The LEAF🌱 single edge blades are made in Egypt. And they are extremely sharp & give a incredibly smooth BBS Shave. Cheers 🍸 from *On The Road* here in Bliss, Idaho
I understand about the back issues... Fell on ice 10 years ago and still get flare ups. I try to do situps and yoga everyday to manage mine. It works pretty well. Glad you are better, great shave!
Sorry to hear about your back, glad you're feeling better. Thanks for the info about Victory shaving, ordered final batch Champaign Lady because it has Ohio on the tin, being from Ohio I had to have it and night raid beard balm . I appreciate your videos, thanks for the great content.
Thanks for giving me the heads up about Victory Shaving. Sorry to hear they're going out of business. I was lucky enough to buy 4 tins that I'll be giving out as gifts or stocking stuffers at Christmas.
Ken I literally just finished shaving with my twig razor and some good ol PAA atomic bay rum. Then I get the notification for your video. Perfect timing! Feel better ken. Love your content.
I’m on my 5th straight razor shave and it’s going great! I can notice myself getting better and better each shave!!! 💪🏻😁I attempted and successfully completed the “fools pass” today. I always remember people who use straights all the time saying that their skin is always nice and they don’t get irritation from Straight Razors and I never actually believed it until I started using one. I’ve been using Shavettes on and off for about 4 years and didn’t do too many full 3-pass shaves with them. I mainly use them to shape up my beard (when I have one), or I’ll pick them up occasionally for my pick-ups. In total, I probably only had about 10 full shaves , so not enough to really get a feel for how they felt. And I always use them sporadically I never use them for like a month straight like I’m doing now with my straight razor. But yeah so far so good, not even a weeper yet!!! -Also with straight Razors the feeling and the sound is so different than what I’m used to… even different than a Shavette. It’s really loud and it feels like it’s scraping but even though it sounds like that, it doesn’t hurt at all. Got used to the noise instead of trying to be overly careful, I just go for it, of course I’m still being mindful not to cut my face up, but you know what I mean. I heard it’s worse if you overthink it, and it’s better just to commit lol 💈😁👌🏻💈 ~Mike Rose 🌹
The blades that come with all leaf razors are Astra Superior platinum, the ones from the green and white packet, made by P&G, my favorite and go to blade, nice video 👍
@@markmarks1904 It is more aggressive, so it's more efficient. It looks exactly the same, it just has a bigger blade gap and exposure. They have it on their site as the Twig-Thorn
@@markmarks1904 It feels the same as the Twig but you can feel the blade. Not at all less comfortable. I have both and only reach for the Twig when I have irritation or bumps that I don't want to irritate or cut. Thorn gives a nice closer shave.
Great shave. I hurt my upper back just days before I was supposed to get a shave. I had to get some rest and sleep with a pillow underneath my back. It didn’t affect how I was shaving in any way thankfully. Illinois has reopened, but masks are still required in most places. Have a great day
My RazoRock Beginners kits just arrived today. Man the brush makes lathering so easy. My first time using a safety razor - no complaints! I picked the “Blue Label” soap man it smells fantastic! Didn’t cut myself so I didn’t get to try the alum block. I’ve been subbed to the channel for about a month now and I’m already converted. Thanks Ken! 💈
If you're having back issues you should look into an inversion table that allows you to hang upside down at different angles which really decompresses the spine & feels good hanging just 5 minutes a day. You can find many on Amazon for $100-$150 (maybe even get a better deal on one with Prime Day coming up in a few days)
