About this item

  • One Version, Two Models: Leaf Single-Edge Razors are available in two models. They are nearly identical, however, the Thorn Razor has additional space under the blade allowing for more skin contact and even closer shave. The Twig Razor is a mild razor best suited for lighter hair growth. The Thorn Razor is a medium razor best suited for coarser or tougher beards
  • Precision Shaving: The Twig and Thorn Razor feature a fixed head at an angle that mimics that of a cartridge razor. Unlike a traditional safety razor, which uses a double-edge blade, the Twig and Thorn only feature a single exposed blade allowing for confidence and ease when shaving concave and tight areas
  • Maximum Control: Maintain greater control of your shave with the Twig and Thorn Razor’s backweighted handle
  • Easy Blade Loading: Confidently replace the blade of the Twig and Thorn Razor with Magnetic Load Assist. Open the blade holder by twisting the bottom of the Twig and Thorn counterclockwise and use the magnet and notches on the blade holder to guide the single-edge blade into place
  • Cost-Effective Refills: There are no costly replacement cartridges required with the Twig and Thorn Razor. Instead, refill your razor with any standard safety razor blade. Snap a double-edge safety razor blade in half or load-up with single-edge safety razor blades instead
  • Plastic-Free & Eco-Friendly: Achieve a plastic-free shave with greater comfort than a traditional safety razor. The Twig and Thorn Razor are all metal and compatible with stainless steel razor blades. Recycle used blades in Leaf Shave’s Blade Recycling Tin

An Entirely Different Approach To Shaving

An Entirely Different Approach To Shaving
I'm a relatively seasoned traditional shaver, having transitioned about a year ago from cartridges to DE safety razors. I have a dozen of them and literally hundreds of blades, and lots of soaps, brushes, etc. I actually enjoy shaving for the first time in my life. I have a cornucopia of scents to choose from as well as vintage Gillette razors from the 1950's as well as modern safety razors. But I didn't have the Leaf Twig and the reviews on it intrigued me. Something really different: essentially half a double edge blade held in a very unique mechanism, a shape that reminds me of a praying mantis. It's gotten great reviews and when it went on sale at Amazon, I figured I'd give it a try. And I'm glad I did. Granted, it doesn't solve any problems that I had with any of my other razors. I can't say it shaves better than any of them but it's different .. and I mean that in a good way. It's fun to twist the base and watch the top open up and revolve out of the way to grant greater access to the bay where the single edge blade is placed, aided by a magnet. Twist it the other way to close it, lather up and start shaving. Unlike some single edge razors, it does not require a proprietary blade. You can buy single edge blades at shaving supply stores (and, yes, at Amazon) or simply snap a double-edged blade in two, being careful that it remains in the paper it's wrapped in. It's a mild but still efficient razor. I've really come to like it and definitely can recommend it. EDIT: The more I use the Twig, the more I appreciate it. It's frankly a brilliant design, just off-the-charts clever and it just plain works. I suspect it's aimed at people who are using cartridge razors but, believe me, it's just a great razor for anyone. It's well built, solid, the mechanism is very smooth (I did have to lubricate it once) the magnet on the blade deck is a clever touch, it's easy to load and unload and blades are inexpensive. Frankly, I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't benefit from trying this razor. It's that good.

    5.0 out of 5 stars HONEST REVIEW: Twig vs Thorn vs Leaf
    Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2025
    Color: Mercury - TwigVerified Purchase
    First impression and TLDR headline: Get the Thorn Razor Set (different listing here on Amazon) with the base, 55 blades and used blade tin for $20 or more. These razors actually live up to the hype and are fantastic for anyone looking for a mild to medium shave.

    Longer version: I have tested dozens of single and double edge razors, from the Gillette Fat Boy, Slim Adjustable and Merkur 34c (all outstanding) to the modern Supply (WAY overrated) and Parker Solo-Edge (cut myself every single shave). I also spent years in the disposable world, using everything from Gillette Mach 3 to Fusion 5, Harry's and the Dorco blades that are sold as Dollar Shave Club.

    None of them compare to the Leaf razors. None!

    After trying the Thorn, Twig and Leaf Leaf (so confusing), I find the Thorn to be a clear winner.

    LEAF: It's really not for face shaving because the head is going to be too big to fit under the nose of most people. Bummer, because the choice of using 1, 2, or 3 blades is pretty cool ... and actually works.

    TWIG: It really is a mild shaver, and perfect for anyone just beginning to dabble in the world of safety razors. I have a rather thick, fast-growing beard, and the Twig shaved casual close. Great for weekends when you want to look shaved but don't mind a little stubble after a few hours. For anyone from the Gillette adjustable world, this would be about a 1 or 2 setting.

