Leaf Razor vs Twig Razor by Leaf Shave

[Deleted member 2936]

I’m not convinced the top slot in the Leaf cuts much of anything, so I use the bottom two slots personally.

Yea I noticed this the very first time I tried the leaf razor too

has anyone actually found a blade that doesnt work well in the leaf or twig razors?

honestly i'd be surprised as imo i reckon most blades even those on the lower scales or sharpness and smoothness would still do the job in these razors tbh

The ones that came with it tugged terribly

the more I use the leaf and twig razor the more I dislike the leaf razor and love the twig razor

For example I just shaved about 10-15 days worth of growth roughly and the leaf razor clogs up easily if you've got thick coarse hair like me imo,

twig just chops the hair off in one less passes compared to the leaf which is ironic as the leaf has three astra sp blades and the twig just the one asking astra blade

I know some people rate the leaf and I intially did but the more I use it the more it kinda feels like a cartridge razor, maybe I'm just too used to safety de/se razors? Im not sure tbh YMMV

had a brilliant shave with the leaf and twig combo,
the rubies really suit the leaf and twig very well imho YMMV

Try the Thorn it's much better than the Leaf & Twig

hey so thought I'd use the leaf today and thought I'd try a blade which I rate more on the lower side of the scales when it comes to blades and that the green derby extra, I do find it to be on the mild side but smooth...

anyways had a brilliant fast head shave it and i really enjoyed it,

only thing I'd say is the leaf will no doubt bite as I forgot I had one or two spots and got caught out there lol

I am genuinely convinced that the leaf will perform well with any blade thrown at it even if you think the blade is a solid performer or rubbish imho

Also I think the leaf grows on you over time, where as the twig is a bit more of an instant impact type of razor

Yea been thinking about it but is it really that much more better then the twig you reckon?

Don't want to get it, have high hopes then be left disappointed

so had 7 days worth of growth approximately a brilliant head shave with the leaf and twig combo and derby extra green on the second use,
mostly using the leaf and twig for touch ups and side burns etc

i was watching a vid of a youtuber using the twig and he mentioned there was an initial plastic that was given to customers,
is this true? if so, was it like some prototype to test it out or was it the finished product just in plastic finish?

Yeah it was free and you could choose whether you wanted it with your order or not. Just a plastic razor that allowed you to tackle more awkward areas. Not that much like the finished product at all.

wonder if people sell these at all on bst as i assume leaf wont sell these

thinking about getting the thorn now too

tbh when i first got the leaf and twig i loved the twig but wasnt overally impressed with the leaf,
but i think its strange as it takes a little getting used too,
now im finding the more i shave with the leaf the better and better it keeps getting

so had a head shave with the leaf, not 100% sure but off the top of my head im pretty sure its the first time i loaded it with three feather blades,
roughly 3/4 days worth of growth and this leaf and feather combo just munched it away with ease

honestly im glad i persisted with this razor as at first i wasnt sure about it,
it really does grown on you and get better with every shave,
i now can finally see why a lot of head shavers prefer this,
its also a very quick shave especially with the feather blades loaded too

i think the feathers in the leaf is a sweet combo

i was wondering which blades do you guys like to use in your leaf and twig razors?

When I use my Twig razor (generally when I feel like splitting a blade between it and my Focus razor) I have noticed that it has a tendency for the handle to unwind slightly, however tight to start with, and thus loosen the head. I have no idea whether it's just me, just this razor, or if others have noticed this.

Has anybody experienced this?

Never had this happen, I do find it weird that it tightens and loosens the opposite directions of most things

You making sure the DE blade where it bends from being snapped into a SE has the bend facing inwards towards the back of the razor, hope I'm making sense lol
