My wife has gone through three of these leaf razors, all because of the torsion spring failing. The company does have good customer service and sent us replacements for free, but they definitely need to fix the fatigue of the spring.

Love the video Sir…the blow up doll cut in rolled me over 😅

I use a leaf for shaving my head. It's hands down the best Ive ever used for that. Load it up with feathers and even with multiple days between it doesn't even struggle.

Female feedback: I have soft, sensitive skin, not course hair. There's some weight and size to it that takes some getting used to. I am small though. Legs and underarms were all good once I got used to the size. Bikini area not so much. That was a no go. I was thinking of giving the Twig a try for that reason. My boyfriend liked shaving (his face only 🤣 ) with the Leaf also and he got a nice close shave out of it. I was just watching a couple videos for blade recommendations.

I also use a leaf or thorn daily. Only for head shaves. I use straights for face shaves 🙏🏻❤️

I’ll pile on. Best head shaver out there. There is no comparison. Fantastic company too.

I just bought mine. Its on sale because of Memorial Day. I was debating on the Henson Shaver but instead went with the Leaf. Its going to take time getting use to it because of the pivotal head. I do get a smooth shave

Hello mate, good to see someone using this on their face. I have to get a smooth shave VERY early every morning so can’t deal with the faff of my straight razor or safety razor and soaps without having to wake up much earlier. Have ordered myself this along with some Astra blades and some jack black beard lube for a hopefully easy morning shave with no nicks! Many thanks

Just ordered a Leaf and was interested to see your review. My only comment is that if I attempted to shave that quickly, it would probably be a bloody mess.

hi, im like 90% sure youre the reason i use the shaving cream i have now. its the alexandria stuff you reviewed a long time ago! im not the type to have a bunch of different ones; i tried it by your recommendation and its been my go to since then :) (since 2019)

That is unique. It's not cheap, but the price is fair for a nice product.

That "feels like a real thing" subliminal msg was awesome!

Thanks for sharing this! I bought my wife the Leaf. I use the Twig / Thorn on my face and neck.

This is a great razor. Love mine and it's made by a company with great customer service!

I bought the same Limited Edition Honey Leaf a few months ago. It’s a very nice build quality. It shaves just fine. However, it’s very bulky. Kind of hard to get under my nose. I do like the fact that I can use all of my DE blades, but I’ll probably end up selling it. I have over 50 safety razors. As nice as this is, I don’t know how much use it’ll get.

the blades started getting difficult to load in my leaf razor 3 or 4 months ago and today it fell apart, and I got my fingertips cut just try to load the blades in, I saw a lot of one-star reviews of this razor mainly coming from the complaints of the wheel mechanism failing within a year or two of owning it, I just ordered a Rockwell 6 S today, I hope I have a better shaving experience with the Rockwell

Man, I haven’t watched your channel in a minute, and cripe it took me a minute to find again. Nice video as always!

First shave video I’ve watched in ages. Had to see Dr. Matt conquer the Leaf lol. Great shave 👍🏻😎👍🏻

That Leaf looks very forgiving ! You were able to whip it around quickly with no concern for cuts and nicks.

I like the shaver for my arms and bikini line it however, it permanently scarred my ankles near my tendons. It shaved off the skin.. it's not a product I would recommend to anyone. I do love their customer services. Mine broke twice, and I got a new one within the lifetime warranty.

Yeah great option for the people who want to continue with cartridge razors but I can't complain with my gillette black beauty 1970 adjustable and an occasional straight razor shave. The twig works great for one blade and goes through anything with mild results just beware your wife willl take it first chance she gets it's so good.

I appreciate the review on this, it s nice to hear other people's pov on a product.

want to shout-out DSC shave butter as a latherless alternative too, that stuff is awesome.

I have a leaf twig which I love, just not when using the leaf blades, they pull. Feather blades is this razor are awesome.

