There’s no doubt about it. The Leaf is the most advanced plastic-free razor available. It is particularly efficient at shaving bodies, heads, and anywhere where you’re covering a lot of ground. The razor head is designed to work just like modern cartridge razors but without any of the plastic.
But yes, at $84, The Leaf Razor does carry a higher cost than some other options. Traditional safety razors can range in cost from the very cheap (roughly $15 to $20) to premium-priced (hundreds of dollars). Leaf Razor pricing falls somewhere in the middle. And with refills that cost a fraction that of even the cheapest online razor clubs.
The important thing here is:
The Leaf Razor does not work like a traditional safety razor.
The purpose of both a traditional safety razor and a Leaf Razor is to use it to shave. The Leaf, however, is designed and built with modern ergonomics and an understanding of safety, speed, and ease of use. It’s an improvement in shaving technology over classic double-edge (“DE”) razors.
The improved experience is made possible by the more advanced design and construction – namely the pivoting head, the multiple blades, and how those blades are engineered to approach your skin and hair when shaving.
You can spend less on a traditional safety razor, but it will not work like a Leaf.
Traditional safety razors are designed for maximum manual control over the razor. With this comes a large learning curve, a blade exposure that can really ‘get’ you if you’re not careful, and a shaving technique that prioritizes short, slower strokes.
The Leaf Razor, on the other hand, is closer in DNA to a modern cartridge razor like a Gillette, Billie, Dollar Shave Club, etc. The biggest difference is that you load the steel blades individually, and they’re not encased in plastic.
The world’s first multi-blade pivoting head plastic-free razor.
Leaf Shave is a leading innovator in the sustainable shaving industry with market-leading technology. There is nothing else quite like a Leaf Razor. If you are looking for the most familiar experience, The Leaf Razor is the last razor you’ll ever buy.
Is The Leaf worth it?
The Leaf Razor is priced at roughly the equivalent of 10-12 months of shaving with a premium cartridge in order to provide a quick payback period. What are some reasons why folks who take a leafy leap LOVE the choice and never look back?
- The shave actually delivers. It’s close, smooth, and safe.
- All Leaf Shave razors carry a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
- You have a 30-day trial period to decide if you love it or not.
- Refills are non-proprietary and compatible with any standard safety razor blade.
- You can find refills as low as $0.05 cents each.
- No other metal razor has the same features as a Leaf Razor.
Hundreds of thousands of shavers across the globe have begun loving their shave with Leaf over the past few years. Still not convinced? I hope that you check out The Razor Study, a randomized controlled study looking at the effectiveness of The Leaf Razor when compared with a traditional double-edge safety razor.
