Leaf Shave Razor Disappointment 

The lowest position is the most aggressive which you did not fill on the day before. So you can use all 3 or the lower two. That said this razor is best for legs and I’m told heads.

That's exactly what happened when i used my leaf shave, had to go over it again with a DE razor, such a shame as it really could have been the answer to people who want to save money on blades, but don't feel comfortable with a DE razor. Will say the plastic blade they gave away for free with it is amazing, great for those bits under the nose and around the jaw corners.

Russian hackers must have gotten their hands on that razor... ( 😀 )

the bottom slot is apparently the most aggressive one according to some other vids I watched, you should try that

Just got mine today. It sucks. It left so many hairs on my face and head. Disappointed.

I am so so so disappointed with this razor. I bought both the leaf and the twig. I wanted it for shaving and shaping. The razor is just so damn big. Every DE razor I have feels nice, compact and able to pack a punch. This thing just will NOT shave my beard properly whether I load it with 1, 2 or 3 blades. The most disappointing thing is that I was planning on purchasing this for 2 years as I was abroad. I figured I would purchase it in the States. I have never had a product fall flat as much as this one did for me...

Thanks for the quick follow up video. The 1st one had me chomping at the bit. Shame the way the shave turned out. Keep up the really enjoyable & fun videos. Ron

as for the cella cream,,,great stuff,,,smells just like jergens lotion. cherry almond,,,beautiful stuff....and for the virgin islands clubman bay rum,,,absolutely awesome stuff too. you got some good stuff there guy.

You didn’t use the lowest blade which is the most aggressive. It works much better that way. Plus it’s recommended for body and head shaved. It’s the best head shaver on the market but u need to use the first and second blade. It second and 3rd. Or all 3. First 2 are enough tho.

Can also use just the lowest position for single edge but this is a bit bulky for faces. As you know know they’ve released the Twig that uses 1 half blade and is great for face. The Leaf is my SO’s favorite razor for her legs. I load the top two positions for her and she likes the mildness and long handle and the bulky head is not an issue for her.

It's the blades; I've seen other youtubers use higher quality blades, no problem. The hardware is solid, just their blade selection seems not ideal.

You’re using it too much like a cartridge razor and use feather blades. You shouldn’t need more than one pass if you have a firm grip and gentle long glides. With more practice it’ll grow on you.

I think Gillette achieved perfection with the original DE safety razor design and most things since have been an incremental improvement or a gimmick to make money for the most part.

Were you applying no pressure like you would with a safety razor? Or were you applying pressure like you would with a cartridge razor? I think you should maybe try applying pressure to it if you did not, because with its pivot head and two blades it appears to function more like a cartridge razor than a DE razor.

If applying more pressure does *not* work, I wonder whether the problem might be the fact that the handle is not actually over the blades - it's to the side, and it's on a hinge? Seems silly to me - I think I'd prefer no hinge, so I can apply as much pressure as I like. I'm currently using the old Sensor Excel cartridge, and it's excellent. When I look at the design of the Mach 3, it too looks similar to this Leaf - rotating head, with the handle on the *edge*, instead of the centre. Nuts, IMHO.

That's too bad about the Leaf. I would maybe try it with a better blade, but it looks like the troubles go beyond that. Thanks for the review.

Well , you just skipped most aggressive blade slot and used 2nd and 3rd slot , you may try it again , MAYBE the outcome differ

A Gillette Track II on steroids and price!...If anyone wants to use that junk buy a Track II instead which is a lot cheaper!..

Should’ve put all 3 razors in. Hopefully they made some improvements in the last 4 yrs bc i just paid $80 for one.

I think you worried too much about the angle, as that razor has a pivoting head.

Barbasol should gift you all products & some jingle.

I’d like to see if maybe it’s just the blades it came with. Can u do another video of it using the Feather blades? If the Feathers can’t take down the whiskers with it then it would most def. just be the razor!! lol

I thought about buying that razor. I'm glad I didn't

Hi Bro! Is It stainless steel made of? Great job! Greetings

OH NO! Not dissapointment!

glad to see u my man,,,great video .....yeah man, these suck dude,,,,,sorry u had a bad experience

Happy little brushes💟 when I use a safety razor, I don't go against the grain because it shaves really well🐸

Like mine. More like cartridge but doesn’t plug. I always use three blades. Just let the flex work. You can push a Little unlike de. Even against grain growth it’s not harsh. You are correct handle needs a better grip of some kind. But glad bought mine for a little different shave than de. But still can get a Bbs shave with three passes.

cool Sinatra hi im Jeffrey i shave with a electric razor and other times disposable razors. cool videos funny educational cool

May I recommend you set your white balence to manual. This will keep your walls from changing color.

