Leaf Shave ‘Twig-Thorn’ Razor in Black or Chrome Finish

 

Leaf Shave’s single-blade razor, The Twig is available in a more aggressive format, called the ‘Thorn Edition’. The Twig-Thorn is physically the same as The Twig base model, except it has an extra 0.2mm of blade gap and span making it more aggressive for more experienced safety razor users. This is a great choice if you are: a) experienced with single-blade razors and know you like a more aggressive setup; or b) have generally darker coarser hair where the extra blade gap will come in handy.

This razor is ideal for shaving tight spots, small areas, or sculpting hair with precision. Although it has a fixed-head, The Twig-Thorn is designed to be easier to use than a traditional safety razor (blade exposure, pre-angled head etc.) and is truly a delight.

The Twig-Thorn might be right for you if you’re just shaving your face, or just under your arms, or simply if The Leaf is out of your price range.

This re-imagined classic safety razor works as an entry-level razor into shaving with Leaf Shave, and as a beautiful companion to The Leaf razor, where owning both allows for the right-tool-for-the-right-job.

The Twig-Thorn razor boasts the smallest head on any safety razor, allowing it to reach even the tightest of areas from head-to-toe and anywhere in between.

The single blade design lends itself to shaving sensitive skin. And unlike a double-edge safety razor which has a live blade sticking out on both the front and back, The Twig-Thorn’s single-blade design makes it safe to shave concave and tough to reach areas without fear.

Upfront investment, long-term savings

We don’t know about you, but we’ve had enough of cheap plastic razor cartridges that cost the earth. Leaf Razors are made to last and backed by a lifetime warranty. Is there a cheaper alternative to Leaf Shave? Co-founder Adam explains in-depth in this blog post.

We understand that the upfront cost may feel expensive, but shaving with Leaf will allow you to see a return on your investment quickly, and allows you to replace just your blades at 1/10th the cost of disposable plastic cartridges.

After you buy the Leaf razor, replacement blades cost pennies. All Leaf Shave razors are built to be compatible with not just Leaf blades, but standard safety razor blades too. They do this so that you can find the best fit for you, find ways to save even more money, and never feel like you need to waste a blade even if it’s a different brand. Leaf is just happy to see you with a better shave in hand, no matter where you buy new blades! And if you’re in America, they’ll even take any brand of blade back to recycle for you. Why? Because they’re a small company who is here to help!

As Adam Hahn, co-founder of Leaf Shave, beautifully puts it: “Leaf’s unique razors are not gendered; they’re for any body shaving anywhere, head to toe.” Treat yourself or a friend to a better way to shave, or celebrate the special male figures in your life with a Leaf Razor. Read Adam’s blog post on why A Razor is the Best Father’s Day Gift He Can Receive here. Given the price point a Leaf razor is a super generous gift. But by gifting a Leaf to friends, family or partners, you’re giving a lifetime of plastic free shaves.

Plus, Leaf razors are made to last and are backed by a lifetime warranty. Shaving with Leaf unlocks the very inexpensive (but high quality) use of safety razor blades which allows you to replace your blades at about one-tenth the cost of disposable plastic cartridges. You will see a return on your investment quickly, saving on overpriced disposable blades, and preventing plastic from our landfills!

Modern meets art deco

With a unique twist-to-open design, the whole razor stays together in a single body when load­ing blades, and a magnet in the head helps keep the blade in place while handling it. Made in America by two very cool engineers, The Twig-Thorn really is a delight to use!

Tips

It is important to practice maintaining a 30 degree angle of the razor along your skin. This will allow for optimal shaving, so it is worth trying out! Once you are ready load the blade and make sure it sits flat in the notches. Read more tips here.

What’s in the box?

The Twig-Thorn comes with a small set of 5 blades to get started. Refill packs of blades can be purchased separately.
