YES, love my leaf shaver and twig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am interested, but does the Twig shave as good as the leaf? I would like both, but would like to hear which of the two you think is best
do you use it for your face also and neck?
Leaf razor for the face is not good!
I use headblade moto and headslick cream every day! I love headblade products
@@ealarcon5 I am also curious about this. Why have both?
If harry disliked a product he does give negative reviews even if he knows it would miss him a potential brand deal. This proves here he will only promote somthing if he believes in it and knows it’s good for him and us 😊😊😊
I have been searching for the best and my favourite for the last 3 years of head shaving. About 8 months ago I stuck with these and I have never looked back 🤝Stay safe and happy shaving 👍
@Baldcafe which one is better finally for head shave the twig or leaf razor ? Are you going to review the twig ...
@TheGameChanger depends how often you shave. The leaf OR the twig would be plenty if you shave frequently. If you take long breaks between shaves you’d require a trimmer/clipper to knock the hair down some before using your leaf or twig.
@baldcafe are you still using these? what's your go-to razor and blade these days?
I'm a first-timer, been balding since my college years, and finally decided to do the jump a couple of months ago. I was casually looking for reviews of different products, I wanted to buy decent gear to get me started in this path, and I suddenly found your channel. I didn't expect to find a whole community of people going through the same as me with such positivity.
I shaved my head a couple of days ago, ended up buying the Surker and the Leaf, and whoa. Great products and great channel. Thank you for this!
Have the Leaf/Twig combo myself. Absolutely fabulous head shave razor combo! I have switched to the Astra "green" blades myself. The Leaf blades are good, but I experienced some pulling/tugging with them when going ATG. Astra's slice like a hot knife through butter. I'll eventually try my Feather blades, but the Astra's are hard to beat for the price vs performance.
I've recently brought the Babyliss Pro super motor Skeleton to replace my Remington quick cut, it's expensive but worth it, it do the shortest no guard buzz I've had, as close as you can get with a trimmer.
Leaf one kind of looks like a modern DE safety razor. Looks pretty cool, I won't lie. A bit "steam punky" And as much as I love the aesthetic of my vintage Wilkinson Sword D.E, it's too tidiuous for me to use daily. Is like a 20minute ritual ha.
I'm usually super skeptical of promos *cough* surfshark *cough* Raycon earbuds, but you've always been authentic since the beginning. I trust your judgement. And I'm happy you are partnered with this product 😊.
The leaf is a game changer, man. Just like cartridge razors but without the discomfort, tugging and pulling. It's also cheaper in the long run. It's so wonderful
That’s awesome! New head shaver here looking to get one! Do you use only 2 of the blade slots or all 3?

the pose by the ocean with the leaf.... lol absolutely hilarious
Bought a Leaf razor about a year ago. Used it a couple of times and it cut me up bad. So it's been in the cupboard ever since. After watching this video I got inspired to give it another go. Tried not to apply any pressure and was quite pleased with the results. Only 1 cut. I guess it's just practice. I want to like the Leaf so much and I will try to keep using it for a while to see if I can improve my technique. Thanks for your video.
I made the same mistake initially too. Applying too much pressure and really Kida rushing things. Now I pretty much just shave across the grain on the most part with a nice continuous shaving stroke and it really does the trick. Because I don't need to go over and over it works out about the same time. Stick with it 👍
I had the same experience and went back to cartridges. After about a year I decided to bust the Leaf back out. I knew it had to be user error or an incompatible blade or something. The Leaf has since become my favorite shaver. I now have a Twig on the way.
Just ordered the duo kit from leaf. Was a baldy for about 18 months fourteen years ago and just started reshaping my head again three weeks ago today. Using the Gillette pro shield with okay results plus, I’ve retained my beard that I continue to keep trimmed on a more professional level. The post head shave sensitivity is very real. I look forward to trying the twig for how it works for me.
You sir have sold me on the Leaf razor! I watched another video which had me leaning toward it, but yours was the icing on the cake. Great review. Very informative. Great video. Thank you!
