FIRST LOOKS? Wow.
Your Single-Edge Razor is built around a single blade and an all-metal handle. Hold it, turn it over, get a feel for its weight and balance. This is your new razor.
Watch the unboxing for your razor, closely review blade loading, and get familiar with the stand.
FROM FACE to body.
Our Single-Edge Razors are built for precision face shaving, but it doesn't stop there. Here's how to get a clean shave wherever you need it.
CARE FOR THE THINGS that care for you.
A few minutes every now and then is the difference between a razor you replace and one you hand down.
Your razor is finished to fight off corrosion, but nothing that lives in a wet room is indestructible. Keep it clean, let it dry, give it some air. And every once in a while, give it a deep clean. That's it!
WHEN, HOW & which ones?
Leaf steel blades run about 20¢ each. Plastic refills can cost $2.50-5.00+. The math, as they say, maths.
Our razors do not use proprietary blades. They work with standard safety blades.
quick answers.
Most shavers get 6–12 shaves per blade. Everyone is different, some go months - others like a new blade every other shave.
You'll know it's time when the razor tugs instead of glides.
Standard half-DE blade shapes like Leaf Shave brand blades, or (almost) any double-edge blade snapped in half.
(Please note: as we don't control manufacturing tolerances for other brands of blades, we can't guarantee every single blade in existence will fit Leaf Shave razors).
Yes! The pre-angled blade takes the guesswork out of finding the right shaving angle, and the balanced blade exposure keeps the shave comfortable from day one.
Get a Leaf recycling tin drop your used blades in, and when it's full, mail the whole thing back to us or recycle locally.
Press (don't wipe) with a clean cloth or bandage. Typically, nicks close on their own in a minute or two.
