Leaf Shave - Rose Gold Leaf Razor Set: 3-Blade, All-Metal, Pivoting Head, Women's Body & Head Shaver Gift Set

I was looking for a razor that was both sustainable and effective. I've used this razor twice now, and it gets the job done. I also tried it with my face, and it worked just fine. They Leaf Brand has other razors that are supposedly better for the face - but if you don't have sensitive skin or other concerns, you might just be able to stick with just this version. Four stars because of the following: This razor isn't going to be fun if you have dexterity issues - it is heavy and slippery when wet so you will have to remain aware of how you are using it. There is a separate grip you can buy but for the price why wouldn't it come with a grip and a cover? I never used anything like this (solid Venus user) and was able to use it without any cuts or nicks. It doesn't come with a razor cover and you have to buy the travel case separately.

Updating from 3 to 5 stars: Leaf’s customer service went above and beyond to keep me as a customer. They responded so quickly. I sent them proof of purchase and a photo and they agreed to replace my broken razor, no problem. They didn’t have the original finish (rose gold) that I purchased, so they let me pick a new one I liked. They are sending it asap to me and I couldn’t be happier. THAT is customer service - being prompt, polite, and making it right. After one year, my razor bit the dust. The flexing head portion of the razor broke. So, it’s just floppy and I can’t shave properly now. I’ve always been careful with it and taken care of it. I loved this razor, but for the price point, it just didn’t hold up. Not sure if this is a fluke or if it has happened to others, but I’m disappointed.

The wife loves this razor and refills are very affordable. Will last for years

I actually own two of them, one I use for travel. It is sleek and works very well. I am going to attempt to split into pros and cons! Pros: The razor is a great design to hold, and seems to need very little effort to achieve a great shave. The razor blades themselves are small but mighty and last longer than the brands that’s seem to be so disposable these days. And the replacement cartridges are so expensive. This razor is easy to fill with the blades and they last and last. Plus I really love the color choices. They are shiny and look great. Cons: From my experience you have to prepare your legs (or whatever is to be shaved) beforehand so that you can rinse and dry your hands BEFORE you pick up the razor to shave. The weight of the razor (which at first is surprising) is heavy compared to ‘normal’ razors and can be very slippery if your hands are wet or soapy. That is one reason I don’t use it in the shower because it’s too difficult to carefully use it in the shower. Plus it should be rinsed clean and then dried to preserve the razor from rust and damage. In my use of this razor there is only the one Con of the slippery handle. All other aspects of it seem to be on the Pro side of things. At least for me! Buy one! You’ll love it!

I’m not going to say this is the best razor I ever owned, because I’ve used disposable razors that are just as good, but what I needed to do was cut down on my use of disposable items. I started to realize the amount of waste I’ve been adding to the landfills throughout the years and it made me feel extremely guilty. So my goal is to reduce disposable waste by at least 75% and this razor fit my needs and lifestyle. It looks good and is easy to use. There is a small amount of fear I had when I first started. I didn’t want to end up cutting myself so I started off very gently and incrementally increased the pressure until it was doing its job without any wounds. So yeah, I recommend this to my friends and family since it will make a dent in the amount of waste I produce throughout the years.