I’ve been using Headblade for 4 years now, it’s amazing! Pretty good for black hair as we have thicker strands, Safety razors barely shaved anything and buzz shavers left me with crazy bumps BUT I like the look of the Twig as another option 👍🏾
Just ordered my first leaf shave! Been using clippers up until now so this should be an experience.
Note that this is being shipped from the US and the minimum delivery charge is $21 plus there may be some import charges too.
I'm not bald, I can't even grow a beard. Why do I keep watching these videos?
I’m glad you do 👍
WADR, when do you turn 11?
Coz you don’t have it, so you’re fantasizing about it maybe.
same, except I got a mohawk rn and don't want to pay a barber every couple weeks to stay short lmao
😂
I just shaved my head today! I feel great
Ordered a chrome leaf razor right after the restock at the beginning of January, using the BaldCafe coupon code, of course 😉 Just can't wait to get my hands on it. Hope it will be any day soon now!
Legend! Thank you so much man keep me updated. That thing will be your shaving companion forever!
What’s the code?
@@Baldcafe You can get 100 Astra Superior Platinum blades from eBay for under £8 with free delivery
Well #insuber79, that was 6 mo. ago... sure takes you along freaking time to make up your mind...
I’ve been enjoying using Harrys shavers recently but will defiantly consider this in the future.
The stubble I think looks so much better than the wizard beard👍🏼
Stubble makes every man look better
I'm with u
Yeah the wizard thing was gross
Lol nah, the wizard beard was way more awesome. It suited him well, now hes gone from Kratos to some basic bald dude you'd see at the mall
@@brandothefish beard looks like shit looks like a bum stubble enhances the look of any man
you should review hair systems, that would make for interesting viewing....................
After watching the video it isn't entirely clear to me, whether there is a substantial difference in the shaving result between the Leaf and the Twig. Could you elaborate on that? When on a budget is it still better to get the Leaf because of some benefits or is the Twig enough. Or perhaps it is advisable to save up and get both? Planning on using it pretty much on my whole body. Great video man, love the positivity as always!
Good question
I would advise against using this or any safety razor on your body. Best bet is to invest in disposable razors like a Gillette body or venus razors.
I have both, and I have been using them for quite a while for headshave.
If u are gonna use it for headshave, I would highly recommend the Leaf.
I end up using the Leaf all the time. 2 or 3 pass shave. I only use the Twig for the last touch up around the ears (The Leaf is a bit bulky).
The Leaf is currently my all time favourite for headshave. Better than the Twig, better than any DE razor (I have lots of them including the expensive ones like Timeless, Karve etc).
So if u are still for either the Leaf or the Twig for headshave, I would highly recommend the Leaf.
I think the Leaf would work great for body shaving as well.
If you are going to try the leaf do yourself a favor and get some astra green blades to try. That combo is so good!
I'm still using the Remington HC4250 for my 0 guard. Great video man
I'd buy this leaf shave thing in an instant if I had the spare money. The only thing I am not too fond of is the shipping from the US. Btw the foil shavers from Surker cut pretty well too, although they're not for sensitive skin.
Just received my leaf today. Loaded 3 leaf blades and got a fantastic head shave.
I've been shaving my head for 6 years with The Defender. The blade platform is curved for easy stubble removal. I shave my face & head in the shower and only rinse the blade 5 times. Takes me 3 minutes.
Just ordered my leaf. Very expensive but hopefully save on the blades in long run. Fingers crossed this is good. Been using Boldking defender sensitive blades for over a year
Nice one Mitch 👍 grab some blades like the Astras etc and that is a year of shaving at the same price, every year after is a big money saver and that leaf will last you decades. I don’t see myself ever changing and I’m hoping I can pass it on like some kind of heirloom. 👍
@@Baldcafe Cheers fella. Yep ordered the Astras same as in video, 10p a blade whooooo. Will have to do a video for you
Thanks for showing how to break the blades in two for us newbies
Coming to the second week of my safety razor journey. The only blood I drew from it was from a pimple and a mole I have on my head with multiple passes. I guess I'm a natural. But this leaf razor is starting to call me.
