Really tried to love the Twig, The Leaf just feels so much better for my head.

Agreed 👍. It's a little easier to use than the Twig for sure. But both give great results

Nice video. Thanks for the comparison. I have both the twig and leaf. I find the twig to be the better razor for face shaving. I have thought about shaving my head. That's why I got the leaf, but I just haven't bit the bullet yet.

Thank you borwish. When you do decide to shave your dome with the Leaf. Make sure that you get the sharpest blades that you can get hold of. Avoid Kai though!

The leaf is not fully safe to use as described at 12:30. It happened to me as well but i was lucky enough to spot it at the right time to avoid a nasty cut. since then I stopped using it because it is unacceptable in my book. The twig is the better choice in my opinion but yet i still find myself going back to the classic DE razors such as the lovely parker 78R.

Awesome shave Jim and great comparison 👍 I use the Twig more often as I do both head and face shaves quicker. On the other hand I get a closer shave with the Leaf, but behind the ears and under the nose is a bit of a challenge.

The worst shaving cuts I've gotten have been from the leaf. The leaf was a creative thought, but overall a bad design for me. I do want to try the twig at some point.

Sorry to hear that Jester. The only time I draw blood with the Leaf is if I decap a spot on my head.
@petekadenz94652 жыл бұрын
I find the Twig much better for grip, probably because the handle has knurling; whereas the Leaf has none and is very slippery, in my experience. The sleeve that the company sells helps with the grip on the Leaf though.
@JimWillShave2 жыл бұрын
The silver Leaf is much easier to grip I think. It isn't a smooth surface. But Leaf should improve the grip in future versions. Cheers Pete.

I am not one to be picky, but did someone put the Boot in? I mean the Boots shaving Cream 🤣😂🤣 Great comparison Shave Jim👍 The results were as expected when I read the title. I guess a good way to compare the two razors would be to describe the Leaf as a comfortable large family SUV and the Twig as a open topped small sports car that is a lot more fun to drive🏁🏁🏁 Enjoy your evening mate🍻🍺🍻

Hi mate. Cracking vid as usual. I received my leaf today. How many times has yours come undone ? I only realised when my sink was filling with blood the screw had come loose and a blade was wonky and took a massive chunk out my scalp. Kind of puts me off using it again but with all the good reviews I want to keep up with it. Take care keep up the great work 👍🏻

The twig intrigues me. I use a wilkonsword safety razor on my neck and have used it on my head. But I get awful shaving rash. What blades do you use? Id like to master safety razor shaving eventually. But not if Im always going to get rash. Imagine a twig would give similar results to safety razor?
@JimWillShave Жыл бұрын
Hello buddy. A mild razor such as The Wilkinson Sword requires the sharpest of blades. A Feather or Nacet would be my choice. The problem with a mild razor is that it requires more strokes and work to achieve a bbs shave. That is where the shaving rash comes from. The Twig would be much better yes. But I would opt for the Rockwell 6S or 6C if I was you.
