I have been using the Mach 5 for the past few years and my dad turned me onto safety razors. From there I eventually received a twig from him. Wow! So I went to RUclips to see what others had to say. I heard about the THORN and immediately purchased 1. After just a few days of that I purchased the LEAF. The BIG DADDY of them all! I thought there could be no better razor until I went to safety razors. The cool thing about the LEAF is that you can pick your own blades. You want more aggressive? Pony up! I seldom ever cut or nic myself with any of these razors. Once you go to the leaf you won't find better. I'm sure that they make something as good. Maybe? But not better. Enjoy!🙂
Two in two days 👍 good comparison and it looks decent to use on the head. I generally do couple of passes with a DE and a clean up pass with Mach 3, doing it that way means a cartridge lasts me a couple of months. Have a good week mate 👍
My second Johanshave of the morning. The Leaf looked to work perfectly on your head (but then so did the mach 3) 😌👏 I don’t go against the grain on a head shave with any razor, the skin on my head is just way too sensitive.
Harry's is good razor. But i prefer gillette fusion proshield flexball chill or proglide flexball and mach3 turbo. Mach3 is fantastic. Fusion proglide or proshield they're superb.the best .I 've Been shaving my head 17years and i am 35years old,2-3 times a Week. I like bbs headshave.
Awesome shave my friend. The leaf looked more suited to head shaving than face shaving. I have a Mach III. An old one that vibrates. Showed it to my better half, haven’t seen it since. I think she likes it better than me.
@@Shave_n_Butcher I think it's a scam, but they say it lifts the hair and gets a closer shave... I like heavier handles so I like this feeling even if not turned on.
I tried both Leaf and Mach Fusion for a week and so far, I feel that the Fusion is a better razor. I can't get my head shaved that closely with the Leaf and it feels weird when I shave my head with this razor. However, I can get a nice close shave with the Fusion and it definitely feels like I'm shaving my head with that razor.
One thing I didn't like about the twin blade carts was how the blades will get clogged up. Looks as Leaf has more space between the blades? Great comparison man, oh and always be careful when shaving between your ears :)
Since i started using straight razors and shavettes, my Merkur 34C doesn't get much love, so i typically use that on my head. However, yesterday i had let my (remaining) hair grow for about a week, so i took it down to a manageable level with the shavette - which will not clog and then cleaned up with the Merkur. Guess which one cut me! T
Nice comparison! With the cost of cartridge refills as opposed to the upfront cost of the leaf plus the low cost of DE blades..... I’d say the lead is still cheaper in the long run. 2 refills of Fusion cartridges in Canada would be $90 CAD for 8 cartridges alone.... and realistically how long would those last doing head shaves, a few shaves per cartridge?
Shave&Butcher hah yep! I “might” be saving money now.... although I paid for the Karve and that was a costly venture... so if I don’t buy anything else, I’ll be good lol.
Nice head shave!mach3 is excellent razor for head shave.in my headshave videos I use my favourite Gillette fusion prosheild flexball chill or proglide flexball. Sometimes I use mach3 turbo. Very smooth headshave!have a great day!
Try the mach3 turbo, shave much better than the normal mach3. I use it to shave my head. I do 10 shaves.i also use the Gillette fusion prosheild flexball chill. My favourite. Make a video with the mach3 turbo? Nice head shave👍
For me mach3 turbo and Gillette fusion proshield flexball chill they are the best. My head is very smooth, super bbs.mach3 is excellent razor for the head.i prefer mach3 turbo
okay, I want to purchase the leaf but you said not much difference. The video scare hell out of me thinking I was gonna call rescue for you after losing your head. You did not a nice job breaking down cost vs cost. Thank You!
Just about anyone one here can also use a straight razor and that beats the lot. Really. Maybe a little less time trolling and playing Mortal Kombat and more time learning would save you money, and give you a sense of accomplishment. T

Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’m too ocd to stop at anything less than bbs on a headshave. I’ve considered the leaf for a while.
It compares with a cartridge, not with a DE.
Our leaf color changes in Florida just go from green to brown.
As we have agreed before, Florida has other advantages!
Two in two days 👍 good comparison and it looks decent to use on the head. I generally do couple of passes with a DE and a clean up pass with Mach 3, doing it that way means a cartridge lasts me a couple of months. Have a good week mate 👍
Do you aim for BBS on the head then?
@@Shave_n_Butcher I have a bloody good go (no pun intended) - the cartridge pass is generally against the grain 👍
Has to be a fairly new cartridge for me to go atg.

