Harry's is a men's grooming brand that offers high quality shave, body, hair, and skin care products at an exceptional value. Launched in 2013, Harry's redefined the shaving experience and helped pioneer the earliest era of direct to consumer in the process. Since then, the brand has become the #2 shave brand globally and expanded to offer products for every step in its customer's routine.

Harry's is also on a mission to ensure guys have access to quality mental health care. To date, the brand has helped connect over 2 million men to quality mental health resources.

Harry's is part of Mammoth Brands, the modern CPG company behind category-leading brands Harry's, Flamingo, Lume, Mando, and Coterie.