I just ordered the kit i shave my head and face, i hate plastic razors, i hope its a win ive never shaved 3 times in one shave session though, ill try it. Thank you for video

How is our favourite doctor doing? Great content, you have the most exciting presentation as ever.

Just subscribed to your channel. Have not tried a Leaf yet. So much more to discover in this hobby!

Love my Leaf and Twig for a fast comfortable shave or as a polisher for my Straight razor shaves across the grain on the neck. You get a very good close shave. Thanks for the video. Cheers from Nova Scotia! Mike.

I never thought I would learn some shaving tricks on youtube...

Great review of the Leaf. I’ve seen others use it as well and all have had great results. I was hoping to see you strop it after the second pass 😂. Just kidding. I also use Wilkinson Sword blades and enjoy them. Maybe it’s time for you to do another shavette video. I love the feather artist club my wife got me a few years ago.

Thanks for the video I love this razor I use it for my head 👍👍👍👍

I’m currently deciding between the leaf and HS Henson. Looks like the leaf my be a better choice for my head. Thanks, G

Great vid Doc as always. Regards from Gibraltar

I finally took the chance and bought one of the Leafs on Amazon after finally deciding to stop buying the plastic ones. I have never used one and my first attempt was a disaster. I keep my head slick and this thing made me bleed like crazy. I am using the leaf blades that were sent with it. I ain't gonna lie.... this thing cuts very close and I don't make tons of passes over the same place like I've been doing with the Gillette razors for years. I just need to figure out how to stop cutting myself. Maybe I can just use better blades? Even though I cut myself, I am considering myself to be at least mostly free of the plastic razors. Great video!!

i have the twig and i have to say it’s a pretty nice little razor . for me that leaf is a bit to bulky think a lot of dome shavers love it for a head shave 👍 . same for me mate de i get a good shave but by mid day i can feel the stubble , straight shave and i get right around to 7/8 pm before i get any feel of whiskers making an appearance

Nice shave Dr.Matt. Chris Bailey swears by the leaf for headshaving. I am good with my Dovo Shavette and using Personna Hairshaper blades. Lol! Have a great day.

Interesting and informative. Thanks Dr. Matt. 🇺🇸😎

lol was not expecting that “feels like the real thing”

Double edge safety razor - shave my head and suffered learning how to. Not changing now and never had such a close shave.

Great Video! I've shaved twice now with the leaf and I keep nicking myself. I'm not getting a close shave either. I'm having to go back with a cartridge razor to get close. I have to be doing something wrong. I'm using bottom and middle slot with feather lite DE Blades. If I were to run the razor over my face like you did in your video I would be a bloody mess. I've used an electric razor for the past year maybe my skin just needs to toughen up? I want to love this razor but really i'm just scared of the nicks and have to go really slow. I'm going to make sure the blades are flat maybe their bent out or something. Thanks for the tips on shaving with this razor.

2:49 "feels like the real thing" 🤣

Yeah i like The Leaf razor , and yes only beef with it head is too large for those people that keep some king of beard its har to get the edge right, i think the head could be made a slight bit smaller, and like you said under the nose the sideburns, i didnt get The Twig that came as promotion in the begning with the Leaf i had to buy the finish product just as expensive as The Leaf

Try Kai Blades They are EXCELLENT !!!

Use Jack Black Beard Lube with this razor, or any razor for that matter.

I like to use hair conditioner with my safety razor with Astra blades. Used the Wilkinson blades and cut the hell out of myself. Never with the astra's though.

the single blade leaf tore my throat up.

I really like the Leaf Twig, but I haven't tried the original Leaf. It always looked a bit clunky and too much of a gimmick but seems to work well enough here.

🤣whooaaahwww. Slow down! 😂 great shave but I got dizzy with the Need for Speed 🙈

Great vid!

I'll stick with my TTO. Less hassle and just uses one blade.

My blade was crooked. Part of the top blades were under the top guide. LEAF had me send back to repair. Still crooked. I don't recommend Leaf at all.

