I googled it and it said most pharmacies can supply you with a tiny container free of charge to deposit your blades and then when it's full, duct tape the slot and give it back to them. That's cool!
Oh! So good to know!!! Thank you for sharing with us all! 💛
yes, however from my understanding this is a sharps bin, they won't be recycles just disposed of in a way that prevents harm to other people.
I bought my first safety razor almost 4 years ago for $25 and paid $6 for a 100 pack of blades. It has worked so well for me and I have saved SO much money! I won't have to buy more blades for years and years 😅 Can't believe I used to buy refill blade packs for $20 every other month.
What’s the brand and where can I get it???
How long does a blade last? New to this. Wanna get for hubby too
@@iyabomarvel8506 1 double edge blade is good for 6 shaves.
...and another tip for the newbie safety razor user... don’t buy a huge pack of blades. It takes fooooreeeeevvvver to get through. Start small until you know you’re gonna love the safety razor.
So true!!! 💛
I bought 10 blades when I bought my safety razor, four years ago and I still have 5 left. Side note I rarely shave so that’s probs why
Tryablade and Razorbladesclub offer pre-made sampler packs based on differing criteria. One can also make their own sampler pack by choosing as many of the blades they offer. Currently Tryablade offer 92 double-edge razor blades and Razorbladesclub offer 113 different double-edge razor blades. In addition to any beginner samplers, two blades worth considering are Gillette 'Nacet' and Treet 'Platinum'.
Yup 10 blade pack is more than enough as it runs 6 to 7 months as I use it 3 times so yeah
Another thing I forgot to mention is that it took me quite a while to get used to the spring in the pivoting head of the Leaf razor (coming from the butterfly). Because the metal is obviously heavier than plastic pivoting heads (if you're switching from a 'normal' plastic razor), it's got a heavy spring to it. I didn't enjoy that when I first started using it, I'm more used it now though! So keep an eye out for that if you choose to pick one up :)
I bought the silicone grip sleeve for my Leaf, and it makes a huge difference.
I have tried safety razors, but with rheumatoid disease - it was disastrous! Therefore, I so appreciate your acknowledgement that they don't suit everyone. I love trying everything that makes a difference, but I can't do this one. You are very supportive and inclusive. Thank you.
That's really cool that you tried to make that switch despite not being sure if it would work for you. There are soo many other easy bathroom / vanity switches out there that you can try instead :)
Why didn’t it work for you, if you don’t mind me asking? I want to get one but also have Rheumatoid A.
@@mrmrsgamer6263 I wasn’t able to use it with the dexterity they seem to require - they are heavy compared to plastic and not forgiving if the angle isn’t quite right.
@@wolverinehoff9789 Feather Popular might be the safety razor that you need. It's not heavy and not super aggressive.
Henson is a very light razor
Totally agree about handle length. It’s an important factor! Also, if you enjoy Altoids or will actually use the mints, the metal package is perfect o store used blades!
So true! ....and dare I say kind of a cute little container? Up-cycled and so cute! Win win hehe 💛
Your videos introduced me to safety razors and now my partner! Such a money saver and more convenient, I love it. Thank you!
I kept cutting myself with a 'regular' safety razor. I agree they're a closer shave, but my Leaf razor usually doesn't injure me. It is more annoying to clean. But if I had to only have one it would be Leaf.
SAME! Love my Leaf but respect that its not for everyone
I shaved my head with the Leaf and I loved it!!!
So helpful! Thank you fo sharing! 💛💛💛
2 videos, one day?? What have we done to deserve this?
hehehe 😊 Thank you for watching them! Big hugs! xo
Just finished watching your last video as you posted this one! Love your content, you're the only low waste youtuber I watch cause everyone else is intimidating 😂😊💕
Thank you! Sending big big hugs!! And happy weekend!! xo
Happened to come across a butterfly safety razor at my local dollar store. A year later, there's minimal rust and it still works just as great as day one. Blades are stupid cheap, it's easy to clean, and now that I know how to use it I don't cut myself often (the common place I do is by the ankles so I'm just extra careful then). For anyone considering making the switch, I highly recommend safety razors.
My girlfriend has been using a safety razor for over a year now and I just bought one for myself after getting fed up with crappy little plastic razors, so I'm excited to try it out :)
also, once i got a silicone grip sleeve for the leaf razor it was like night and day 🥰 love it so so much
I totally think I need to try this! I didn't know they had it until I was filming this. Sounds like such a game changer. Happy to hear you love yours! xo 💛
Love seeing reviews like this! It's such a personal choice so it's great to see someone go into great detail so people spend their dollars right. 🙌
Just found your channel while I was researching buying my first safety razor! You seem so relatable, like an old friend. You’re gorgeous. Thanks for your videos!
