Harry's concept is similar, an online-only, delivery model at low cost, but their branding really emphasize the quality of the blade. They build their story around buying a blade factory in Germany... Now I wonder with Harry's being the second player, if they emphasized blade quality to hit DSC where it hurts.
I have recent blades from DSC (the mid tier 4 blade type) and Harry's and do not find the Harry's any sharper. Harry's hinge also has less range / more resistance (which can be good or bad depending on technique).
I've tried Gillette, Harry's and DSC and ended up with Harry's being first preference, DSC a backup. Harry's (subjectively) does seem sharper and smoother, with a caveat that I shave in hot shower, with skin being soft, pores being open and all, the experience probably differs if shaving gel is applied onto a dry face.
My suggestion to stop the clogging is either:
- use a beard trimmer on the shortest setting, and then shave with Harrys
- Try a Bic Metal razor, single blade with lot's of space so it doesn't get clogged