Definitely consider the twig also. They are just lovely razors to own. So we’ll put together. 🤝 good luck on the journey!
I’ve been searching for a good razor to shave my head and have not found anything other than the generic cartridge razors. I just happened to stumble across Leaf and have been going through the reviews for the last two days. It sounds exactly like what I’m looking for! Gonna get the Leaf and Twig combo very soon!!
Ordered the leaf set for earth day and got 20% off. As a head shaver for the last 8 years, ive been using dollar shave club. Loved their razors and customer service. They just switched their razor styles to one that I don't like and won't offer the ones I've been using for years anymore. Time to move to a plastic free shave. Looking forward to using the leaf!
Definitely give feather blades a go. They are the best blades and sharpest you can get. Been using them for years.
Super 'ranting, raving eco-warrior' here and that leaf razor does look amazing! I have a few DE razors and, while they're great (I definitely prefer them to cartridge razors), I do find it difficult sometimes to get a consistent shave from day to day.
I'd love to order leaf razor but it will be so expensive to order it in europe, delivery+custom fees... I wish they would sell em in europe too to save alot of money
I believe they have plans for European distribution in the future 🤝 hold tight 👍
@@Baldcafe Really looking forward to it (Y)
Just bought a leaf razor 3 blade. Had only selected colours and one was gold and I thought of this video so I got that one. Looking forward to switching to this.
Had the safety razor for years and I'd get cut now and again and sore at times, I went off that to Gillette razor proglide and I'm guilty for the waste in plastics and like you said they don't seem to last long especially shaving face and head. Thank you for the vid.
which is the best for head shaving.
1. Leaf Razor. or
2. Leaf twig
I just got my LEAF razor and it is literally the most amazing razor that I have EVER used on my head and I’ve used and tried a lot not to mention the long term cost savings with only replacing the cheap blades.
BEST. PURCHASE. EVER.
Great video. Just ordered the Leaf a few minutes ago! Can’t wait to try it out when shaving my head.
Purchased the leaf, twig ,and rubber grip handle today. Can't wait to use it! I'm over the double edge safety razor on my head....I just can't get it down. Plus it takes too long!
Fantastic 👏 Play around with some different variations of the blades and nail it down you have.2 razors there that will last forever 👍
@@Baldcafe thanks again brother!
Just bought the clippers at a terrific price. I’m sure I will love them. I would use the razor, but can’t stop the irritation. Thanks for the video Harry, love your stuff mate.
Nice one Stephen. I also see they have great reviews on Amazon also top stuff 👍 enjoy them
How did you find them mate? Thinking of getting the surkers also, mostly for buzzing my head with 0/0.5, cheers
If you’ve not tried it, the Wahl 5 Star is a phenomenal electric option for a baby-butt smooth head shave. Like anything, it does require some time to get used to. But once you do, it’ll buzz you fast and close.
And the Leaf is a beast. Just got one for Xmas and gave it a test drive today. Even with the butter knife blades that come with it, it’s amazing. Can’t wait to plop some good ones in it!
I want to get the Wahl 5 star but you have to plug it into mains to use it, right?
@@Sari36YT
Mine is plugged in just to charge the battery, but there may be a plug-in only variant without an internal battery. Not sure.
@@HeliRy oh, you can use it without being plugged in?
@@Sari36YT
You sure can!
@@HeliRy I don't really understand the cord. Can you unplug the cord from the bottom of the trimmer or is it always attached to the bottom?
These look amazing! I definitely want to buy one of these as soon as possible. This is super cost effective and would shave as close as my straight razor. Thank you Very much! I am currently stuck in Korea however when I get back to the U.S. I will order these.
I was looking for something like this forever, so I just ordered the Twig. Never liked cartridge razors but the DE head shaving was somewhat tricky. Thanks for the video man!
Maybe a good investment after I used up my bulk stock of head blades. Love the no plastic design/philosophy.
