Leaf Twig Razor by Leaf Shave, All-Metal Single Blade Razor for Men & Women, Fixed Head w/Magnetic Load Assist, Includes 5 Stainless Steel Blades - Face Shaving Lighter Hair Sensitive Skin -Rose Gold

I totally love this little thing. 1. It looks beautiful. 2. It shaves great. 3. It's perfect for me. This is my whole body razor. It does everything I need it to do. Best part is it's very economical to use. It's very cofortable to use and I don't feel as scared I'd nick my skin. The single edge is great because that allows me to get in places I'd usually be worried about having a DE with another exposed blade. I just need to practice a bit more with this to perfect the angle. My first shave, whole body, was great. A nick or two on the head because I used my non dominant hand. Golly I love this tiny thing.

I went from a multi-blade razor to the Twig for my legs and pubic area. I did a test for a few shaves where I did one leg with the old razor and one leg with the Twig to see if it really made a difference. And it did! The Twig made my skin less bumpy and less irritated, and over time it has continued to become smoother. Look into how multi-blade vs single blade razors work and youll see why! The size and weight are just right to me, and it was super easy to learn to use.

Thorn vs twig I have used both I have a medium thick beard I noticed that the 0.2mm gap between the thorn and the twig makes a difference in how fast the twig clogs I really love both due to it’s natural ergonomic design but I must say the thorn can remove more hair growth in fewer strokes and clogs less often during use but the choice is yours but please note that safety razor blades are sharper then disposable razors and it’s easier to nick your skin if shaving in a hurry theses are amazing razors and cheeper to use so you really can’t go wrong but take your time and enjoy your shave have a great shave.

THIS RAZOR HAS SAVED MY SKIN AND MY BANK!!!! This is by far one of my favorite purchases in the world. I have extremely sensitive skin and suffer from keratosis psoriasis. Shaving was miserable for me no matter what I tried - always painful, constant razor burn, rashes, ingrown hairs, strawberry legs etc. THIS RAZOR THOUGH!!!! I cannot believe how close of a shave it gives me with little to no issues each time. It was a little bit of a learning process switching to this type of razor from a cartridge one, but after a couple tries I have pretty much mastered it - and I shave EVERYWHERE (don't be intimidated by trying this on your private zones, as long as you take your time you'll get the closest most silky shave ever!). The amount I'm saving on the razor blades is a huge plus. **the quality of the blades it comes with isn't the best, so I did purchase a higher quality pack of them and recommend doing so.

The head on this razor is the… Okay, let’s just back up here and talk about how women shave. If I had the skills to do a video this would be the most popular review on Amazon! We almost never shave standing up straight in front of a brightly lit sink like a stiff Masonic ritual. We do it in the tub or the shower. Everything is wet and steamy, and there is soap or shaving foam everywhere. We stand and twist, we sit, we lay down. We use our fingers to feel where the hair is, and what direction it’s going because we can’t always see all the little places in our armpits, behind our knees, and between our legs… There are convex and concave parts. The hair varies between newborn baby soft to stiff and bristly over one inch of skin. We have hair in the little soft dip between our bikini area and leg… behind our bikini area threatening to climb onto our bum (absolutely not!)… wire-like hair between our lips… We shave over sweat glands, delicate damp areas, taught tendons, and little callouses on our toes. We shave over hard muscled ridges and over soft velvety hillsides… The hair changes direction in serpentine patterns. Navigation is tight… we can barely reach. We shave under water and behind our back. Strokes are 1/2” long before the handle bumps our thigh. We can’t use ANY pressure on the ankle tendons unless we want to scalp a ribbon of skin away. We go fast! This is the least important part of our day, and someone is waiting on us already. We flip and twirl the razor like a marching band baton. Most of us don’t even know we are doing that, and we certainly don’t brag about it. We don’t analyze any of this or talk about it in detail together online. We don’t form support groups about ingrown hair or sensitive skin, or the impact of the job with our razor had on our sex life. We will get it done with almost any razor, and don’t expect anyone to compliment us on it while shaking our hand. We are all business. We get it done with the efficiency of a gymnast with a tiny sword. We get it off. If we bleed, lose a patch of skin, or get an ingrown hair we don’t whine about it or blame the razor. We do it differently next time. That is all. So this razor: I have, and can shave with about anything. The head: This has the best head on it ever. It’s so narrow and you can get into those little pockets and navigate the landscape of your lady parts like you are on a well-trained 14-hand cow pony separating a calf from its momma. The hair cannot hide! It’s better than the overpriced cartridge razors, the safety razors. It doesn’t loosen up like a butterfly razor. The head on this razor is 10 of 10, but I do need to get good at snapping the razors in half. That’s a new skill. The handle: A) It’s dang pretty. I like that a lot, but it’s the least important thing. B) It slurps and sloshes big scoops of bathwater. Annoying but forgivable given that slosher design is for the Masonic ritual stand you can buy for it. C) It doesn’t have good positioning/register in the hand. The cylinder and slope is the same along the shaft and you wind up too far up or down the shaft over and over. D) it’s slippery as all f-ing hell, and there is no grip whatsoever in the middle where you hold it while flipping and turning. This is a fine disservice to the self-respecting ladies who would rather be groomed than injured after using a razor. E) the handle has no balance, with all the weight on the bottom. Again, difficult to maneuver and flip, especially with the grip-less center on the shaft, and most especially when wet. It’s very easy to drop, and that is NOT acceptable for a sharp razor. What to do: I am really torn on this thing. I figure I have four options: 1) Choke up on the handle and hold right behind the head (this is what you find yourself doing automatically with this clunker). 2) Wrap grip tape or vet wrap around the handle. It will be ugly, but it might half fix this thing. 3) Saw the head off and glue it onto something designed for the job, 4) return it. I don’t know yet. I hate returning things because it will wind up in a landfill, but for $60 I am a little insulted to keep it. Undecided… Frankly I think this is an innovative razor and the company seems really cool. They have just spent way too much time listening to fussy boys. Listen the 99%: we don’t live to shave. We shave and then go live. I can tell you have good designers. Fix that pretty-but-useless handle!!!

