Leaf Shave Razor... Redemption?

[@missvidabom]

If you can’t afford to watch the whole thing you need only to see just the bit at 11:32 and you‘ll hear everything you need to know. Made my day.

[@Keallei]

Saw this time stamp just as I came upon that part of the video and had a good laugh. Definitely a good nugget of wisdom there ;)

[@TheHarlequinProphet]

Love it when a KZbinr listens to the fans, Kudos to you good sir! Your videos always bring me wholesome relaxation.

[@SinatraLennon]

Thanks for being a part of the fun!

[@waynester2013]

Good job on giving a second review on the product! You are a Gentleman Shaver Enthusiast!! Cheers 💈

[@SinatraLennon]

Cheers to you, too!

[@WolfRanger2008]

It's always GREAT to see a reviewer who does not let hubris get in the way of attempting to give a fair assessment of a product.

[@SinatraLennon]

Yeah, I’m just trying to be honest and as real as I can be. Thanks for the words of support.

[@jaypicout4427]

Love your videos. I enjoy them when I'm shaving myself. You are like a shaving mentor since you are the one who got me into shaving with a DE.

[@SinatraLennon]

That’s great! Glad you could join me.

[@GilaMonster971]

Only reason I want to try a leaf is for head shaving. I don’t mind shaving my head with any of my DE razors (I enjoy it) but still am curious about the Leaf enough to try it.

[@stevensparks19]

I actually ordered one of these a couple weeks ago for my girlfriend. She hates the waste associated with disposable razors so I spent some time looking up a good alternative to a cartridge but without the learning curve of a safety razor. I ended up picking this one because it didn’t take proprietary single edged blades which were over priced. I have a couple hundred blades she can pick from, plenty of which I’m not a fan of using on my face. So far she loves it for her legs, which I think may be it’s best market. I plan to snatch it and try it on my face a couple times to see if I’m into it, but I don’t really have any issues using my safety razor so I’m unsure if I’d buy one for myself.

[@sarahreese516]

Aww, I love your personality. You are a very kind and loving person. 😊 I had to subscribe. I just bought a safety razor to try for the first time. I am nervous, but seeing your videos are giving me confidence and making me laugh. I use electric shavers because disposable razors would irritate my skin, but I wanted to try a safety razor since my electric shaver takes a while to achieve a smooth shave. Thank you for sharing your positive and lovable personality with us and helping us to become confident shavers. ☺❤ We are really grateful.

[@SinatraLennon]

Thanks for the kind words! Good luck with the safety razor and let me know how it goes.

[@sarahreese516]

@@SinatraLennon Hehe you're welcome! Thank you, too. 😊 I will make sure to let you know.

[@sarahreese516]

@@SinatraLennon I just finished trying the safety razor! I love it very much! (^.^) It really did give me the closest shave that I ever had. I was so nervous that I was going to cut myself, but I am so thankful that I didn't. I kept recalling how you held your safety razor while shaving. Thank you so much for your guidance 🤗

[@andrewwilson9617]

The Leaf Razor would be a great head shaver.

[@PolarBearXx]

I dig this razor I hate feeling stubble or any little hair and the leaf is perfect for a smooth close shave that’s what makes cartridge razors best for that smoothness and not feeling any hairs at all

[@MichaelLamberson]

The Leaf Razor is the best head shaver around. I agree about face shaving!

[@bg-id1uo]

Thnx for a second trial review of the Leaf Razor !I highly respect and value all your reviews /takes on razors products brushes soaps etc . I am now sticking with my vintage Gillette Doubled Edge /Gem Micromatic razor and Merkur Futur replica razor for my daily traditional wet shaving routine

[@dazza8692]

Well done for a very honest review and a second chance... is what it is...

[@leondaniels304]

Great shave Frank! The rockwell S6 is a hard razor to beat, but the fatboy, made in the late 50s still holding its own! Amazing.

[@waynewinter569]

I just started using the Rockwell DE safety razor and so far I love it. I believe I'm a changed man, but I have to admit, the leaf shaver has my interest. I also like the twig idea.

[@CounterNerd]

Nothing's ever gonna beat a classical ol' double-edged safety razor, but good on ya for giving the product a second review.