I needed this! ❤️ I got a safety razor two weeks ago and I’m still working on getting more confident with it. I don’t know why I’m so skiddish about it haha. Thank youuuu!!!!
And that's totally okay! I did the same thing! It sat there for a long time before I was ready to try. I did the same with my menstrual cup too! Totally okay to take your time to approach them :)
I’m swapping plastic stuff but I get lost at the disposal part. I’ve done shampoo and toothbrush/paste/floss. Also dishwasher tabs, hand soap and laundry detergent. My next swap will be kitchen plastic wrap. You helped me get started so a million thanks 😊 💕💕
Have you tried the bee wrap? It's a great alternative.
I love my safety razor! However I just hardly ever shave especially in the winter! At my local Zero Waste store they sold Albatross and it was not cheap. But then my birthday came around and that's what I bought from my grandparents!
Leaf seems like a great company, but I don't have experience using one of their razors because the steep price point put me off--$80?! I use an Albatross Butterfly Safety razor and it's way cheaper and works great--only $30 and comes with 10 blades.
After watching this I’ve decided to forego getting the $60 Leaf Twig & went to Target online and bought the long handle Van Der Hagen! $20!!!!! Way cheaper. Thanks for the video.
I really love my leaf razor. I got my boyfriend onto safety razors years ago but wanted something more familiar for myself. Leaf was exactly what I was looking for. I do have to use less pressure than a plastic razor but the shave is close and it’s a great investment. As far as the safety of cleaning it, there are magnets to hold the blades in place so I’ve never had mine fall out. Either way they are both great sustainable options
I’m one of those people who just can’t use a safety razor (I got myself WAY too much) so for the past 2 years, I’ve been shipping my used razor heads to terracycle’s gillette razor recycling program! using a safety razor is of course ideal, but it’s nice to know there are eco friendly alternatives to people who aren’t great at using them.
One of your previous videos actually convinced me to switch from my schick intuition to a safety razor and omg I'm so glad I did bc its so much easier to work with, I get a much closer shave, and the blades are *WAY* cheaper than the replaceable heads. I'm still getting the hang of it in some parts (like at my ankle), but I really like it and am glad you recommended them to me!
I find that taking the time sitting in the bath (obvs not full, just not busy with showering!) is a good way to get familiar with the safety razor! Hair grows in so many directions so you can really be gentle and take your time, pulling the skin if it needs.
I have definitely only cut myself once and that was on the top of my foot - wouldn't have happened if I wasn't just bashing through it in the shower haha. It's tricky and I don't trust myself *everywhere* yet but it's so worth it
I have a 3 piece razor and the shorten handle was weird to me at first but I got used to it very fast. I really like the close shave, how you can use different blades without having to buy a whole new system like you would switching brands between Gillette and something else. It also has given me fewer issues with sensitive areas and is overall just easier. I think the switch was well worth it, and the price for new blades is definitely a bonus. They are so cheap!
I have a jungle culture razor - it's pink, was relatively cheap and the company is part of 1% for the planet! I also have a feather blade disposal tin that I find really helpful
I bought a safety razor a few years ago and I do still use it for those "left it to grow for too long and now it's a forest" areas. But I ended up going back to dollar shave club for my legs and pits because I was cutting myself every time I shaved. I really want to cut that waste out which is why I've been interested in leaf but it's also SUPER expensive. idk, maybe I should try working with the safety razor again before investing in a $100 razor that I might not even like. Meanwhile I have enough DSC heads to last another year (I reduced the frequency of the subscription when I realized how many I had.)
I waiting until Black Friday to get mine. Also just get the razor, no need for the bundle with the stand and blade disposal thing. You can use any container to store old blades and ship it back. I got lucky there’s a store by me that recycles old blades too. Something to look into when Black Friday rolls around this year
I got the rockwell and the 1 plate is really gentle. Now I can use the other plates once I got more comfortable
I've had my Leaf Razor for close to two years now and have used it with the silicone sleeve for half a year now. The products are great. Because the LR is designed for a mild shave and sometimes I want something sharper, I recently purchased the Leaf Thorn Razor (a more aggressive cut than the Leaf Twig Razor), which is a safety razor that only uses a SE blade. I love this design because I don't understand the rationale of the traditional DE blade safety razor. When an edge isn't being used, I prefer having a 0% risk of cutting myself on that edge.
Anyway, I appreciate the detailed breakdown!
I’m so happy I switched to safety razors! Such a better shave than plastic. I have the VikingsBlade Godfather safety razor from Amazon and I’ve never cut myself and I shave everything. (I know Amazon isn’t the best but I needed affordable/accessible). was worried the non pivoting head would be challenging but it wasn’t a big deal for me. I use Astra blades. I’m curious about trying the Twig model from Leaf Shave for intimate areas though as the head can be a tight squeeze at times. But it does work just fine; it just takes a bit more time than plastic used to. My legs take just the same amount if time. That’s my recommendation if anyone cares lol! I keep my used razors in Altoids tins until I can recycle them. I was sure Id end up buying the Leaf but I don’t find it necessary for myself.