It just has to be done these days. It feels good not being wasteful 👍
@@Baldcafe Exactly. When I see the things I buy in the supermarket I always think why does everyting have to come packed in plastic...
You look ten years younger getting rid of the beard
I read somewhere that a full beard makes you look 10 years older than you actually are
do you go with the grain 1st then against it? or with the leaf just straight to against the grain?
would you do another beard shave soon?
So pumped for my Leaf to come! Wish I coulda supported the channel with the baldcafe link last week when I purchased it tho! Nevertheless very excited to try it!
That twig one seems awesone. Very minimalist.
Can you reccomend next best razor to the leaf? Its so expensive when factoring cost plus shipping to UK
Love the Leaf for my solar panel shave👍 I have used cartridge razors, DE razors, SE razors and the Leaf. The Leaf wins hands down in my opinion although the Henson medium razor comes a very very close second.
What shaving soap do you use? I have the Leaf razor and just ordered the Twig today.
I have 5 o'clock shadow on my head every time i shave, even against the grain, it would be okay if it wasn't mostly round the sides, may have to get one of these
Safety razor, I've tried the rest, nothing comes close. I'm not paying a fortune for cartridges when blades cost 10p. I rarely cut my head with them plus the leaf razor is stupidly expensive so any money saved saved on blades is pointless
Same for me, but I can't speed with safety razor. With the leaf I think you can do it
@Anfifelo you have to do an it slowly and drag the razor, don't try and do it like you would with a Mach 3
The leaf is amazing one of the best head shaves out there. The twig requires to many passes i just use it for my sideburns outline and my beard neckline now.
face at 2:59 is EPIC!
Just got my twig razor!! Thanks for the recommendation and discount!!
Guys ive had them all. The cheapest ones work good. I have bic 5 bladed razors. They work great
Love your podcast! I am torn between the “Leaf” and the “Twig” for my head shaves. Currently I use a “Rex Ambassador “ DE for the unbearded parts of my face. (A 1-6 adjustable DE that I would love to see you review). I love triple edge plastic razors for my head because it’s a quick shave in the shower, but I am thinking that a single blade would be better for my skin. Anyway, I am hoping that you will follow up here with your report on which is the better head shave razor. Thank you for all of your podcasts!
I’d say the safest bet is to go with the leaf especially because you will have the option of using 1, 2 or 3 blades and even the option to have them in different locations on the razor head depending on how aggressive you’d like the razor. Gives you that customizable shave and do guilt on being wasteful. It’s an absolute winner for me 👍
I think if you are coming from DE razor, twig feels more like a DE razors. It's smaller and more manourable.
I just bought both, and still deciding which one I like better.
@@azku I tried to return the Twig for the Leaf and the company never responded. Please let me know what you decide.
@@longbowsafari9974 I just had another headshave with the Leaf this morning.
I think probably the Leaf is easier to shave with overall (for headshave). It's a bit bulky, so can be tricky to go around the ear.
I think probably it feels more like a cartridge razor (I never used cartridge razor for headshaving though).
The shave is quite effortless due to the moving head, but I'm still getting used to it. I find I need to put a little bit more pressure than I'm used to to get it to cut.
The handle is long and bulky, so I have to change my grip a little bit.
Overall, I had one of the best shave this morning. Effortless, no cut, no irritation, no razor burn, very close shave.
@@Baldcafe I returned the Twig and I have had two head shaves now with the Leaf and I love it! I don’t like the blades that the Leaf came with and I get a much better result now that I’ve swapped them out. I find the handle a little slippery but altogether it’s well worth it for the environment and the reduced costs! Thank you for the tip
Do you fill all 3 slots when you shave or just use 2? I like the idea of just using 1 blade snapped in half instead of using 1.5 blades, but curious what you think. Thanks!
I use a single Astra "green" DE snapped in half. Load in the bottom and middle slots. All you need. I've tried all 3 slots loaded, but imho using the two slots mentioned above provides just as great a shave as all 3 slots loaded.
