You want a quick shave, a close shave, and a razor that can be refilled often, for less.
BUILT FOR BALD
OUR SIMPLE GUIDE
Excellent razor. I am new to head shaving and this makes it a wonderful experience. I combined the razor with the Leaf oil and soap. This makes for a wonderful shaving experience.
Unbelievably close shave. The three blades make this the closest shave out of any other razor. And the pivoting head makes shaving my head effortless.
Best razor I have ever used for a clean head shave. I haven’t found anything else that cuts this close but so easily! I wanted to get a safety razor but didn’t want to deal with the learning curve.
A SAFETY RAZOR ACTUALLY DESIGNED TO SHAVE HEADS
The Leaf Razor is the first safety razor designed with a multi-blade, adjustable and pivoting head design. What does that mean for you? It means big-time-smooth so you can hold your head high and get on with your day.
Why Leaf for Head Shaving?
The Leaf Razor
The Leaf Razor is the only plastic-free razor specifically designed to handle the needs of head shavers.
- A glass-like finish without excessive passes
- Inexpensive refills so you always have fresh, sharp blades
- A pivoting head to hug your curves and blind-spots
- Adjustable to suit your needs (ex. you can put the razor into 'gentle' mode)
HOW TO HEAD SHAVE
A perfectly smooth head shave, every time.
STEP 1 — THE SETUP 🫧
BUZZ TO PREP
If this is your first time, or if it's been a while since your last head shave — make sure your hair is trimmed short. Take a buzzer and set it to 0 or 1, bringing your hair down close to skin level. If you don't have clippers, head to the barber and ask for a buzz.
To prepare your skin, shave in the shower, right after the shower, or after applying a hot towel to your head for a few minutes. The goal is to open up your pores, soften your hair and hydrate your skin.
[TIP—If this is your first time, commit to the process and enjoy the results.]
PROTECT YOUR SKIN
For an elevated experience, take a Shave Soap Bar, a bowl and a shaving brush and whip up a lather. First, wet the brush then gently wring it out so not too much water is on it.
Then place the bar in the bowl and whip the brush in circles for 60-90 seconds. The longer you whip, the smaller the bubbles get, the creamer the lather. Then apply.
(Don't have time for that? Grab whatever is handy, from shaving cream, to shave butter or even conditioner).
Bonus points if you apply a small amount of Shave Oil underneath the lather, first, to help lock in hair hydration.
STEP 2 — SHAVE ALL OVER 🪒
TEST IT OUT
Especially if this is your first time, you may want to make your first pass shaving 'with the grain' of hair growth on the areas of thicker growth. If you have areas of thinner growth, you may be able to make your first pass against the grain.
[TIP—When working around your ears, pin them back to keep from nicking yourself. The same can be said for shaving along the top of your ear.]
SHAVING WITH THE LEAF RAZOR
I start at the front of my hairline on my forehead and shave backward along the top of my head moving in strips from left-to-right. Then, I move to the side of my head and shave downward (with the grain) or front-to-back which is effectively across the grain of hair growth.
After completing one side, I complete the other side, and then move to the back. I start at the crown of my head and shave downward with the grain of hair growth moving in methodical strips from left to right.
Feel around with your free hand and you'll identify if there are areas that need a second pass. If you only shaved with, or across your grain of hair growth and you desire a skin-close shave then you will likely need to re-lather for a second pass.
Apply another layer of lather, and complete the shave process a second time. This time, shaving against the grain of hair growth.
STEP 3 — SKINCARE 🧴
RE-BALANCE YOUR SKIN'S OILS
You've done the hard part! Now treat yourself right. I always finish with an oil. If your skin is prone to irritation or redness, finish with Calming Serum. If not, you can confidently use Shave Oil after your shave. The oil will help rebalance your skin's natural production, provide needed moisture and protection, and keep your skin happy.
A little goes a long way. Draw a small amount using the dropper and deposit 3-4 drops into your hand. Apply and rub in vigorously on your head for 30 seconds, until it's well absorbed. Spending time outside? Don't forget the SPF.
[TIP—Did you know that shaving strips your skin's natural oils away? That's why your skin often feels dry after shaving.]
HOW OFTEN DO YOU SHAVE?
That depends on how fast your hair grows, and how close of a shave you prefer to keep. Many people will shave their head every few days, tolerating a day or two of regrowth. Others prefer to shave every day. Listen to your skin, and understand what it will tolerate.

SHOP HEAD SHAVING66% of men will show signs of hair loss by 35
By age 35 nearly two-thirds of men in the US will have some degree of hair loss. Everyone approaches this differently. Whether you embrace your look, or embrace the shave, remember that you're not alone. What surprises a lot of men who start head shaving is how quickly they go through blades, and the cost can add up. That's why shaving with Leaf can actually save you money, with refills starting at 15¢ cents each.
"This razor is awesome! I went from having to shave my head once a week to wanting to shave my head twice a week!Took me a few uses to get used to it because it is not like a Gi**ette razor, it's better and sharper for longer. This will save me a ton of money over the years because my old razors only lasted 2 head shaves then had to be replaced. Couldn't be happier with my purchase."
HOW LEAF RAZOR HELPS HEAD SHAVERS
"Hello there! This is Adam speaking, I'm one of the co-founders at Leaf Shave and I've been shaving my head for four years now. I have intimate knowledge of what makes a good and a bad head shaving razor. And WOW when I have to shave with a razor that's not The Leaf razor I really miss it. There's something so incredibly satisfying about getting a quick, effortlessly smooths have every time. I love this razor, and I hope you'll be loving it soon too." - Adam S.
✏️ An eraser for your head
Nothing is worse than struggling to get a close shave, running a razor over and over your skin again. That leads to irritation, lengthy shaves, and nicks and cuts. The Leaf Razor is tuned to easily deliver a smooth-to-the-touch finish, every time.
⚙️ Adjustable to your skin
Everyone's head, hair and skin tolerates razors differently. That's why The Leaf Razor is built to be adjustable. We can do this because we load the blades individually. For the closest shave: load all three blades. For more sensitive skin and a gentler shave: leave the bottom spot empty. Experiment to find what works best for you.
♻️ Worry-free, and plastic-free
Adam tried to make traditional double-edge safety razors work for his head shave and simply couldn't. Maintaining the correct angles on a constantly curving surface with minimal visibility was too time consuming and too dangerous. The Leaf Razor delivers blades to your skin at a safer angle and the pivoting head automatically keeps the blades in contact at all times. Even when working quickly on areas you can't see.

The Leaf Razor is the only plastic-free razor specifically designed to handle the needs of head shavers.
- A glass-like finish without excessive passes
- Inexpensive refills so you always have fresh, sharp blades
- A pivoting head to hug your curves and blind-spots