They had an old DE razor that stacked blades like this. I think they were full blades, though.

Yea dude, maybe you should try it with 3 blades. Specially that bottom razor

I keep nicking my head w/ all 3 blades in place. I am going to try to remove the most aggressive and see if that stops the nicks.

Hello guys it’s a good razor great shave for your head bbs head shave

I’ve heard it’s gentle, but it should still be able to give a good shave. Sucks that it didn’t work out. I would still like to try it though so I may end up picking one up at some point. Would you consider selling it?

Too bad it doesn't turned out that great. As a cartridge shaver (I know, i know….. ) this would have been the perfect hybrid for me. And I really likes the way it looks.

safety razor is not safe it cut my finger i tried it in April bled bad

Are there any other razors that take multiple blades and use normal safety razor blades that are actually good?

It's basically a complex cartridge razor. Based on the start of the video

you don't push your nose up with a big head like most people?

When you can still hear the razor work on pass three you know that something is wrong. :-(

What is your post shave routine with your razor? Do you just rinse it off, Remove the blade, leave blade in, rinse in alcohol, scrub brush it, nothing?

I love your italian accent 😀 Yes, "Cella" is exactly as you pronounced it, but it's not "crema dE barba", it's "crema dA barba" :) Great review, I won't buy the leaf razor!

I think this razor is more for shaving woman's legs and underarms than faces just for the size of it not getting under the nose.

Basically I use cartridge razors with 3 blades

Sinatra Sinatra you didn't use Barbosal. I'm disappointed LOL

Actually, you were right to inform "certain" people that you were just joking about walking around the house wearing shaving lather. This here be Da Inn-Ter-Net and like the coffee; it's chock full of nuts.... ;-)

U are rocking woth your hairs !!!

Great video as always..... too bad the leaf didnt perform.... maybe they should try a different angle on the blades.... well well life goes on : )

If I want to switch to DE safety razor from cartridge razor, what is the best beginner safety razor?thanks

Can you do a video on things you need to get into shaving with a de razor

its cella

I knew it!

cheers good review. id give it a miss. its really just a cartridge razor.

Possibly better with different blades and a third

You need to work the pivot, and if it's not doing the job, you need a blade in the bottom position. The top slot is like your Rockwell on setting one, the middle slot is like setting 2, and the bottom is like setting 4. So mash it on your face more, and use the bottom slot. Also check your this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SBm6RoYldrI.html

i just had to see the unboxing video and knew it would be a bad shaver... two thumbs down for this razor

this is a nightmare.

cool

Way too much of a gimmick, there’s no reason to use this over a cartridge razor. Cartridge razor crowd just wants a quick shave without any effort. DE shavers like to enjoy the experience and go back to a time in razors without the gimmicks. This misses the mark on all ends.

You have to try Clubman if you like the Osage. It's on Amazon for 10 bucks goo.gl/cXumaB or even try the bay rum goo.gl/Xhkk7x ah ha didn't see you got it till the end.

That razor cost 99 dollars I will not buy that razor

I watched 2 other reviews earlier of this razor. Both said it was great. Not sure if they are lying or if yours is defective or what. Though I trust your review most especially since you were given it for free and are okay with criticizing it.

The Leaf just doesn't make sense to me. A person should just shave with a cartridge razor if they want something like the Leaf.

Try to peal the potatoes

Dude's using it completly wrong and calls it a disappointment?🤣🤣

Seems like an over priced cartridge razor.

Looks gimmicky. The head looks ridiculous. Piece of junk as far as I’m concerned. You really only need one cutting edge, hence DE razors and straights ...

Hey buddy! :D

after watching this...i´m NOT buying this....hahahaha jaw implants....you may be able to get it done....so many different surgeries can be made :D