Great video as always Ken, been a while since I have posted, Robert has sent me a tin of this as well. It’s here in Canada just waiting to get it and look forward to trying it out. This being the last limited edition it will hold a special place of honour in the den next to the Kensurfs collection!!! Hope the back feels better soon and look forward to the next video….
Evening Ken. Nice shave today. The Leaf, Twig, and Thorn seemed to have taken over wet shaving market. All are good razors it’s my recommendation to those wanting something to start wet shaving. Hope your back gets better quickly. I know how bad it can feel.
Hi Ken, Several months ago I wrote a review of the twig. Saying how much i liked it, but wished it was a bit more aggressive. They offered to exchange mine for a more aggressive model. I agreed and yes its mildly more aggressive but didnt know it had a different name, now i do.. Glad your feeling better..
Great shave Ken, I came home with a sore back this evening. I hurt my back 10 years ago lifting a heavy piano down a steep stair it happened due to having someone inexperienced giving us a hand they thought it was a weight lifting competition and should have only been keeping the balance and raised the keyboard side too high. Have a great weekend. Very best regards Gordon 😊👍👌
Another great video! I got some new gear in today, myself. I got a new synthetic brush, pre-shave oil, and "Pear-Brrr" shave soap from WestCoastShaving, and my new Henson razor should arrive from Canada tomorrow. I'm going to wait until tomorrow night or Saturday and break in all of the new stuff at the same time.
I agree with you.. whatever someone else wants to do.. That's on them.. I'm sorry you went through this. I wear a mask but it was rude of them to hold you back from ordering food. Here in Florida it's optional.. And the restaurants are all understaffed so much that people just know to not give them grief.. This looks good for a split de safety razor set razor. I'm looking into getting one ..
Hey Ken ! haven't been able to see the videos in a few month because i had alot on my hands . great to see you again and i hope everything is well , looking good pal ! greetings from Austria ! - I have a few videos i can watch now ;-)
1. What perfume with a unique scent that you can recommend? 2. Which aftershave is recommended? 3. Which cream / shaving soap do you recommend? 4. Which razor blade de you can recommended?
Hi Ken- Great shave and razor review; thank you! I think a slightly more efficient version of the Twig sounds great- it seemed like a nice shave. I hope your back feels better quickly; as a 20+ year back pain sufferer, I know how difficult that can be. Take good care. Be safe and be well. Best regards, as always, Ken!
Great video Ken 👍 that soaps scent sounds quite nice. Unfortunately it had sold out when I went to check, but I did still place an order for a few tins. I look forward to trying them. Always sad to see an artisan close their “doors”.
Very nice razor. Very tempting to purchase. Yes we deal with customers who want to argue about wearing a mask. Company policy then add the Arizona 116 heat. Ha ha good times. Keep up the good work.
Hey Ken - sorry to hear about your back issues; hope you heal up soon. Thanks for the review. Sinatra Lennon said the Twig Thorn was coming and he was going to do a review on it but it looks like you beat him to it. IMO, the Leaf looks hideous and super gimmick-y but I must admit I like the look of the Twig and Thorn.
Nice shave I feel for you on the back issues. *HIGHLY RECOMMEND; Find a Chiropractor that uses the Activator method* Pinpoint precision, rather than wrapping into a pretzel.
Great shave Ken💈💈 The Leaf razor is "gimmicky" to me, but the Twig is a more approachable, less complicated razor. Too bad about the Victory soap company, not what we needed to hear. Captain's Choice North is a great scent that used to come in a cream and hard soap. It's one of my favorites and hoping the soap/cream returns. The "Thorn" version did the trick and you gotta love the burn. Enjoy!
