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 ...
Do we really need all 3?
@@G-Doyle 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 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'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!
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!
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.
Just got my twig razor!! Thanks for the recommendation and discount!!
Great video. Just ordered the Leaf a few minutes ago! Can’t wait to try it out when shaving my head.
exactly what i needed
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!
Thank you for doing this video! Been waiting to see what type of razor you support for a good head shave!
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 👍🏾
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!
Just received my leaf today. Loaded 3 leaf blades and got a fantastic head shave.
I’ve been enjoying using Harrys shavers recently but will defiantly consider this in the future.
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.
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!
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.
Thank you for these recommendations. Wanna try it out. Clippers especially.
Good stuff, definitely gonna check it out
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.
That twig one seems awesone. Very minimalist.
I just shaved my head today! I feel great
the pose by the ocean with the leaf.... lol absolutely hilarious
I'm still using the Remington HC4250 for my 0 guard. Great video man
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.
Thanks for showing how to break the blades in two for us newbies
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!!
Love your expertise :D Amazing and handsome! This video is really informative!
What shaving soap do you use? I have the Leaf razor and just ordered the Twig today.
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?
@@ZakBoxer all 3
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...
Definitely in on the Leaf and Twig
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.
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.
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.
Definitely give feather blades a go. They are the best blades and sharpest you can get. Been using them for years.
The razors look quite fancy and awesome. I like the oldskool shaving tools.
"Didn't quite cut it". Unintentional pun!! Great vid. Cheers man.
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
Can you reccomend next best razor to the leaf? Its so expensive when factoring cost plus shipping to UK
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.
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.
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.
Leaf razor is phenomenal
Hope you do another outdoor shave in 2021 that was a great one
Absolutely. Just need this pandemic to be under control 👍
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.
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 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 convinced me mate
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
Hi all together, great page😜
I hate to Shave all the time
What's happened with Epilation?
Will the Leaf Shave rust over time? Also does the gold/black/silver/mercury coating wear off as well?
Just ordered the twig. I have the leaf shaver but would like to use the twig for the face.
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!
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.
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 are going to try the leaf do yourself a favor and get some astra green blades to try. That combo is so good!
Which razor by leaf are you recommending I went to their website and I just wondering which one you bought thank you Grace and peace
do you go with the grain 1st then against it? or with the leaf just straight to against the grain?
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
I'm currently using Wilkinson DE razor for my head and it keeps clogging! Is there any clogging issues with the Leaf or Twig razors? Sometimes I might shave ever 5 days, can they handle longer hair growth?
would you do another beard shave soon?
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
Speaking my language! Thanks for the review
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?
which is the best for head shaving.
1. Leaf Razor. or
2. Leaf twig
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...
this seems pretty cost effective way of shaving and better for the environment 😊😊😊
It really is!
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!
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...
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.
Ive been using Harry's razors for a couple of years and had some really bad cuts with then so looking for something new. before is used the Mach 3 and was happy but the cost was stupid however due to the cuts caused by the Harry's I'm apprehensive about trying a leaf so i would really like some opinions and advice
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.
Guys ive had them all. The cheapest ones work good. I have bic 5 bladed razors. They work great
you should review hair systems, that would make for interesting viewing....................
Do you have to pay customs or anything to have the leaf delivered to the UK?
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.
Leaf twig razor is the best,I love leaf twig
The stubble looks great on you. You appear way younger
have you ever tried any of the zero gapped Skelton razors?
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.
What about razor bumps behind your head almost by the top of your neck . Do you still those bumps with these products
Looking to purchase a new razor strictly for head shaving, would like to know if the twig has taken your number one spot. Thanks for you help.
Just a year behind! What blades do you all recommend for the Leaf?
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.
I was going to buy the wahl super taper cordless at around 70/80 pounds I think then I seen this video and I’m now considering these, can anyone advise if they are that good or is it worth paying the extra for the wahls? Any thoughts would be great cheers :)
I've tried 3 different safety razors now and they all seem to cut me or take chunks out. Had anyone experienced this with the leaf or does it not cut the skin?
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
Any word on the Luminal clippers? I cant reach any surker clippers in my country but we have Luminals!
Do double edge safety razors work on the Leaf?
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.
Which one is a closer shave? the Twig or the Leaf?
face at 2:59 is EPIC!
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.
Ok so I wanted to ask some advice from Harry or anyone that uses a leaf razor.
So before switching to leaf I was using the Gillette skin guard but in a bid to save money on Gillette’s expensive cartridges & to cut down on plastic I decided to get a leaf razor after seeing so many great reviews.
Here comes my problem... I can’t seem to use the leaf without nicking my head which never happened to me with the Gillette.
I know each blade is set with its own harshness... the bottom one being the most harsh & the top being the least.
My question is if I took the bottom blade out would that mean less chance of nicking myself? Also does that mean the shave won’t be as close?
I’m really trying to make this work for me rather than it be a failed experiment & have to admit defeat & switch back to Gillette.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Did you figure it out yet?
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
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'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.
