Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh criticize ‘woke’ razor brand for promoting ‘mutilation and sterilization’.
The Daily Wire Hosts Criticize Harry’s Razor Company for Supporting Transgender Activist Group
The Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh recently expressed their disapproval of razor company Harry’s for promoting the transgender activist group, the Trevor Project. The Trevor Project supports transgender treatments for minors, a stance that Shapiro and Walsh strongly oppose.
The controversy arose when a video featuring a trans-identifying female, who had undergone “top surgery” to remove her breasts, shaving with Harry’s razors went viral. The promotional campaign for the razors claimed that “100% of profits” from the purchase of the shave kits would be donated to the Trevor Project.

Shapiro responded to the controversy by mentioning Jeremy’s Razors, a razor company created by Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing. Shapiro emphasized the importance of not supporting companies that “glorify mutilation and sterilization” and encouraged people to choose alternatives like Jeremy’s Razors.

Because you shouldn’t give your money to companies that glorify mutilation and sterilization. #GoWokeGoBroke https://t.co/eNoXwIDggq

Matt Walsh, another host at The Daily Wire, echoed Shapiro’s sentiments and drew attention to the negative consequences faced by Anheuser-Busch after a similar partnership with a trans-identifying influencer. Walsh also highlighted a video of Harry’s CEO Andy Katz-Mayfield referring to mothers as “birthing parents” and fathers as “non-birthing parents,” which further fueled the backlash against the company.

Similar controversies have affected other companies in the past. Bud Light faced backlash and financial losses after partnering with a trans-identifying influencer, while Target experienced a decline in market capitalization due to LGBTQ+ PRIDE displays that included controversial products.
Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire, also chimed in on the issue, humorously suggesting that Harry’s actions were inadvertently helping him become rich.
It’s like they want to make me rich…