I use to use a straight razor until I got an operation and they messed up the nerves in my hands and wrist (Head and Face) I used a bulldog Electric razor tell it conked out been using Harrys "great for the head" clogging was a bitch and the creams and gels sucks. I ran across one of your videos and thought "Why not?" I ordered some goodies, brush soap samples and a bowel. Also ordered a Thorn kit can't wait to try it face only, I will still use the Harrys on my head until they run out then Ill order a Leif.(saw some head shaves on YT with the Leif)
I think I would probably favor the original Twig. I will finally be in a position in about a month to switch from my Sensor 3 Cartridge to Twig. I have to admit to some hesitation though. I have 2 small slightly raised moles on my face. The Sensor just pivots over them. I am concerned the twig might nick me there.
Nice video again Ken. Glad to hear that your back is feeling better. Good looking razor. Which razor would you compare it to, with regards to aggression? Stay safe. 🏴👍
Thanks for the video. For you back maybe some stretching or yoga or specific muscle building exercises might be able to help. Maybe something you could look into on your own or your chiropractor might have some recommendations as well
LEAF🌱 Twig & the LEAF🌱 Twig Thörn Razörs' are *Top Shelf* Qüality Indeed. I absolütely löve these Razörs' & the LEAF🌱 ( Egyptian Made ) single edge blades. So Choice 👌🏻
well now here is THE QUESTION: If you had neither the twig or the thorn and only wished to buy one, being an average guy with medium beard WHICH ONE TO BUY!! TY sir...appreciate the content (you save me money daily...or is it cost me $$$?? lol)
You are a trooper, going ahead with this video in spite of your back problems. The Twig Thorn edition looks like an improvement over the standard Twig. I am curious how it works for you with your favored blade, such as the Wilkinson Sword. I am ambivalent about people who choose to make this kind of trouble at retail establishments. I appreciate their willingness to press the envelope; as I believe that a restauranteur has no right to require a patron to wear a medical device (a mask is a medical device) if that is not required by the City, County, or State; and it is inappropriate for a manager to expect their line workers to act as enforcers of such a dubious and arbitrary "rule". A business engaged in commerce with the general public, is not entirely at liberty to make up any rules they see fit. They are subject to specific regulations and rules. Making up arbitrary rules opens them up to litigation. The logistics do not work if the rules are different from franchise to franchise. You park you car, go to the door, and only then do you discover that this particular franchise has a mask rule; so do you go back to your car for masks (if you have them), or to you make trouble? The whole scenario is logistically problematic. This kind of trouble making is deep in the warp and weave of the American idea. We are pretty good at it. Almost as good as the French. You might as well enjoy the show, because it is going to happen. I doubt that business owners and managers will give up on this weird fixation until it becomes painful and costly for them to try to enforce it. In that sense, these trouble makers are performing a public service; even if it is a giant pain in the butt for anyone stuck in line behind them. I fully appreciate a theme park wanting to maintain a mask policy. It is nearly impossible for them to enforce social distancing throughout their entire facility. They do not want to do anything that might make them a lockdown target by the County or State. I firmly believe that there is a segment of our society that will never accept the "new normal". They will fight for a return to an open society and an open economy with every ounce of their strength. I admire that cowboy spirit. On the other hand, I haven't eaten at McDonald's in at least 20 years. The last time I did, it didn't stay down. I took that as a sign.
California's opened again! Yay! (I'm in New York!) No more 😷! However, I got an issue with these cheap restaurants (McDs, White C) not wanting to do full "indoor dining" (and zero outdoor dining!). NY is open and 100% capacity and these nimrods are trying to save a dollar ( by not bussing tables) by keeping them up!😤 As for back issues, the Teeter Table is supposed to be the best!
