Links to the razors are at the bottom of the description. In this video, I shave a 36 day beard with Leaf Shave's The Twig and The Thorn. I shave the right side of my face with The Twig and the left side of my face with The Thorn.
The razors appear to be identical with the only difference being the amount of blade exposure. The blade exposure seems to be controlled by a screw.
I haven't tried myself, but if you bought The Twig and wanted a more aggressive shave you could probably mess around with the screw.
Overall, I preferred The Thorn razor over the The Twig. The Thorn was able to shave my beard better which matters when you shave infrequently like myself.
Both the Thorn and The Twig seemed to have issues shaving the cheek area about 1/2 to 1 inch from the sides of my mouth. I tried tightening the skin which seemed to help a little bit, but ultimately I resorted to an across the grain pass to get those hairs.
Shaving the jawline with the grain was awkward to say the least. It felt more awkward than shaving that same area with other safety razors. I think this is due to the angle of the head of the razor to make it harder to nick yourself.
It did feel a little bit more natural holding the razor with my right hand for my left jawline and vice versa as compared to using right hand for right jawline and left hand for left jawline.
Between the two I would go with The Thorn if you were absolutely dead set on buying a Leaf Shave safety razor. However, personally I still prefer the Bevel safety razor over the Leaf Shave safety razors.