Great video! Thanks for helping us navigate through all the products available for head shaving. Quick question. What kind of head soap do you use? Maybe a video outlining your lathering routine! Great content brother!
Between the double & single blade leaf razor, which one clogs up more? I got thick hair, therefore hair gets stuck between blades and safety guard.
Alright man...on your recommendation I’ve bought the twig and leaf set via your link! I’m 40, been shaving daily for 16 years and I thought I’ve tried everything. I was surprised that I never came across these single blade styles. I mean you never see these advertised or in stores. Looking forward to a new way (and new technique) to clear my head!
What’s your verdict?
The best thing to shave your head is Panasonic Arc 5 foil shaver.
Well, apparently in this video Leaf Razor is the best option for shaving your head? Do you still think the same? I have shaved my head since the beginning of the pandemic and I discovered that my appearance improved, according to all my friends and family, that is why I decided to continue being bald. But I don't want to use disposable cartridges anymore because it's too expensive to look bald.
I bought a safety razor but discovered that it is not the same to shave the head, I do not like the way it looks, it is difficult to shave against the grain, I find it difficult to admit but even a low cost disposable razor gives better results than shaving the head with safety razor.
I am willing to try another option but this time I do not want to be wrong, if I buy the Leaf Razor I must be sure that the result will be as incredible as a disposable razor.
Please, I will appreciate your honest feedback, do you still recommend the leaf razor for a wonderful and perfect head shaving experience? because it is not economical and I must be sure that the finish is the same as a disposable razor.
Thank you for your response and opinion. Greetings
I buzz cut my hair bald. I've been thinking about taking it to the next level but for me I feel a single blade razor would take chunks out of my head so I would use a multi blade...
I buzz cut also because i still have my lineup just bad thinning in the middle. want to go a little lower then trimmers but dont care for a shiny skin bald head.
Blade scares me because i dont want to cut myself and i dont want bumps i want a well taken care of head.
But i cant choose a rotary shaver i like. and im scared rotary causes irritation
Looks sick I'm currently using the skull shaver because of the expense of Gillette cartridges. Might have to consider the leaf shaver sounds much cheaper in the long run.
Can anyone share their thoughts on whether the leaf is better than the twig for shaving the head? Thanks
Would be good for other opinions too but since this video I’ve pretty much stuck to the twig fyi 👍
@@Baldcafe thanks for your reply. I watched your most recent videos and it shows you using the twig but in your older ones your using the leaf for head shave. Which do you prefer and why? I’m considering purchasing one but don’t want to buy both.
Also when will your aftershave balm be available? Been waiting to try it for a while now. Thanks again.
Just ordered the twig. I have the leaf shaver but would like to use the twig for the face.
exactly what i needed
Hi all together, great page😜
I hate to Shave all the time
What's happened with Epilation?
Thank you for doing this video! Been waiting to see what type of razor you support for a good head shave!
Leaf razor is a cool idea but it's expensive. It will take a few hundred shaves to break even if you are using something like mach 3 and cartridge packs. That could be years depending on how often you shave. With all those moving parts there is a lot that could go wrong.
But as I said the idea is cool and if it gets enough attention we will see Chinese clones soon
I have come to expect that it all costs. I have discovered that for me the Defender Razor works really well for bald head shaving. I could get a years worth of shaving for about 70 bucks. SOme might say that is great or others scoff at. I am ok with it, goodness knows I have blown a hundred at a strip club in twenty minutes. I would like to think since I use a product for 100 times a year, that my face,head and comfort is worth the money spent. Shaving just costs money and we have to accept it. No electric or otherwise shave method is perfect. Every product has a flaw. It comes down to what we are ok with spending, dealing with (razor burn), and tolerance.
Harry, I’m thinking of getting either the leaf or the twig (maybe the twig ‘thorn’) for my head. Which one would you recommend?
Yeah, I came here with the same question...
"Didn't quite cut it". Unintentional pun!! Great vid. Cheers man.
Which one is a closer shave? the Twig or the Leaf?