So, would you argue the cartridge is still closer of a shave versus this razor?

Is this a close shave like harry

Hi @DrMatt357 , Hi there I just received my leaf razor and have been hesitant about taking the “leafy leap” for a while. I aim to use it predominantly for headshaving. My question is about the pivoting head. I know that’s what it’s designed to be like but I am wondering if it is meant to be kind of “flimsy” to in a sense? Like when I pick mine up there is even a faint rattle to the head. It snaps back no problem. I just thought however that perhaps it would be slightly firmer? And certainly no rattle to it? Watching your video you move it around quite a lot while you’re talking but it didn’t make a sound at all. That could be the video and background noise but I was wondering if you can confirm that it being a metal razor does mean that there is a bit of a rattle in general?

Very cool!

Whats your honing progression and preferred strop for that bad boy? 🤪

Do you ever use the Mach 3 or do you just have it as a holdover from a pre wet shaving era?

Have you tried the Leaf Shave Twig too?

what was the stuff from J and J farms used at the end? I could not find that product. I just got my leaf, trying it out tomorrow morning.

I think lighter weight razors are better since you can be more precise with them. The only quality of added weight on a razor is you thinking it has a “premium feel” because of the weight. That’s the money brain telling you “more weight = more value. I do appreciate the engineering of the mechanism as well as the way it’s constructed and I also appreciate the fact that it’s made of superior materials that lasts a lot longer but I’ve never heard of anyone breaking one of those conventional shaver handles whether they’re plastic or rubber coated metal. Something being heavier doesn’t necessarily equal it being superior in quality “although in this case it is”. And they also really haven’t invented anything new like you claim. All they’ve done is redesign and produce a higher quality version of an already existing product (conventional razors).

I tried Astra blades (i think Russian too) and compared to Wilkinson they sucked.Dull out of the box. Serviceable for 3 shavings. I can use single Wilkinson blade for a month

Anything to consider with these not having that “moisture strip” that the plastic ones have… or is that more of a marketing gimmick?

Thanks for your helpful videos and briefly describing how this unique razor compares to a straight razor. I remember PaulH doing a straight razor shave and he seemed to be able to shave XTG on his neck -- /watch?v=gNMUTc1mGP8&t=534s I guess you have to be part contortionist to do a maneuver like that. That's a problem area for me and the Classic Shaving 'Occam's Razor' SE (on plate 3 with a Feather Professional Super blade) is about the only razor I have that can smoothly and efficiently shave that area, though it's not perfect elsewhere and the handle is lacking. Hope you could try one of those razors.

Saw line on manufacturer (maybe) page about after using this to disassemble and dry out. Do you do this each time?

Interesting

Hello mate I love your videos however I am a de shaver could you by any chance make a video using a de razor

The leaf gave me the worst shave ever even with all 3 blades installed. I could never get baby smooth like with some of my other safety razors. I did notice however it was very quick at getting rid of a 5 day growth. Just couldnt get BBS.

Just grabbed me one for 60$ on bespoke

No matter how carefull i shave i keep cutting myself with the leaf razor either with 2 or 3 blades. With my "normal" blades i can shave like a wildman without a single cut; for 100 euro's a complete waste.

Nice shaver but what you’re shaving there 😅

จักบาทท้าว

Should have got this instead of a twig

"big fat neck that goes from chin to chest" Stop calling me out man

Just having to use a different razor to reach the tight areas under the nose makes this razor a no go for me…. Looks like a stupid design IMO.

Does it works on balls?

Wow too much work. You went over the same place on your face a boat load of times. Thought you were going to peal off your skin.

Why'd it take 3 passes for the amount of stubble you have? That tells me a lot about the razor or your shaving ability.

Seems to me that this is a product designed to sell a solution to a non existent problem. Convoluted and pointless. Single blade safety razors work, end of story.

What is up with the image of the blow up sex doll? Not as funny as you think “real thing” 🙄

💈🪒💈~cheers fellow wetshaver.
