told Business Insider that the changes have been in the works for nearly two years, with millions of dollars invested in the German factory to purchase new machinery.
"We believe that companies should always strive to make their products better, and we try to do that at Harry's everyday," Raider said.