The razors look quite fancy and awesome. I like the oldskool shaving tools.
@Baldcafe, have you tried Feather AS-D2? I want to try a safety razor and that seems to be good for me but it’s expensive. Maybe an episode where you try different safety razor’s? Keep the good work up! 🙏
I’ve never tried them no. But it sounds like you recommend them. I will have an experiment and see if good for a video. Thank you 👌
@@Baldcafe Thanks for the reply! Hoping for an episode about these. Testing alternatives to multi blade systems which are too expensive and have understood that the safety razor gives less irritation and lasts a lifetime with cheaper blades than the mentioned alternative.
Hope you do another outdoor shave in 2021 that was a great one
Absolutely. Just need this pandemic to be under control 👍
#1 Mach 3 #2 Gillette skinguard #3 Harry’s
this seems pretty cost effective way of shaving and better for the environment 😊😊😊
It really is!
Always used gilette mach 3 & now proglide on my head. Did dabble with a shavette but with a few moles here & there, minimal forgiveness on the angle being held & some nicking of the mole- reverted back to the proglide. Expensive but can't argue with the quality of shave & can get a months out of each one, shaving every 2-3 days. How does the leaf angle the blade- is this a preset angle or adjustable? Thanks
How did the surker clippers up to date ? I'm hesitant between the surkers and the wahl blading 5 star. Which would you recommend having used both.
The stubble looks great on you. You appear way younger
Will the Leaf Shave rust over time? Also does the gold/black/silver/mercury coating wear off as well?
I use Gillette shavers and it’s so expensive buying the heads all the time I’m gonna try the leaf shaver thank you Harry
Hi Harry, another great video. Just wondering are you aware of the aggressive version of the Twig at all? It's listed on Agent Shave for the same price with 0.2mm greater blade gap and 0.18mm greater span. Turn between the two versions but ultimately wanting the closest shave possible so leaving towards the aggressive version. In your opinion could the 'normal' one do with being more aggressive?
I can’t vouch for the aggressive one as I haven’t used it but I can get plenty close enough with this version 100%
@@Baldcafe cheers bud, appreciate you taking the time to reply! Decided to take a chance on the aggressive version and ordered one last night (seems they have limited stock and didn't want to miss out), here's hoping I don't just end up cutting myself to ribbons 🤣😂. All the best fella and keep up the good work, cheers.
Thanks for your videos !!! I really want to buy a LEAF Razor. But can’t make my decision.
So do you already had some time to test the twig against the leaf?! I got sensitive skin and can only shave with the grain.
Thank you for your answer
Stay healthy and greets from Hamburg Germany
Ive been head shaving with DE razor for so long I think it would be weird to use a cartridge razor now lol
A Gillette razor 3-5 blade replacement head is 1-3 pound each for every 3 head shaves , this is 30 p
I have a leafshave RAZOR and a Headblade ... prefer the Headblade!
Leaf razor is phenomenal
Thank you for these recommendations. Wanna try it out. Clippers especially.
I’ve been shaving my head for 20 years in the best razor I have found yet to date Would be the Mach three power This razor is so smooth and usually cut free it’s a Gillette item I say try it
I'm thinking about to shave my head with a razor in stead of clippers.
But ive got a really sensitive skin , is it smart to try en buy the razor or is it for me a waste of money?
Toughts and tips are welcome! :)
If you have a really sensitive skin you should try Gillette Skinguard. It does not give the closest shave but your skin should be safe.
Yes I only clicked to see a professionally bald man, but was a good video
Just a year behind! What blades do you all recommend for the Leaf?
nice will check these out, clean shaving is the next step over here. if anyone wants something cheap check out the Xiaomi Enchen Hummingbird for 0 guard buzzing. been getting along real well with mine.
Harry how do you manage to Remove all the sides hairs they are very annoying to get Rid off them all yes that looks like a Quality Razor maybe you can do a another Review in this Golden Razor.
Can you use this thing with a single feather blade and get top results ?
Whole thing about using one blade is that multiple give me ingrown hairs.
