The next most noticeable thing for me is blade loading. It looks good and “feels” substantial in the hand–noticeably better than any of the prototypes I tried. The first thing that I noticed about the production Twig razor is the build quality. Sponsored Links My Experience With The Leaf Twig Razor Length: 102mm (about 4 inches), head closedīlade Loading: twist-to-open, magnetic head base. Weight: 2.5 oz (it’s about 68 grams without blade on my digital kitchen scale) The crowdfunding campaign was hugely successful, raising well over US $155,000 for final design and production. “Unlike traditional double-edge safety razors, The Twig is tuned to be forgiving for a quicker, easier learning curve.” This makes it the most agile and accessible shave, tight spots and crisp edges are a breeze.” “Designed with the smallest safety razor head available. The Twig is specifically designed to be easy to use and gentle on your skin, and it delivers a smooth shave that’s better for the environment. “Meet our version of a classic safety razor-with a single-blade, fixed-head design. It had some really interesting design ideas and by the time the crowdfunding campaign was ready they had some real community buzz going. Note that I was involved with testing some Twig prototypes before and during the crowdfunding campaign. We are confident that whether this is your first foray into shaving plastic-free, or if you’re looking to pair The Twig with your Leaf razor - that you’re going to love this new shave.” So this truly is a razor designed by our users. “All of that feedback went into the upgrades, modifications and final design decisions for The Twig.

So we designed a small prototype, and built an opt-in system for users of The Leaf razor to grab a free prototype of The Twig to try out. “We first had the idea for The Twig back in 2016, while we were running our campaign for The Leaf razor on Kickstarter. They still wanted to used snapped-in-half DE blades but in a much different format. And the blades for the Leaf are double edge (DE) razor blades snapped in half so blade choices are much wider (and cheaper!) than cartridge razors.īut Leaf decided they wanted to take a slightly different approach for their next razor.

The original Leaf razor may be the most “flexible” razor I know of, in terms of how you can use it: load one, two, or three blades on a pivoting head platform that’s great for a number of different shaving circumstances. I’ve mentioned the Leaf razor a number of times on Sharpologist (including HERE and HERE). Leaf’s new Twig single edge razor that uses snapped-in-half double edge razor blades is now generally available after a very successful fundraising campaign! Is it right for you?