Cheers mate!
Worse than that, if you do go for a BBS on the head i find that when the hair grows back i look like a plucked chicken!
T
Trunker Dixon ... well that’s not a good luck, for a human being or a chicken 😬
If you dont want your baldness to show then you should shave against the grain
How does shaving reduce your baldness so that it no longer shows?

I love Harry’s for head shaves and they work great
Harry’s?
Harry's is good razor. But i prefer gillette fusion proshield flexball chill or proglide flexball and mach3 turbo. Mach3 is fantastic. Fusion proglide or proshield they're superb.the best .I 've Been shaving my head 17years and i am 35years old,2-3 times a Week. I like bbs headshave.
Harry’s aren’t recommended for head shaving - says so on the box!
Awesome shave my friend. The leaf looked more suited to head shaving than face shaving. I have a Mach III. An old one that vibrates. Showed it to my better half, haven’t seen it since. I think she likes it better than me.
Thanks Jim. Does she like razor more than you like the razor or does she like the razor more than she likes you?
Thanks a lot for doing this video---helpful information.
I just used the Mach3 for the first time for a head shave in one year.....it was really good....used one w a vibrating handle....fast and smooth.
What does the vibration do (no rude answers please 😉)?
@@Shave_n_Butcher I think it's a scam, but they say it lifts the hair and gets a closer shave... I like heavier handles so I like this feeling even if not turned on.
Sure sounds like a scam
I gave up using the Mach 3 on good terms. 20 years with no problems.
I tried both Leaf and Mach Fusion for a week and so far, I feel that the Fusion is a better razor. I can't get my head shaved that closely with the Leaf and it feels weird when I shave my head with this razor. However, I can get a nice close shave with the Fusion and it definitely feels like I'm shaving my head with that razor.
Thanks for your comment. 2 good head shavers. I suggest you continue trying both out and don't be surprised if your preferences change.
One thing I didn't like about the twin blade carts was how the blades will get clogged up. Looks as Leaf has more space between the blades? Great comparison man, oh and always be careful when shaving between your ears :)
Hahaha thanks for the advise.
Yes the gap between blades is good so very easy to rince off.
@@Shave_n_Butcher I didn't have any rising issues with the Leaf ... I thought it was a pretty easy going shaver.
Awesome video, we both just did a cartridge comparison, great minds think alike
Thanks Bill! I watched yours , very interesting.

I go with the grain only on the head so I get at least 20 shaves from a cartridge.
Shave&Butcher that’s pretty good! So you aren’t spending much money on them in the first place.
Sure. Saving a lot of money on shaving 😆

Thanks Matteo. Leaf is a very good alternative to cartridge razors.
@@Shave_n_Butcher what blades do you use in leaf razor? Astra is good?
Matteo Rubado: I have no clue about blades. I use the stuff that came with the razor.

Thanks Matteo. I am sticking to the Leaf for the time being.
I use the Sensor.
My favorite razor, good old mach3😎
Have you tried boldking on your head?
No have not tried the Boldking. Is it any good?
@@Shave_n_Butcher Not for face. No headshaver as you know. Probably no match to the mach3 anyway😎
Thanks. I hope I have a head-razor for life now.

hi john here leaf razor in my view is far the best razor out there
I won't argue, John
@@Shave_n_Butcher in my view for me the leaf razor is the best i have come across
Nothing well beat mach 3