[@leekhan8948]

I couldn’t agree more; all this time i had been happy with my classic double edge razors then this leaf ad poop d up on Facebook and prompts me to consider leaving my tried and true double edge safety razors which, I had spent years of spilling blood from cutting myself in the process of learning to use. I refuse to be persuaded by this mass produced, pot metal, razor; my classic Gillette and Schlick razors were all American made and of solid brass. I pass on these leaf gimmicks

[@Mvendrel]

Great that you redid this. I agree for me a Fatboy or Slim or Rockwell 6 or RazoRock BBS hit my important issues for my face. But leg and head shavers rave about the Leaf. Now we have the metal Twig, which as you say is a great face shaver.

[@bobjones8321]

Great video! Thank you!

[@markdarakjian2472]

In my opinion this Leaf razor is the best razor I’ve ever used! I have other DE saftey razors,but don’t use them anymore after getting this Leaf. It’s soo easy and smooth you don’t have to worry about cutting yourself. I get a BBS shave every time with this razor it’s that amazing!

[@stellarorbit1341]

I actually hadn't seen this video when I decided to purchase it. I thought by the first video you made, that there wasn't second one and I purchased it only because of what they stand for in terms of less plastic waste. I can say that the advice you got in the first video is indeed true as that is what I did unknowingly and it worked great for me. I think I still prefer using a de for when cutting down 2+ week growth on my face, but I like this razor a lot.

[@ccooper8040]

Many have tried but it is really hard to improve upon the DE razor.

[@Jeffreycox521]

its ok Sinatra good videos i am glad i found this channel last year i think it was i dont know

[@_allcap]

The trimming balde on the back of the cartridge is the only blade I use lol really good for lining up the bottom of my beard and around the jawline

[@TheFredfredburger09]

whiskers is a dope name for a cat

[@Lew114]

I’m 54 and have used a Gillette Sensor for as long as I can remember. More than 2 blades always seemed ridiculous to me. The price went up again. I’m done. I also realized how wasteful they are. I’m having trouble adjusting to a DE razor though. Lots of cuts and shaving takes a long time. I’m going to stick it out for a little longer, but the Leaf is my backup plan. Apparently they listened to you when you made this video. They have a 30 day money back guarantee. Come to think of it maybe I’ll just go ahead and order one. Nothing to lose by trying.

[@SinatraLennon]

The Thorn or Twig by Leaf could do you right. It’s a single bladed safety razor that uses normal safety razor blades snapped into two. Easier than a DE razor and maneuverable as heck. Let me know how you like it!

[@madiis18account]

I think this kind of razor will be really popular with women who like the mild feel of cartridge razors but want a more environmentally friendly option than disposables. It might also be a good “transition” razor for people too scared to jump straight from cartridge to DE.

[@SinatraLennon]

Good points, both.

[@lllovesalll]

Yup I'm one of those women trying to reduce waste. Just picked one of these up for a crazy $150+ tax in Canada. Thanks for testing and giving us your honest advice and tips. I'll be testing out the Leaf in sunny Costa Rica next week💦

[@albertcastro409]

Madeleine H - When I shave with DE got cut up pretty good. But later got back into it.

[@desperatedan3985]

I don’t have the leaf, but what I’ve heard and seen bottom 2 blades way to go👍🥃

[@robbruno6713]

3 feather blades??... your a brave man!

[@jasperjones6857]

Going for the COLD aftershave! Have some of it somewhere. Just dug through things and found four(4) razors I hadn't seen in a while.

[@Keallei]

This was helpful. Thank you!

[@shavefan12]

I think the twig is meant to trim under the nose where the leaf misses.

[@SinatraLennon]

Possibly, but I don’t want two devices to do the job that one should.

