Load Your Razor

Your Leaf Two arrives with blades included (stored beneath the razor handle in the packaging tray).

LOADING:
1. Open the head by pressing the lock bar on the back.
2. Place a blade into the bottom position, aligning it with the guides.
3. Flip the next layer up and load the second blade the same way.
4. Close the head until it clicks securely in place.

Each blade position is individually guarded, so the razor works smoothly with one or two blades. We recommend starting with two.

Watch the loading video below for a quick visual walkthrough.

Prep Your Skin

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.

How To Shave

Leaf Two is designed to feel intuitive, even if you're new to safety razors. Here's how to get great results:

1. Hold the razor comfortably with a relaxed grip.

2. Bring the razor to your skin and let the pivot find the angle. There's no need to force it, the head is designed to guide the blades naturally.

3. On well-lubricated skin, use light pressure and smooth, steady strokes. Start by shaving in the direction your hair grows.

ADDITIONAL TIPS:

Rinse frequently to keep the blades clear. In tricky areas, gently stretching the skin behind the blade can improve contact.

Cleaning Your Razor

CARING FOR YOUR RAZOR

Leaf Two 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.

Cautions

Before using your Leaf Two 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 Two Razor if you are unable to safely load and handle the blades.

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

Keep the razor and blades out of reach of children.

Use only as directed.