Does victory shaving company still exist? I looked online and can’t find them and even used the link in the description of this video and it won’t load.
@@kensurfs Oh dang I hate to hear that anyone goes out of business. I’m still new to wet shaving I just recently switched from my Gillette cartridge razor. I thought that this soap sounded like it would smell good so I wanted to buy it, another one on your channel I looked for and couldn’t find was the pink boi soap I couldn’t find that for sale either. But I really enjoy watching your videos I’ve learned a lot from your videos. I’m using leaf twig and thorn now but I’m really thinking about buying a Henson to try out. I’ve only been wet shaving for about 3 weeks now and I’m 27 years old I’ve been using cartridge razors since I was in high school.
Hi Ken, Take care of that back, it's rather foundational to everyday living! Would you please explain what "+0.18mm on span" means on the new Twig-Thorn razor? Regards from Montreal, Canada Alain
I was actually on victorys website couple days ago and actually seen that soap. Sucks they’re going out of business. I have their Limited addition “WITCHCRAFT” it’s one of those like it’s upside down and still to this day!! 🇺🇸 🗽
Thanks for a nother great video and an interesting peace od equipment. To bad the Victory soaps are shutting down, was hopeing to buy some in the future :( unfortunetly the shipping to EU is a lil costly. And if it goes for the McDonalds argument, we call them „a fight over golden shorts”. And even if you win, you just pissed every one and they are mad at you. And I saw one shop that did a smart thing. They posted a message next to the „wear a mask” sign, that goes, yes your freadom is important, but it ends there, where You sare a danger for someone else. But still…there sre still people that walk in, just to have that fude or argument :/ well, any way get better soon. Till the next shave.
Great shave Ken, if I didn’t already have a lot of razors it would definitely be on my list. Maths has never been my strong point but if I snap a blade in half does that mean it lasts two shaves instead of the regular four? Cheers Steve
So do you remember the shave from the Twig to tell if that one is different? Maybe should have shaved half your face with the original Twig and half with that one. I like my Twig. Didn't care for their blades.
Back pain sucks... Blew my c4 thru c7, tore something in the right shoulder, and a plethora of other dandy things over the last year ☹ Missed surgery by a thin hair😬
And he bloody well deserved it - what an ass-hat! (Note, locally, cops get called immediately for that type of behaviour - worker compensation board has a zero tolerance policy if it is clearly posted that masks are required - and they offer to prosecute for trespassing).
I Ken! Great shave! This Leaf Thorn Is really interesting. I've got the standard version already and I love It. You know, here in Italy the Masks thing Is a Little different. You just can not Walk in a commercial exercise without a Mask. You'll Simply be kicked off 😆 We are still a little late on vaccinations so we still gotta stay cautious. 😷
Shit happens man…I’m only 29 and more and more I see myself getting hurt over stupid shit. Like not too long ago I was walking my dog and I had my slides on and I was jogging a little bit just messing with my dog playing with him and off the bat it’s pretty awkward running in them and out of nowhere my back got all tight and it was stiff as hell for about two days I couldn’t even sleep right I was so uncomfortable 😣 😅 🤷🏼♂️ 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ 💥
I had accident the other day with my Twig. Loaded the blade but did not notice it not being aligned on both of the little hooks, so one end stuck out and I ended up with huge deep cut/rift (Feather blade indeed) in my one temple. Note to self: always wear glasses when loading the Twig. 🥸
The LEAF🌱 single edge blades are made in Egypt. And they are extremely sharp & give a incredibly smooth BBS Shave. Cheers 🍸 from *On The Road* here in Bliss, Idaho

