Leaf Razor

Your Leaf Razor does not come with blades loaded, you will find a 10 pack of single-edge blades tucked next to the razor inside of it’s box.

1. Unscrew the head of the razor (the screw will not fall out, it is captive).

2. Flip the head open, and starting from the lowest position (bottom, middle, top) load a blade.

3. To “load a blade,” sit it flat on it’s blade level notching both sides. The blades have small half-moon indents on either side, and each blade level has a matching feature. It is very important that the blade is notched on both sides and is seated flat. Watch the videos below for a visual representation of loading.

4. Once you've loaded the blades you're shaving with, screw the head closed. Finger tighten until it's secure, no need to over-tighten. Do not use your razor without the screw engaged.

5. You can load one, two or three blades. Each blade position is individually guarded, which means they can each work independently or in conjunction with each other.

The two most commonly used “loading setups” are either a) fully loaded with all three blades, this will give the closest shave; or b) two blades loaded in the middle and top positions leaving the bottom position empty, this is a gentler setup and most commonly used while you’re learning your tool or if you find this setup gives the closeness you desire.

Watch the instructional videos below to see how to load your new razor.

Note: It does not matter which face of the blade is up they work the same either way.


Start with clean skin and warm water to soften hair. Then apply Shave Oil, Shave Soap, or both to create a smooth, protective layer before you shave.

Good prep helps the razor glide comfortably and reduces irritation. You control exactly what touches your skin.

Bring the razor to your skin and letting the spring maintain the correct pressure—draw the razor across your skin to shave.

Depending on your skin and hair, and your desired level of closeness, complete one pass with the grain of hair growth, re-apply Shave Soap, and complete a second pass across-the-grain or against-the-grain of hair growth for the closest finish.


Aft:

After shaving, thoroughly rinse your razor and place it back into it’s Stand, or hang it on the Shower Holder to dry between uses.

CARING FOR YOUR RAZOR

The Leaf Razor is built to last. A little routine care will keep it performing at its best.

AFTER SHAVING:
Rinse the razor thoroughly under warm water. If you’ve had a heavier shave, open the head and rinse between the blades.

BLADE REPLACEMENT:
Replace blades when you notice tugging, pulling, or reduced smoothness. Used blades can be stored safely in a Recycling Tin.

DEEP CLEANING:
If soap residue builds up over time, remove all blades and give the razor a deeper clean. Use dish soap and an dedicated toothbrush to gently scrub all surfaces, including around the latch and between blade plates. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. For extra freshness, a quick dip in rubbing alcohol is optional before reinstalling fresh blades.

For stubborn soap residue or rust stains from blades (AKA 'tea stains'), soak the razor in a diluted white vinegar bath (1:1 with water) for up to 10 minutes, then follow the steps above.

Each blade may be used until you feel that it is no longer shaving, this is usually experienced as a tugging feeling from the blade.

Before using your Leaf Razor, read through all instructions carefully.

Exercise caution when handling blades, loading blades, and using the razor. The blades are sharp and may cause injury if not loaded and used properly. You should not use the Leaf Razor if you are unable to safely load and handle the blades.

Please keep the razor and blades out of reach of children.

Do not use the Leaf Razor unless blades are properly installed. To understand how blades are properly installed, review these instructions and watch the instructional videos below.

If your screw fails for any reason, please reach out to support@leafshave.com to access your warranty and discontinue use of your razor until it is resolved.

Use only as directed.
