This week, Aaron and Nathan dive into the fascinating world of Harry's, the American shaving supply company that bravely took on industry giants and won.

In this Episode:

- Founding Story of Harry's: Discover how co-founders Andy Katz-Mayfield and Jeff Raider disrupted the market. Inspired by Andy's frustrating experience buying razors at a gas station, Harry’s aimed to transform the shaving category in a way similar to how Warby Parker changed eyewear.

- Manufacturing Insights: Learn about Harry’s unique manufacturing process, involving everything from liquefying specialty steel from Sweden to packaging and assembly in China.

- The Market Landscape: Get an overview of the competitive shaving market, the substantial barriers to entry, and how Harry's managed to carve out a significant piece of the pie, even gaining big-box retailer interest like Target.

- The Value of Customer Feedback: Hear how Harry’s leverages customer feedback for product strategy and how their vertical integration helped reduce costs and ensure quality.

- The Co-CEO Dynamic: Explore the unconventional co-leadership model that Andy and Jeff employed, and what it might mean for the future of managerial structures in startups.

- Fundraising and Expansion: Follow Harry’s journey from raising a $4 million seed round to generating $750 million in revenue by 2023, with plans to potentially go public by 2024 or 2025.

Special Highlights:

- The iconic history of shaving, from King Camp Gillette’s first safety razor to the modern multi-blade designs.

- The importance of international expansion with Temu cooling off in America and refocusing on Europe.

- Insight into potentially lucrative partnerships and acquisitions, like the next-generation infant formula company "By Heart."

Thought-Provoking Questions:

- Could another company have challenged Gillette when Harry’s emerged?

- What are the next frontiers for Harry’s as they aim to become the next P&G or Unilever?