That razor is a work of art. Definitely want to try that one.
Great shave, Leaf is making great razors and the Thorn is a great razor that I'm always reaching for.
HI there. I had tried the original twig and it was not efficient enough for my thcker growth. Is this better? Thanks!
@@markmarks1904 It is more aggressive, so it's more efficient. It looks exactly the same, it just has a bigger blade gap and exposure. They have it on their site as the Twig-Thorn
@@mikeperritte Thanks! So in your opinion and experience, it's more aggressive. Does that translate, for you, into less comfort? Thanks again.

Ken purchased the Twig razor in gold and I absolutely love it! I get a great shave!
Nice shave Ken hope your back feels better soon brother. That TWIG Thorn looks awesome.
Love the video Ken. Also the way that the head on the Twig raises and turns is very cool indeed. Feel better with the back pain
A very unusual shaving soap color. And it's good that it works great. Thank you so much.
I am thinking about getting it. That’s why I wanted to watch this video!
👍👍
Great shave. I hurt my upper back just days before I was supposed to get a shave. I had to get some rest and sleep with a pillow underneath my back. It didn’t affect how I was shaving in any way thankfully. Illinois has reopened, but masks are still required in most places. Have a great day

Those Twigs are cool looking razors. Good shave.

Great shave Ken, I came home with a sore back this evening. I hurt my back 10 years ago lifting a heavy piano down a steep stair it happened due to having someone inexperienced giving us a hand they thought it was a weight lifting competition and should have only been keeping the balance and raised the keyboard side too high.
Have a great weekend.
Very best regards Gordon 😊👍👌
Hope your back feels better Ken, enjoy your weekend. 👍🏼
Another great video! I got some new gear in today, myself. I got a new synthetic brush, pre-shave oil, and "Pear-Brrr" shave soap from WestCoastShaving, and my new Henson razor should arrive from Canada tomorrow. I'm going to wait until tomorrow night or Saturday and break in all of the new stuff at the same time.
I agree with you.. whatever someone else wants to do..
That's on them..
I'm sorry you went through this.
I wear a mask but it was rude of them to hold you back from ordering food.
Here in Florida it's optional..
And the restaurants are all understaffed so much that people just know to not give them grief..
This looks good for a split de safety razor set razor.
I'm looking into getting one ..
Hey Ken ! haven't been able to see the videos in a few month because i had alot on my hands . great to see you again and i hope everything is well , looking good pal ! greetings from Austria ! - I have a few videos i can watch now ;-)
Great review ! As always. 👍🏻
The opening and locking looks like a spaceship from a sci-fi movie. 👌👍
Be careful with your back Ken.
Take care 🙏 💈🪒
1. What perfume with a unique scent that you can recommend?
2. Which aftershave is recommended? 3. Which cream / shaving soap do you recommend?
4. Which razor blade de you can recommended?
Lisa I always enjoy hearing your different stories each week, which makes your shaving channel stands out infront of all the others. Take care.
Great review !
Glad you enjoyed it👍💈💈

Great shave Ken 👍👍😎👏👏🇦🇷
Great video Ken! Praying for you !✝️. Have a pain free week! (VLS)
Very nice razor. Very tempting to purchase. Yes we deal with customers who want to argue about wearing a mask. Company policy then add the Arizona 116 heat. Ha ha good times.
Keep up the good work.

shame that victory soap isn't available in the uk :/,good video,will keep my eye on the leaf razor (currently use the edwin jagger razor)
Sweet looking razor!!!
Nice shave
I feel for you on the back issues.
*HIGHLY RECOMMEND; Find a Chiropractor that uses the Activator method* Pinpoint precision, rather than wrapping into a pretzel.
Great shave Ken. I know how much it sucks when you throw your back out. It happens to me too. Also not a fan of the chiropractor.

Hi Ken a bit thin on the soap need to whip that up
Does the Twig Thorn cost more than the other Twig? I didn't see the thorn on their website
they cost the same! And it's an off menu item at the moment, he linked to it in the vide notes though! leafshave.com/products/the-twig-thorn-razor
Great shave💈 it’s a HIPPA federal violation to ask about you medical history… f’em and the mouse
I think I would probably favor the original Twig. I will finally be in a position in about a month to switch from my Sensor 3 Cartridge to Twig. I have to admit to some hesitation though. I have 2 small slightly raised moles on my face. The Sensor just pivots over them. I am concerned the twig might nick me there.
It's just like a gem razor, but with a shorter blade
I just got that soap Rose and cherry Blossom my daughter just took it from me it very good smell
The TWIG is nice . this edit though i dont know . Great video and shave. stay safe, cheers...Peter
Nice video again Ken. Glad to hear that your back is feeling better. Good looking razor. Which razor would you compare it to, with regards to aggression? Stay safe. 🏴👍
Thanks for the video. For you back maybe some stretching or yoga or specific muscle building exercises might be able to help. Maybe something you could look into on your own or your chiropractor might have some recommendations as well
Compared to merkur 34, how it's the aggressiveness? Thanks
LEAF🌱 Twig & the LEAF🌱 Twig Thörn Razörs' are *Top Shelf* Qüality Indeed. I absolütely löve these Razörs' & the LEAF🌱 ( Egyptian Made ) single edge blades. So Choice 👌🏻
Motorbike accident 9 years ago and my back has never been right since.
well now here is THE QUESTION:

Is this the copper or rose gold?

Would you please explain what "+0.18mm on span" means on the new Twig-Thorn razor?

