The Twig Razor Black

The agile Twig Razor from Leaf Shave is a half-blade razor specially designed for a precise shave in difficult areas. This reinterpretation of a classic safety razor offers a safe, easy and sustainable shave.

What distinguishes him?

• The narrow blade head with only one half blade (single edge instead of double edge) and the weighted handle ensure intuitive control and a high degree of precision. As soon as you hold it in your hand you will feel the difference.
• The strong tilt of the fixed head allows the shaving line to be accurately followed. The Twig Razor delivers a smooth, gentle shave in the tightest of spots and impresses with its valuable, simple design.
• Ideal for shaving sensitive and hard-to-reach areas such as the intimate area, the armpits or shaving contours. There's nowhere this stunning razor can't fit!
• Easy to use, women love the single-edged Twig Razor for its small, maneuverable size.
• To start, 5 half razor blades (single edge / half blades) are included. It is best to test razor blades from different manufacturers to find your personal favourite.

No pink tax: Products in the women's departments of drugstores are often significantly more expensive than comparable products for men. Leaf Shave razors are designed for both men and women. Unlike disposable razors, women do not pay any extra. 

• smooth and easy shave for hard-to-reach areas with less skin irritation
• high-quality, elegant, plastic-free and sustainable, more cost-effective in the long run than multi-blade plastic razors
• Quality that lasts
• innovative design with a slanted and narrow blade head for an extremely agile and precise shave

The founders Adam & Adam: "There's no plastic razor, or safety razor out there that's like a leaf shave. And we're only just beginning. We'll stop when every person has ditched disposable plastics for their shave." 

Matte (Black & Silver) finishes are softer and will show signs of wear over time; Rose Gold may develop a patina over time; Glossy colors like Mercury, Gold, Chrome, Prism and Berryblue are very durable.

Application

• Inform: Before using your Leaf shaver, please read these instructions. If you have any questions about changing the blade, using or caring for your razor, write to us.
• Inserting the blade(s) into the shaver:
• Turn the bottom of the handle clockwise to open the blade holder.
• Then insert a single-edged blade. Single-edge blades or broken double-edge blades can be used here.
• Then re-secure the blade by turning the bottom of the handle counter-clockwise until it is finger tight. (do not over-rev)
• Enjoy the shave:
• Don't apply extra pressure, just let the weight of the razor do the work (don't push too hard!).
• Hold the razor head at a 30 degree angle to the skin while shaving for the smoothest and gentlest shave possible.
• Rinse the shaver frequently with warm water - the shaver and skin should always be damp. Feel your skin to find spots you may have missed and go over them again.
• For even more thorough results, repeat the process by shaving against the natural direction of hair growth

take your time

• Take your time
  

Instead of trying to shave as soon as possible, treat shaving as a little self-care ritual. How about a nice hot shower, a soothing body scrub, and then a methodical, careful shave to ensure you don't miss a thing. 

• Shower and exfoliate

For the best shave, make sure your skin is warm, clean and preferably freshly exfoliated. After a thorough peeling in the shower, shaving is super easy.

• Apply shaving oil or soap

Depending on personal preference, use shaving oil or soap and lather the skin well. It is advisable to only lather the area that is intended for shaving - step by step, so to speak. If you use shaving oil, it is best to wash your hands briefly with soap so that you have a good grip. 

• Do not exert any pressure

The razors are made of solid brass and have a nice dead weight. Let the razor glide over the skin without applying additional pressure. A good rule of thumb is to position the razor at an angle of about 30 degrees.

• Shave with or against the hair growth?

What works for many:
- Legs: The skin on the legs is not particularly sensitive and shaving against hair growth is not a problem. With one pass everything is usually thoroughly shaved.
- Armpits: first with the hair growth, then pull the skin taut and a second pass against the hair growth, but without applying pressure.
- Bikini zone: First with the hair growth, then again more across the hair growth than against it and of course the whole thing without any additional pressure.

• Keep the razor blade clean

After a few passes, rinse the razor head. It is best to hold the razor head and loosen it half a turn. Then clean the razor head of deposits (hair, skin, oil, grease, etc.) under the tap or in a small bowl of water. Keeping the blade clean and sharp is important to avoid skin irritation.

• Keep the blade sharp

A sharp razor blade is key to avoiding irritation and ingrown hairs. It is best to change the blade after three to four shaves. The costs for the blades are low, so that frequent replacement is possible. Collect the used blades in a small can and dispose of them.
