I didn’t give up, rinsing out the razor to clear out short hairs. The razor clogged up so quickly, barely getting one stroke in along my stupidly-hairy legs.
In a rush, I decided to apply Hanni’s shave pillow instead of jumping in the shower. You twist the bottom of the handle to open up the razor, drop your blade in easily – the shape makes it quick to figure out which way the blade goes in – twist the bottom again, and boom: you have a razor that’s ready to go. Turns out, loading the razor blades into the handle is basically the same. Leaf wins when it comes to presentation, but what about ergonomics? Pulling this heavy razor out of its box, I noted the shine of the rose gold, compared to the matte of Hanni. And let me tell you: I’m mad.įirst Impressions I had just woke up but couldn’t wait! Worst case, I hated Leaf’s Twig and switched back to Hanni for two more shave cycles best case, I had another razor and 10 more blades. And some more… until I almost ran out of blades for my Hanni razor and decided that, okay, it was time to try out Leaf’s baby, Twig. Then Hanni’s razor worked super well, so I put the Twig test on hold some more. When it finally arrived, I was in the middle of testing my Hanni kit, so I placed the Twig test on hold. I quickly added the affordable-yet-slightly-sticker-shocking razor to my cart (affordable being $59 for this magic, not $7 for a plastic razor that came with no other blades and, apparently, was doing more harm than good). One that I could either recycle when it was worn down, or one I could keep forever, or one from a brand with its own recycling company.Īfter much research, I landed on Leaf Razors – specifically, their Twig razor.Ī post shared by Leaf Shave was immediately drawn to the Twig razor’s rose gold coloring… just like a basic bish (I also knew I could write a review solely on how pretty it was, just in case Leaf’s sucked). And then there was sustainability I wanted one that wouldn’t destroy the environment. Single blades, double blades – is a single blade better than five? Yes? Wait, have I been lied to my whole life? - safety, unsafe(?). But I knew: I had to invest in a good one. So far down that it was barely shaving any hairs off, and that was part of my I avoided shaving. Nope, no interchangeable heads… the blade has just been wearing down. I’m not going to lie: I’ve been using a plastic razor for the past six months. But was I aware that it might be time to shave? … Yeah. Was I mad that he’d pointed it out? Yes, because it was a reflection of society’s expectations. It’s 2022! I didn’t mind letting it grow in COVID, but I generally kept it shaved when going out in public. Obviously, you are allowed to do whatever you want with your body hair. As you read this intro to my review of Leaf’s Twig razor, I want you to picture this: me, raising my arms at the dinner table to cheer, and my brother going, “ohmygod, you really are letting it all grow” in complete disgust horror.
