Leaf Shave v. DEFENDER Razor | Sunday Shave ep.27 

Thanks!! Happy Holidays 🖐🏽

👍🏽

@@averageguytested tried DEFENDER razor for the first time today and it was great! It really does great job reaching curved surfaces like under the nose/chin.

Right on. I have both and no comparison. The defender is 10 times better. I have to make a minimum of 4-5 passes with the leaf. Only 2 with the defender

👍🏽 I enjoy the Leaf too. The Defender has been a game changer 👍🏽

I've got the defender also and don't particularly care for it. Isn't anywhere near a close shave. And the blades wore quickly on my face for some reason

It needs a tweak. I see lots of ads of it for women - so they may be toeing the line between men and women’s shaving

I agree.

Thanks for watching and for commenting 👍🏽

I’ve been struggling for about two years to find what works best for me. The leaf paired with Astra blades was too aggressive for me even when only using 2 blade slots. A few days ago I picked up a dollar shave club six blade from target. I had my second shave with it this morning and it’s provided a more comfortable shave than my current Gillette Skinguards. I have a Defender in the mail currently so if it doesn’t work out I’ll be switching to the DSC 6 blade. I only use the razors to shave my head and I’m shaving every other day. Just my personal experiences.

@@TCX-up6hs been using Gillette most of my life lol, but wanted to swap cause I hate the clogging... used Harry's and DSC, but felt the need to swap, I ordered the Defender myself the other day. I too shave the dome lol so I wanted something good for the head.

@@Nipstradamus I have high hopes for this defender based on reviews. Which defender blades did you opt for and why? I chose the regulars since I’m on a quest for the closest shave possible while still maintaining some comfort. If the regulars don’t work out I’ll try the sensitive blades next. Good luck with your defender!

@@TCX-up6hs I too went with the regular blades. I have never really had an issue with shaving... unless you wanna talk about the slaughterhouse I had this morning with my safety razor.... lmao, been a couple years using it, but after a shower it was all clear lol. Really hoping this works wonders on head shaving though, I generally shave maybe once or twice a week, that's why i was all about the no clogging aspect of this razor. You?

@@Nipstradamus I’m shaving every other day and I’m addicted to the completely bald feeling you can only achieve through an against the grain shave. The only thing keeping me from shaving daily is the irritation. After a year with the Gillette Skinguard and mediocre results (1 comfortable shave and 2 or 3 additional okay shaves per cartridge) I began searching for an alternative. I found the Defender and went for it. In the meantime I decided to try the DSC 6 blade and found that a sensitive razor may be the opposite of what I thought I needed. This whole time I was trying to achieve an aggressive shave using a non aggressive razor. At this point I wouldn’t be disappointed if the defender is the last razor I ever have to try. I hope it treats you well brother! Edit: I don’t know why but the Leaf just tore me up! Many times I’ve returned to give it another chance and every time it’s the same results. I’ve tried it with different shave creams, gels and soaps and it’s just a no go for me.

Indeed.

👍🏽

We love having you at the party, brah! Thanks for the tip!

I agree 100%

All good points. Thanks for watching 👋🏽

Cheers to you too!

Cheers!

Let me know how you like the leaf. Thanks for watching 👋🏽

Yes, the Boldking - like many cartridge razors is designed for ease of use. The LEAF requires a bit more technique. Stick with what works for you! 👍🏽

The defender is the best! Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks, Sean. Yeah, that top bit is failed design. Happy Sunday!

👍🏽 love it up there! Enjoy!

Yes, it’s uniquely designed for all skin types - plus you have the flexibility to add or remove individual DE blades to suit your needs. I can’t recommend it enough. The TWIG is also a great option!

@@averageguytested Thanks for your reply my man!

Awesome! Try the DEFENDER - sensitive blades. They may be the ticket 👍🏽 thanks for subscribing and commenting!

👍🏽

Ok - sounds like a plan.

Ok. I can do that.

@@averageguytested Fusion and Mach 3 were always my goto's not because i loved them but because they did better for me than other brands in regard to cut and irritation levels. That said they both still irritated my skin to a fair degree and had the same clogging problems as other cartridge razors. Switched to defender a year ago and it isn't even close. Much less irritation to my skin and i couldn't clog these blades if i wanted to. It has made something i used to put off (Shaving) into something i look forward to. Defender is the best cartridge razor i have used hands down

@@Dawn13Patrol are you using the regular, sensitive or extra sensitive defender cartridges?

@@TCX-up6hs use both sensitive and extra sensitive

I like the Defender.

Here! Here! I’d have to agree any good old American made safety razor would out perform this 3rd world country produced “leaf”

👍🏽✅

Thanks! 👍🏽

....his wife and kids would loose their minds again....

B-MAN they’ll get use to it like my fam when I shaved my head and grew out my beard !

😂🍔

I don’t think so - but you never know.

I’m curious which defender cartridge you’re using? You mentioned sensitive skin so I’d imagine you’re using the sensitive or extra sensitive version? I have a defender and four of the regular cartridges in the mail currently and I think I should of chosen the sensitives maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@TCX-up6hs since I posted this i dove into traditional wet shaving and have purchased several safety razors and. Leaf Razor as well as the single edge Twig. I've found that with proper techniques, good hardware and software and practice I get great shaves with the safety razor for my face and outstanding shaves with my Leaf on my head. However, at the time I was using the Extra Sensitive carts for the Defender. I still think as far as carts go the Defender is about the best there is. Even the regular carts were good.

Thanks for watching ✅

Thanks!

Ha ha

Noted. Thanks.

It’s not as bad as I may have mentioned in this video. The founder of Leaf suggests doing an across-grain shave under the nose, which works pretty well.

@@averageguytested it’s a thing for me anyways so I’m looking for a razor that can do under the nose well.

Sucks!

@@averageguytested yes indeed it sucks

That’s what I’ve heard!

I disagree

You can move your nose - I’ll just get another razor

theMediaMart LoL 😂

@@GirlDad189 seriously how is that comfortable

You can’t dig with that thing - too flexible.

Love them both for different reasons!

@@averageguytested B.S. aside, time for you to try out the Original Sensor (not the excel)

Never gets old.