    THORN: Best of all worlds. The extra .2mm or blade exposure from the Twig makes a big difference. The name Thorn suggests a level of sharpness that's a big exaggerated. You're basically jumping from a mild shave to a medium shave, which equates to about a 4 on a Gillette Fat Boy or Slim Adjustable.

    If you demand an extremely close shave and max out your adjustable razors and can only live with Feather blades, the Thorn, Twig and Leaf are not for you.

    PRO TIPS: Buy quality double-edge blades and break them in half (while still in the protective paper). They're cheaper and last forever. Also, if you end up flying with any safety razor, it must be placed in checked luggage or have no blade in your carryon.

    For anyone just starting out in the safety razor world, you might want to consider the Twig but will probably want to graduate to the Thorn. You MUST keep in mind that as mild as these razors are, they demand a different technique. You've probably read this before, but you need to let the razor do the work, applying virtually no pressure and letting the blade glide across your skin. Go strictly with the grain at first until you get the hang of it and after a few shaves, start working against the grain until you get the technique down.

    Ending on the tip that I started with: Get the Thorn Razor Set (or the Twig Razor Set, if you prefer). For just $20 more, you get a matching stand, 55 blades (the standalone razor comes with just 5) and a tin container to store your used blades for recycling.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Razor!
    Reviewed in Canada on May 28, 2024
    Color: Silver - TwigVerified Purchase
    The best safety razor I've ever used!

    There seems to be many people reviewing this razor who do not understand how a safety razor works. First, this razor is slightly less aggressive than their "Thorn" version, so people with thicker hair (ie facial hair) are likely to have less success with this one. Secondly, the joy of a safety razor is choosing your perfect blade, so those complaining about these blades should stop complaining and purchase a variety pack of blade styles from any of the hundreds of sellers and find one you like!
    If you take a moment to read the instructions or read anything on the internet about shaving with a safety razor, you'll learn that you should use a shaving soap or something else to help it glide nicely over your skin, and it helps a lot if you lightly exfoliate first. This razor is well weighted so it sits nicely in my hand even with the short handle. The single blade is easy to insert, easy to snap a regular blade in half (do it IN the paper wrapper) so I can use my favourite, and it's supposed to be safer not to have a sharp edge on both sides. It is easy to use, and while you don't get quite the same close shave as those 5+ blade disposable razor it's a fraction of the price over just a few months, and I cut myself far less and get less ingrown hairs.

    This is my second Twig razor. I damaged my first one in my luggage, and while the company has an amazing replacement policy, I also lost my receipt so I didn't bother to try to have it replaced. I figure both of those mistakes were mine, and not worth taking any stars off.

    Muy buen rastrillo de una sola hoja, el uso es intuitivo y la curva de aprendizaje es muy corta. Los mejores resultados los obtuve con navajas King C Gillette y Gillet Nacet. Muy buena opción para el afeitado húmedo.

    Overall experience is Safe! Love the refined simplicity of the design. Clever use of a magnet and frame to locate the blade. Smooth turns to tighten the head. Using Leaf single blades provided, the shave is very mild, you can feel the contact points on the Twig protecting your skin while you shave. For those wanting a more efficient/aggressive shave, a sharper blade would be a good idea to minimise the number of passes. The bottom heavy handle design suits the overall mild nature of the Twig contrary to the normally top heavy DE razors, almost encouraging you to apply pressure as needed.

About this Item

  • One Version, Two Models: Leaf Single-Edge Razors are available in two models. They are nearly identical, however, the Thorn Razor has additional space under the blade allowing for more skin contact and even closer shave. The Twig Razor is a mild razor best suited for lighter hair growth. The Thorn Razor is a medium razor best suited for coarser or tougher beards
  • Precision Shaving: The Twig and Thorn Razor feature a fixed head at an angle that mimics that of a cartridge razor. Unlike a traditional safety razor, which uses a double-edge blade, the Twig and Thorn only feature a single exposed blade allowing for confidence and ease when shaving concave and tight areas
  • Maximum Control: Maintain greater control of your shave with the Twig and Thorn Razor’s backweighted handle
  • Easy Blade Loading: Confidently replace the blade of the Twig and Thorn Razor with Magnetic Load Assist. Open the blade holder by twisting the bottom of the Twig and Thorn counterclockwise and use the magnet and notches on the blade holder to guide the single-edge blade into place
  • Cost-Effective Refills: There are no costly replacement cartridges required with the Twig and Thorn Razor. Instead, refill your razor with any standard safety razor blade. Snap a double-edge safety razor blade in half or load-up with single-edge safety razor blades instead
  • Plastic-Free & Eco-Friendly: Achieve a plastic-free shave with greater comfort than a traditional safety razor. The Twig and Thorn Razor are all metal and compatible with stainless steel razor blades. Recycle used blades in Leaf Shave’s Blade Recycling Tin