[@leondaniels304]

Mmmm! Why didn’t they fix the fourth blade, reversed on top! And call it a fusion.🤣

[@scottishjimmy9813]

The Shaving Channel you are correct sir

[@Get483]

Lol 😂 the razors talking was epic

[@jonathanlewis4077]

Good morning bro it’s Jon good morning guy it’s awesome how you try deferent Razors your so funny and a good guy always enjoy your video every time guy

[@ryanbratoc]

The whole point of using old school type razors is not having to use 3 blades I just ordered the startup package for the one blade if it's good I'm going to move them get the Genesis one I started using a regular old butterfly safety razor again that's what I learned how to shave on as a kid went back to and I feel that's the best way to shave but I am willing to try these new razors I just ordered the one blade the cheap one for now... I'm also going to give the Supply Company razor a shot but I'm not too keen on buying a razor like this that has 3 blades I might as well just use a cartridge

[@DataGeek903]

the 3 blades are 3 half blades, cost about 10c for all 3. a catridge is upwards of $2

[@albertcastro409]

Good Review 👍🏻👍🏻 As always. Not a lot of people like safety razors. When I try safety razors I cut myself bad. And watch a few KZbin videos. And little by little I got the hang of it. I need to start using the again. I’ve been using the cartridge razors again. But will use the safe razor also. From rock well.

[@qasimzaffar5881]

Inferior shave at a much higher price it seems! Wanted to like it because it looked stylish lol

[@SinatraLennon]

It was a cool looking razor, but...

[@CincyShaves]

That's a really neat razor. If you had a cat, you could buzz it with clippers name it stubble. Great shave!

[@sheshaveswithjill4838]

Put myself on the waitlist for the Rose Gold Starter Kit.

[@ronireland3389]

I think I have pretty much beat the Leaf to death, but sometime in the future, I would like to see you shave 1) with the bottom blade only, and with the bottom and the blade above it. It seems to me that if you use 3 shards you are going to alot of trouble to replicate a Mach 3 which we already have, I also wonder why you didn't try the little, trimmer razor for the nostril hairs right below the nose. I think you have a tougher beard than mine because I don't have to press any harder with my Mach 3 than my Rex Ambassador. I do get more tugging however. Cheers, Ron in Memphis

[@SinatraLennon]

All good ideas, as soon as this whole Leaf Shaver ordeal is behind us! 😏

[@kuddusiboztas1998]

11:31 hahaha

[@MrPleers]

I might buy it, if I see one in a shop. Just for curiousity sake. As a collector's item.

[@AMB666]

3 videos in 2 days is awesome! Bob ross🌲

[@timkennedy1192]

You are a true gentleman. Few reviewers would go the extra mile you have. I am going to stick with my 1965 Lady Gillette and Personna blades. If I want the "experience" of a cartridge razor, I will buy Barbasol (really Dorco) disposables like I use for my travel razor (5 for $1).

[@Robosan4000]

Do you know of any other razors that use a DE blade snapped in half?

[@allthingsgood7976]

Katana razor and others.

[@clownworldresidentii5184]

Razorock Eco

[@Robosan4000]

​@@clownworldresidentii5184 Ah, thanks. Didn't know about that one... I'll order one. I managed to get a Broman off of Ebay, and a Katana from Aliexpress. I like both of those. I have the Leaf, but it doesn't really appeal to me with the large razor head.

[@tepa307]

Great video!

[@lylewilliams1371]

Thank you!

[@kaninchen7932]

I guess the moving head makes it difficult to get a smooth shave....

[@anonymoususer1231]

How is it for razor bumps after? Thanks

[@s.j.l.8736]

Do you think the Leaf Shave razor with three blades in it is better or not than the three bladed Gillette Mach 3 razor?

[@SinatraLennon]

The head is probably larger on the Leaf, so harder to shave under the nose.

[@pvman2]

I use my "trimmer blade" every day, especially around my moustache.

[@charleywaynehinkle6358]

they could make the blades adjustable to stand them out a little more.

[@MickeEng]

Great video, weird razor...well anyway, ever tried a Feather Shavette??? They give really close shaves with their sillysharp Superblades 😁😋.

[@pkj77]

well i use the little extra blade when i use the multi blade now and again as i have a Goatee and sideburns...that Osage Rub nowhere to be found in Denmark

[@SinatraLennon]

Not even via something like Amazon?

[@pkj77]

problem by Amazon or Ebay any liquid is prevented by the European union to be shipped as they are paranoid it could be liquid explosive substance

[@pkj77]

sorry dont get you

[@nezircaglar1117]

Have u ever tried focus r 48 or occam's single edge safety razors

[@bobert6644]

Would you say this is easier to use than a safety razor? I want to ditch disposeable razers but i'm scared to use a safety razor as I'm more used to cartidge razors with their pivots.

