Harry’s offers two models, the Truman and the Winston.  (No explanation is provided for the company’s name, but it’s clearly an homage to famous Harry’s of yesteryear.)  Harry’s worked with an American industrial designer who modeled the razors after classic ballpoint pens and butter knives; the razors and blades are produced by a German firm that’s been in the business for 80 years.

The Truman handle is $10; the Winston, $20.  A Truman kit (contains the handle, 3 blades, and a tube of shave cream) is $15; the Winston kit (same items), $25.  What’s more remarkable is that eight multi blade replacement cartridges cost a mere $15!  18 cartridges sell for $25.

As a comparison, 8 Gillette Fusion cartridges will set you back $29.99 at Walgreens (18 for $37.99); at Walmart.com, 6 Fusion cartridges are $30.47 (12 sell for $39.47).

I’m a sucker for a deal, and love (like Warby Parker) the product’s classic design, so I ordered the Truman shortly after the company’s launch:

The packaging is faithful to the retro vibe, and is nicely executed:

I ordered 8 blades in addition to the 3 which come with the Truman kit; they were shipped as 4 packs:

The Truman features a polymer handle bonded to a solid zinc rod.  The handle features the Harry “H” logo:

The cartridges feature five blades, a lubricating strip, and of course remove easily.  The cartridge installed on the handle is shipped with a protective plastic sheath:

The handle has a satisfying heft to it.  If you shave in the shower, however, you may find it slipping downward in your fingers, due to the smooth surface:

A close-up of the cartridge:

Like Warby Parker, Harry’s has a strong charitable angle.  For each pack of blades purchased, the company donates one blade (or its equivalent dollar value) to a charitable organization.  Its first partner in this regard is The Mission Continues, an organization that benefits veterans of recent wars.

‘Capsule wardrobe’ is a term coined by Susie Faux, who was and is the owner of London boutique ‘Wardrobe’, in the 1970s. She considers that a capsule wardrobe is a collection of a few essential items of clothing that will not go out of fashion, such as skirts, trousers and coats, which can then be up-dated with seasonal pieces.This idea was popularised by American designer Donna Karan, who, in 1985, released an influential capsule collection of seven interchangeable work-wear pieces.

Yesterday I happened upon two sites which feature numerous posts about this approach, and thought they might be useful to our female readers.  The first is The Vivienne Files.  Here are a few images from a recent post entitled “How to wear an olive v-neck sweater:”

Sweater – Joseph, earrings – Astley Clarke, scarves – Hermes, jeans – Ralph Lauren, boots –  Officine,  earrings – Miguel Ases, khakis – Vince, loafers – Gravati

Sweater – Burberry Brit, earrings – Hari Jewels, silk blouse – Dries van Noten, pants – Sportmax, lace overlay flats – Giuseppe Zanotti, opal earrings – Kimberly McDonald, shirt & skirt – Burberry, pumps – Frye

The second site is called Inside Out Style.  It’s full of fashion, beauty, and and wardrobe tips.   From a recent series of posts devoted to finding your best neutral colors based upon hair color (prices and links to retailers are provided) -
