Leaf Two Razor
Product Description:
Cartridge razors are a subscription you never signed up for. This one is all metal with nothing plastic to crack, and it takes standard safety blades at roughly $0.20 each instead of $5. The head pivots behind the blade face, so it follows your jaw, knee, or ankle instead of fighting it. Run two blades for a fast close shave, or one if your skin is touchy. Good on face, head, legs, underarms, and bikini line. One blade lasts most people 8 to 12 shaves. Ships with 10 blades to start.
###
Ingredients:
Handle and head - solid all-metal construction with a corrosion-resistant finish, no plastic parts to crack or cloud over. Pivot - positioned behind the blade face and slightly below center, which is what gives you control over pressure instead of the razor deciding for you. Blades - recyclable steel in the standard half double-edge format, universal rather than proprietary, so you are never locked into one brand or one price. [NEED: exact alloy and handle weight - Leaf does not publish either]
###
How to use:
Load one blade if your skin is sensitive, two if you want speed. Go slow and let the weight of the handle do the work, no pressing. Rinse it after every shave and let it dry somewhere with air around it, not in a puddle on the shower ledge. Every few months, open it up, scrub it, and dry it thoroughly. If you spot rust or discoloration, soak it in diluted white vinegar before that deep clean.
###
The Business:
Leaf Shave was started by two friends who were tired of bad shaves and disposable cartridges, and they say they have kept over 25 million plastic razors and cartridges out of landfills since 2018. Products are Leaping Bunny certified, packaging is FSC certified, and they partner with rePurpose Global on ocean-bound plastic recovery.
###
End Life:
The razor is not the thing that ends, the blades are. Collect used blades in a sealed metal tin, never loose in the trash where they can cut somebody, then mail the full tin back to Leaf at their recycling address in Stonington, CT and they go out as scrap steel. A tin holds a couple hundred blades, so you will do this about once a decade. If the razor itself ever gives up, it is solid metal and goes in scrap metal too.