Is this better than/ more efficient than the original twig? Thanks!
I got the regular one. Do you think the twig is necessary if i got the regular one knowing that I can put a feather blade inside it...
I was actually on victorys website couple days ago and actually seen that soap. Sucks they’re going out of business. I have their Limited addition “WITCHCRAFT” it’s one of those like it’s upside down and still to this day!! 🇺🇸 🗽
I just got my thorn razor (it's awesome),,,thanks for the review Ken....your videos are great!!!!
Great shave Ken, you should have given the guy a Glasgow kiss, it's just wrong coming between a man and his food lol 😂 😂 have a great day buddy 👍
Thanks for a nother great video and an interesting peace od equipment. To bad the Victory soaps are shutting down, was hopeing to buy some in the future :( unfortunetly the shipping to EU is a lil costly. And if it goes for the McDonalds argument, we call them „a fight over golden shorts”. And even if you win, you just pissed every one and they are mad at you. And I saw one shop that did a smart thing. They posted a message next to the „wear a mask” sign, that goes, yes your freadom is important, but it ends there, where You sare a danger for someone else. But still…there sre still people that walk in, just to have that fude or argument :/ well, any way get better soon. Till the next shave.
Great shave Ken, if I didn’t already have a lot of razors it would definitely be on my list.
Maths has never been my strong point but if I snap a blade in half does that mean it lasts two shaves instead of the regular four?
Cheers
Steve
It lasts for 8 shaves instead of 4!😁
So do you remember the shave from the Twig to tell if that one is different? Maybe should have shaved half your face with the original Twig and half with that one. I like my Twig. Didn't care for their blades.
Check out Athlean-X, How to fix lower back pain video.
It worked wonders for me!
Did you notice the Thorn has a little magnet on the base plate to help hold the blade when you put it on? Pretty neat!
Hey *Steve Grobe* if you see this thx for PIF’ing me the TWIG!!!! Lol 💈😁🤙🏻💈
you shall give away this ..
Back pain sucks... Blew my c4 thru c7, tore something in the right shoulder, and a plethora of other dandy things over the last year ☹ Missed surgery by a thin hair😬

If a restaurant "gave in" during an argument my guess is they "gave" that guy more than the typical ingredients on his order lol
Lol I bet you are right👍👍
And he bloody well deserved it - what an ass-hat! (Note, locally, cops get called immediately for that type of behaviour - worker compensation board has a zero tolerance policy if it is clearly posted that masks are required - and they offer to prosecute for trespassing).
Well how did you like the "twig"? You talked about the blade the whole time !
I Ken! Great shave! This Leaf Thorn Is really interesting. I've got the standard version already and I love It. You know, here in Italy the Masks thing Is a Little different. You just can not Walk in a commercial exercise without a Mask. You'll Simply be kicked off 😆 We are still a little late on vaccinations so we still gotta stay cautious. 😷
Thanks for showing-off the more aggressive "Thorn". I'd rather go for the regular, mild Twig.
Regards, Patrick
Next shaving video can you wear a cowboy hat
My back has a tendency to screw up while sleeping but ibuprofen 200 mg clears it up.
Shit happens man…I’m only 29 and more and more I see myself getting hurt over stupid shit.
Like not too long ago I was walking my dog and I had my slides on and I was jogging a little bit just messing with my dog playing with him and off the bat it’s pretty awkward running in them and out of nowhere my back got all tight and it was stiff as hell for about two days I couldn’t even sleep right I was so uncomfortable 😣 😅 🤷🏼♂️ 🐕 🏃🏻♂️ 💥
You need to make a mask with a fake beard in it
Put it on in store Then just take off the mask and bam your clean shavin.
It's sad 😥 I can't find a channel that just leaves out political stuff. Let's just talk about shaving not politics.
I had accident the other day with my Twig. Loaded the blade but did not notice it not being aligned on both of the little hooks, so one end stuck out and I ended up with huge deep cut/rift (Feather blade indeed) in my one temple. Note to self: always wear glasses when loading the Twig. 🥸
