As of May 2019, this autonomy may change. Why? Because Harry's was purchased by Edgewell Personal Care company for $1.37 billion in cash and stocks.

By bringing the disruptive Harry's under Edgewell's control, the complaint alleges, the proposed acquisition would eliminate important and growing competition among suppliers of wet shave razors, and would inflict significant harm on consumers of razors across the United States.

Our blades are engineered and manufactured in our factory in Eisfeld, Germany using Swedish steel, our handles are made in China and our face, body, and hair care products are formulated in labs in the US and UK.

The razors have an open back. You can beat it against the sink or blast it with water all you want, there's always going to be a bunch of old, moldy hair stuck inside your razor. With Harry's, the back is open and a quick rinse under the faucet or showerhead gets rid of all hair on the blade.
