Leaf Shave Leaf Twig Razor All-Metal Single Blade Razor for Men Women Fixed Head with Magnetic Load Assist

First impression and TLDR headline: Get the Thorn Razor Set (different listing here on Amazon) with the base, 55 blades and used blade tin for $20 or more. These razors actually live up to the hype and are fantastic for anyone looking for a mild to medium shave. Longer version: I have tested dozens of single and double edge razors, from the Gillette Fat Boy, Slim Adjustable and Merkur 34c (all outstanding) to the modern Supply (WAY overrated) and Parker Solo-Edge (cut myself every single shave). I also spent years in the disposable world, using everything from Gillette Mach 3 to Fusion 5, Harry's and the Dorco blades that are sold as Dollar Shave Club. None of them compare to the Leaf razors. None! After trying the Thorn, Twig and Leaf Leaf (so confusing), I find the Thorn to be a clear winner. LEAF: It's really not for face shaving because the head is going to be too big to fit under the nose of most people. Bummer, because the choice of using 1, 2, or 3 blades is pretty cool ... and actually works. TWIG: It really is a mild shaver, and perfect for anyone just beginning to dabble in the world of safety razors. I have a rather thick, fast-growing beard, and the Twig shaved casual close. Great for weekends when you want to look shaved but don't mind a little stubble after a few hours. For anyone from the Gillette adjustable world, this would be about a 1 or 2 setting. THORN: Best of all worlds. The extra .2mm or blade exposure from the Twig makes a big difference. The name Thorn suggests a level of sharpness that's a big exaggerated. You're basically jumping from a mild shave to a medium shave, which equates to about a 4 on a Gillette Fat Boy or Slim Adjustable. If you demand an extremely close shave and max out your adjustable razors and can only live with Feather blades, the Thorn, Twig and Leaf are not for you. PRO TIPS: Buy quality double-edge blades and break them in half (while still in the protective paper). They're cheaper and last forever. Also, if you end up flying with any safety razor, it must be placed in checked luggage or have no blade in your carryon. For anyone just starting out in the safety razor world, you might want to consider the Twig but will probably want to graduate to the Thorn. You MUST keep in mind that as mild as these razors are, they demand a different technique. You've probably read this before, but you need to let the razor do the work, applying virtually no pressure and letting the blade glide across your skin. Go strictly with the grain at first until you get the hang of it and after a few shaves, start working against the grain until you get the technique down. Ending on the tip that I started with: Get the Thorn Razor Set (or the Twig Razor Set, if you prefer). For just $20 more, you get a matching stand, 55 blades (the standalone razor comes with just 5) and a tin container to store your used blades for recycling. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Hate disposable razors but hate the "learning curve" say no more ... i have used many razors, disposable, electric, straight, double edge, and while I can use most all on my face and even the double edge on my armpits there was only one thing I trusted for my sensitive area (we will call him bob) Bob has lots of curves, angles, soft skin, floppy skin, regular skin, thin skin, something I only trusted a disposable razor for .... NOT ANYMORE I took this razor out the box went to the shower and started with my face ... easy peasy felt like using my double edge but better, less clogging, a much more ergonomical handle. I said wow!!! Then looked down at Bob, said a couple hail Mary's to myself then said to Bob may the odds be ever in your favor ... IT ... WAS ... PERFECT!!! Just like using my trusty disposable, felt confident, no nicks, nothing, the soft floppy skin, the creases, the top, the bottom, bobs flag pole, done, and much faster with way less clogging. What I like most about this razor is the size is almost exact of a disposable but it shaves like a double edge with one AMAZING advantage On the double edge safety razor the corners of the blade are exposed so when going up against tight spots like folds of your leg and Bob the corners were of an issue and also the width of the head was problematic. With this razor the corners of the blade are tucked in and protected. 100% recommend this razor and if you are going from a double edge to the leaf you can just snap the double edge blades to make 2, they fit!! So if you like Astra or Feather, or other brands you can keep using them. Read more