For many years, I've used a popular three blade disposable razor for my head. While I own over 20 D.E. razors and they give incredibly smooth, close facial shaves, they all preform pooly on my shaved head. I bought a Leaf three blade D.E. razor as a head shaver. Sadly, it was hostile on my head... However, it is incredible good on my face, and it became my number one facial shaver. In fact, I liked the Leaf so much I decided invest in the Leaf Thorn. Loaded with one of Leaf's single edge blades, I began to shave my skull with the Thorn. It took perhaps three swipes to get the angle right for shaving and I soon had a BBS smooth head with no nicks, no irritation and finished as quickly as any three blade disposable. Most impressive. The Leaf Thorn is as easy to use as any three or five blade expensive, land fill destined razor refill. The Thorn will pay for it's self very quickly considering the cheap cost of one half of a D.E. blade over a costly disposable multi blade refill. And the environment will see less plastic trash contaminating the planet. I found the Leaf Thorn delivers a fast, BBS smooth, safe shave and it has my highest reccomendation. Buy this thing.

The Twig razor is very mild and efficient. I like to use it when I need a nice shave quick. I like to use the Wilkerson Sword blades from India. They work really well in the razor. The Leaf Blades are nice to but they are a little expensive for me.

Update: 2/1/23 (5 shaves completed): After using the razor a few times, I'm going to bump this up one more star. My second time shaving I had a small nick and it was pretty unremarkable. But by my third shave, doing a single pass, I managed to shave with zero irritation. It got decently close, but not BBS. I'm pretty satisfied with only a single pass along/cross the grain, since my hair is pretty light colored so you have to be -really- close up to see it when it's that short. I'll probably try 2 passes with one against the grain and if I can get it without ending up with razor bumps the next day, I'll bump it up to 5* FIRST TIME: I've been using multi-razor carts, but I have pretty sensitive skin and get really bad razor bumps 12-18 hours after my shaves. I got this after seeing a lot of hype on youtube from shavers that suggest this would be great to help prevent it. I decided to do a 'cold shave' since that seems to help with the bumps for me more than a hot shave. I used pre-shave oil and some tallow-based shaving soap Well my first time, I uh, carved up my neck. First time I've -ever- had to break out the styptic pencil (Ergh.. not a good start!) But I'm optimistic. I had a little rough shave from two days ago and so that might have been part of the problem. It felt a little odd. Like I couldn't quite find the right angle, maybe I had a bit too much shaving soap on my face, but I couldn't quite tell if I was getting all the hair. My attempt to find the right angles while shaving might also have contributed to the few nicks I got. I did 2 passes, Along the grain, and a second which was more of a mix of Cross and against the grain. The first pass did get it pretty smooth, not too far from using my 7-blade cart. But after the nicks and few drops of blood I donated to the shaving gods, I think I may just stick with going along the grain or cross with one pass until I get the hang of it. First time I've felt the burning-itch from using my Alum bar so uh. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I end up broken out and looking like I've contracted a rather undesirable disease. Shave routine: Hot or cold towel soak Pre-shave oil Tallow-based soap Cold rinse with an Alum block Aftershave post-shave balm

Sirve bien.

Nice shave. Even their blades are amazing. I was thinking I would have to take my usual feathers blades and snap them in half for this single blade razor, but the blades included are very impressive

I backed the kickstarter (crowd funding) campaign that helped bring these to market. It eventually broke but I didn’t want to pass up on the ability to purchase new blades at typically the rate of 10$/100 blades vs the $3-10/single blade options on the market
