5.0 out of 5 stars HONEST REVIEW: Twig vs Thorn vs Leaf
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } First impression and TLDR headline: Get the Thorn Razor Set (different listing here on Bolo) with the base, 55 blades and used blade tin for $20 or more. These razors actually live up to the hype and are fantastic for anyone looking for a mild to medium shave.Longer version: I have tested dozens of single and double edge razors, from the Gillette Fat Boy, Slim Adjustable and Merkur 34c (all outstanding) to the modern Supply (WAY overrated) and Parker Solo-Edge (cut myself every single shave). I also spent years in the disposable world, using everything from Gillette Mach 3 to Fusion 5, Harry's and the Dorco blades that are sold as Dollar Shave Club.None of them compare to the Leaf razors. None!After trying the Thorn, Twig and Leaf Leaf (so confusing), I find the Thorn to be a clear winner.LEAF: It's really not for face shaving because the head is going to be too big to fit under the nose of most people. Bummer, because the choice of using 1, 2, or 3 blades is pretty cool ... and actually works.TWIG: It really is a mild shaver, and perfect for anyone just beginning to dabble in the world of safety razors. I have a rather thick, fast-growing beard, and the Twig shaved casual close. Great for weekends when you want to look shaved but don't mind a little stubble after a few hours. For anyone from the Gillette adjustable world, this would be about a 1 or 2 setting.THORN: Best of all worlds. The extra .2mm or blade exposure from the Twig makes a big difference. The name Thorn suggests a level of sharpness that's a big exaggerated. You're basically jumping from a mild shave to a medium shave, which equates to about a 4 on a Gillette Fat Boy or Slim Adjustable.If you demand an extremely close shave and max out your adjustable razors and can only live with Feather blades, the Thorn, Twig and Leaf are not for you.PRO TIPS: Buy quality double-edge blades and break them in half (while still in the protective paper). They're cheaper and last forever. Also, if you end up flying with any safety razor, it must be placed in checked luggage or have no blade in your carryon.For anyone just starting out in the safety razor world, you might want to consider the Twig but will probably want to graduate to the Thorn. You MUST keep in mind that as mild as these razors are, they demand a different technique. You've probably read this before, but you need to let the razor do the work, applying virtually no pressure and letting the blade glide across your skin. Go strictly with the grain at first until you get the hang of it and after a few shaves, start working against the grain until you get the technique down.Ending on the tip that I started with: Get the Thorn Razor Set (or the Twig Razor Set, if you prefer). For just $20 more, you get a matching stand, 55 blades (the standalone razor comes with just 5) and a tin container to store your used blades for recycling.
5.0 out of 5 stars Leaf Thorn, I’m more than impressed.
I ordered the Leaf Thorn and paired it with a Feather DE razor blade—it slices through my beard like a laser. The key is to let the razor do the work: don’t apply pressure, just use its natural weight. Keep the handle close to your face to achieve that baby-smooth finish. A quality shaving soap makes a big difference, and I get the best results by doing two passes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable to hold, not too aggressive, can use DE blades!
I wish I could give this thing ten stars. I love it. I'm a long time DE shaver and just wanted something a bit lighter and easier to hold. I had been looking for some time and tried a few other single blades, but you have to buy special blades and they were super heavy.I found this on accident just searching around for a few days. At first I wasn't sure of it. I went ahead and ordered it and I LOVE IT. I do not want to have to buy special blades. I have a few DE blades I love and want to use those. You can just carefully snap the DE blades in half and you get TWO blades for the price of one for this razor. Such a better deal than plastic disposables, better for the environment, and friendlier to your face. Multiple blade razors just tear your skin up.With this razor you have such a great blade selection to choose from. Don't care? Buy from them. Ready to go. Want cheap? Buy DE blades and get two for one. Want something special that works for you? (All blades seem to shave differently.) Try a few DE sample packs here, fine the ones you love, and get them. It's the only razor I know of that lets you do that. Spectactular!I'm super happy with this razor and plan to use it for a long time... if it holds up.
4.0 out of 5 stars Learning Curve
This razor surprised me with a very smooth shave. However, there is a learning curve. The razor is all metal, heavier and has a different feel than a multi-blade disposable plastic razor. At first I had several cuts. After several shaves I have had no cuts but it took some patience.Blades are easy to find in just about any grocery store. The double edged blades are inexpensive and break perfectly in half easily. I am liking this razor more every shave. And, it will save money over time.
5.0 out of 5 stars I’m not paid
I just want to clarify that I am Arab. I am naturally hairy and can grow a beard in a day. I have literally spend hundreds of dollars trying to find different razors to shave my face with and have met with disappointment in the ends. I have sensitive skin so when I shave, I get a lot of nicks. When I first tried the thorn (I got it today (20250423)) and I used the astra blades not the one that came with the box and let me tell you something… for the first time ever I have found a razor that is A) very cost effective and B) has the perfect design. The ergonomics of this razor (thorn) is damn near perfect. I didn’t need to apply pressure, and there was no pulling (compliments to the blade). I definitely would recommend this razor to anyone that has sensitive skin and grows a lot of hair.
Excellent Razor!

First, this razor is slightly less aggressive than their "Thorn" version, so people with thicker hair (ie facial hair) are likely to have less success with this one. Secondly, the joy of a safety razor is choosing your perfect blade, so those complaining about these blades should stop complaining and purchase a variety pack of blade styles from any of the hundreds of sellers and find one you like!If you take a moment to read the instructions or read anything on the internet about shaving with a safety razor, you'll learn that you should use a shaving soap or something else to help it glide nicely over your skin, and it helps a lot if you lightly exfoliate first. This razor is well weighted so it sits nicely in my hand even with the short handle. The single blade is easy to insert, easy to snap a regular blade in half (do it IN the paper wrapper) so I can use my favourite, and it's supposed to be safer not to have a sharp edge on both sides. It is easy to use, and while you don't get quite the same close shave as those 5+ blade disposable razor it's a fraction of the price over just a few months, and I cut myself far less and get less ingrown hairs.This is my second Twig razor. I damaged my first one in my luggage, and while the company has an amazing replacement policy, I also lost my receipt so I didn't bother to try to have it replaced. I figure both of those mistakes were mine, and not worth taking any stars off.
Excelente rastrillo de una sola hoja
Muy buen rastrillo de una sola hoja, el uso es intuitivo y la curva de aprendizaje es muy corta. Los mejores resultados los obtuve con navajas King C Gillette y Gillet Nacet. Muy buena opción para el afeitado húmedo.
Exelente! rastrillo de una sola navaja.
Exelente producto, si eres de los que te gustan rasurarte con rastrillos tradicionales esta es una buena opcion.
Excelente opción
Es una muy buena máquina, aunque es verdad que sí se siente agresiva
Great safe shave!
Overall experience is Safe! Love the refined simplicity of the design. Clever use of a magnet and frame to locate the blade. Smooth turns to tighten the head. Using Leaf single blades provided, the shave is very mild, you can feel the contact points on the Twig protecting your skin while you shave. For those wanting a more efficient/aggressive shave, a sharper blade would be a good idea to minimise the number of passes. The bottom heavy handle design suits the overall mild nature of the Twig contrary to the normally top heavy DE razors, almost encouraging you to apply pressure as needed.
