Leaf Shave Pivoting Head Stainless Steel Razor

43 reviews

The razor is easy to use and pretty effective. It's not effective as quickly as the disposable razors I've used, but it's good enough that that piece, in combination with the better materials and plastic reduction, make this a worthwhile purchase. I will add that the rose gold is more of a weird orange. It's a bummer, but not a deal breaker. Also, but the grip sleeve. I think that should just come with the razor but it's sold separately. Again, this is still a worthwhile purchase.

I love this razor! I was hesitant to purchase it and quite nervous and intimidated the first time I used it, but it's actually super easy to use and I wish I would have purchased it sooner. It is a little slippery, but nothing too bad. I bought the sleeve to help with this, but haven't put it on just yet. The shave is very smooth and lasts substantially longer than my previous razor's did.

This razor needs no introduction- it is fantastic! It has a nice weighted feel and glides so smoothly. It is such an intuitive swap to plastic razors; I highly recommend.

🪒Leaf Shave Pivoting Razor (in the color Spruce) Review🌲
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🪒For my first shave with the leaf razor, I used a shave soap from a local maker, and just some old towels to dry to make sure all hair was shaved completely, then hop in the shower.

🌿My arm and leg hair were over a year of growth, so about an inch or so long. It did take some time, about an hour, to shave, however I’d imagine once the stubble grows in, it will be a lot more of a closer shave to what I experienced. (I also only used 2 blades, so I may try for 3 next time so see if that improves the closeness of the shave!)

✅Pros:

barely feels like there are any razors against your skin, all you feel is metal and it’s super gentle!
the color spruce is GORGEOUS!
the leaf razor is light, in my opinion
super easy to set up since it uses magnets to hold the blades in place, as well as uses a twist cap
At the end of this razor (and the blades) life, it can be recycled into scrap metal! (Unlike disposable razors which just sit in landfills)
the blades on the Leaf shave only cost CENTS, as compared to the cartridge blade refills on disposables, which just end up in landfills

❌Cons:
handle does get slippery, and for a $89 product, I feel as though the design could improve in time. (I know they sell a grip separately)

🤍I’m super happy that I no longer need to buy disposable razors, and feel better about my eco-friendly purchase to the worlds first pivoting head safety razor!

I have Been wanting a steel razor for a long time, but wanted to use the ones I had Till they completely died. After I found That I can recycle them on TerraCycle, I bought my steel razor! I really didn’t care about the color, but the rainbow actually turns out to be pretty cool. I started with 2 blades and learned that I didn’t need to apply so much pressure. I use lots of soap and have moved up to using 3 blades. Love it!!