[@SinatraLennon]

Safety razors shouldn’t scare you at all. Try one, you’ll see why I fell in love with them.

[@D.H.CE_FL]

Edison, I was scared of safety razors when I first got one. I don't think I finished shaving an entire cheek before I realized there was next to nothing to be scared of. I wouldn't even be scared to drunk-shave after a few months practice.

[@michaelmclelland8440]

Yes I will there good Shaving buddy

[@iswtwytv]

Laughed at the brief "old Fatboy lecturing the sullen teen Leaf" bit. Strictly speaking, you should also do a shave with blades in the 1 and 3 positions....just kidding😉

[@SinatraLennon]

Aaargh!

[@shawnrodgers2180]

Where did u find the sharp dressed man soap?

[@SinatraLennon]

At Stirling Soap Co.’s website. Try ‘em out!

[@aiquelindo]

Does anyone know where this razor is manufactured?

[@albertcastro409]

Do you feel it’s a easy razor blade to assemble for 🪒 shaving. And do you recommend this razor 🪒 for thick 🧔 beards. I shave mines off. But will shave most likely twice a week

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

I thought that was Sam Rockwell in the thumbnail.

[@SinatraLennon]

Ha! I wish that I had his $$$

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

SinatraLennon I went to the same high school as him. Even though he was there before I was born I heard stories from past alumni about how he was sort of a cheapskate who would compulsively shoplift as a teenager.

[@sulf49]

This is the best Razor that I have been using for shaving my head, before I'm using Gillette Fusion Mach 5 that is no way close to the performance of Leaf Razor. It is smooth, close and faster than using with the 5 blade catridge.

[@albertcastro409]

Does your face feel agitated shaving every day. Or your face is adjusted to shaving every day so it doesn’t affect you?

[@SinatraLennon]

Yeah, I don’t get much irritation, but sometimes I do. That’s when I take a break for a day or two.

[@albertcastro409]

SinatraLennon Thank You. For writing. I have the Rockwell. I need to start using that again. Since I shave my beard off. I enjoy it !

[@oddpersona22]

[@zaixai9441]

Wow, you look so different. I didn't realise how much different you look.

[@SinatraLennon]

[@QuizVoyagers]

I’ll still shave with my mule. One blade is still better than 3. My mule can get under the nose, and the leaf cannot. Kinda pissed me off about that.

[@michaelmclelland8440]

Got me some osage rub coming there sanatra bob Ross I know I’m gonna love it

[@eminusipi]

I thought that the Rockwell 6S was your favourite.🤔

[@Zepsor]

Anyone use this for head shaving? Love DE shaving but cannot for the life of me use a DE razor on my head. Cartridge is just so much better in that regard.

[@jonmanilenio]

Rockwell 6s to the rescue :D

[@tadourm]

Just got a 6s a week ago. Most enjoyable shave I've had. Merkur and ej89 are nice but wow, the 6s is such a step up

[@petrub27]

He never used it since That speaks volumes

[@SinatraLennon]

Sent it off to someone that wanted it.

[@nietztsuki]

If you use a more shallow angle (about 20 degrees) you won't have to press so hard.

[@jonnsmith180]

A Gillette angled head handle with single blade safety razors. This razor takes MORE care to prevent nicks and cuts than a cartridge type. At $85 it better be the last razor handle you ever buy.

[@Jeffreycox521]

you should use lotion i use cologne too

[@mcqueen7584]

Also also :)

[@bram6955]

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.

[@brianb.2894]

Hi. Gonna have to pass on this razor I think. Just to much hassle loading and at best, not a great improvement over your average de razor. Thanks for the video.

[@knightmare1015]

I love my Leaf razor & Twig Sculptor trimmer. 1 week ago yesterday, I took down a 7 day old heavy beard in 3.5 passes. You didn't press hard enough to allow the pioting head to do its job and with all 3 slots loaded with Feather blades you can take down a heavy beard like I did. You can see the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGGmZ4Kbrd2Bb80