So glad I got the rockwell with the different plates. It practically shaves on it's own
I did really like the safety razor at first but it did take me too long and I would never shave. But yes it’s so much easier to clean for the things you mentioned! I do love the leaf because it’s so effortless and I don’t have to worry (also got 30% off) will need that grip though. I found that everyone that loves the OG safety razor don’t love the leaf at least from what I saw on yt
Uh!! I still remember your first video about safety razors when you were scared of using it. I was about to buy one by that time and you helped me a lot XD
Does your Leaf not have magnets? I noticed mine has magnets and the blades get in place and stay in place really well.
Thanks for this video! I had got a standard 3 piece safety razor with safety bar shortly before Leaf got popular and was worrying that I was missing out. I thought maybe Leaf was a closer/smoother shave but if it’s about the same then great. Mine came with a few different settings that I’ve yet to play around with.
I have a Lady Gillette safety razor from the 1960’s and I love it! I bought it off eBay for about $30
This is such a helpful and thorough video! You are great at observing and explaining the small stuff that we all experience with products we love/hate but can't always verbalize. I've been looking into both these options because I'm (finally!) almost done with my last disposable plastic head from a bulk pack I bought years ago. Now next time I shave I'll pay extra attention to my handle length/grip, how much I rinse the blades, and the angle I'm most comfortable shaving at...then I'll have my answer of which style will be best for me :)
I was terrifieddddd of a safety razor before I bought mine. I also self-identify as a klutz and was really worried about cutting myself. Granted, I've only shaved once with it but I LOVE it so far. I didn't cut myself at all and it was pretty intuitive to use. It took longer because I was going slow, so that's the only drawback so far. I too was sort of intimidated by all the options and ended up going with the Twig from the Leaf company (not affiliated in any way, just a random commenter). The Twig has a sort of twist handle that makes the top part of the head rise up so you can slide the blade in. (Really glad I didn't go with the original Leaf now, because I'm 110% sure I would cut my fingers on that.) I've heard that safety razors are also gentler on the skin/cause fewer ingrown hairs, so I'm really hoping it lives up to that promise in the future.
I use the smaller leef razor and LOVE it better than the old three blade leef razor. I cut myself less and super easy to clean. And they provide paying over time.
My old Gillette razor has reached the end of its life so I just ordered a butterfly safety razor. Excited but nervous to finally start using one!
Idk how many times I’ve watched this and I still haven’t gotten a reusable bc it still freaks me out. Can you do an update video on this?
One of the best videos on safety razors I have seen so far!!
I had trouble traveling with my razor once and it was a bit annoying since it took some time for them to find the razor in my bag and I had to put everything out.. I think this does not happen with a "normal" razor. So I would not really recommend traveling with the blade inside and since I think you can not buy one blade you maybe have trouble going back with the new bought package as well if you do not give it away. But this was just my expirience :) beside that I love it too
This is perfect timing ! I’m using my last disposable razor from a value pack I was given and I’m ready to make the switch ! 😄
I switched to a safety razor in high school, well before I learned about eco stuff, because Id cut myself while shaving and my brother cleaned his got me a new feather blade and had me try it out cause sharper blade = less cuts. I will say I like feather brand best, but even the less sharp blades cut me less cause still sharper then the razors I was buying before, but it's also been almost 10 years now so
First off I am a CIS Male but I have a nonbinary AFAB partner that I helped with switching to DE. I assume this is an inclusive community.
I have experience with Twist Top Off or Butterfly razors but I started with 3 piece razors which are the best travel razors imo. Two peice is like 3 piece except the handle and bottom of head is attached.
So I started DE razor shaving about 8 years ago due to shaving irritation I had from my jobs that required me to shave every other day or everyday. I had a close friend years ago, now currently my spouse, ask me about my shaving routine due to them noticing my face clearing up and in general I had less oil and razor bumps.
In time, I taught them how to use a DE on legs and underarms initially and gifted them their own long handled Butterfly razor. Years later we still use them and it has been cheaper overall. For both of us I spend maybe $30 a year after the initial upfront cost. However, I will state upfront cost for DE razors can be intimidating but worse case scenario I was able to find a DE Razor that was usable at $1 but average is $25-50 for a razor that will last at least 10 years, and 1000 blades can last about 3-10 years and cost anywhere between 3-15 cents a shave depending on how often you use.
i really needed this comparison type video. i find shaving a challenge to begin with because i have thicker hair and my legs are extremely dry and prone to razor burn not matter the routine of razor shaving cream/soap, exfoliating, moisturizer, etc. i tried leaf first because i was nervous to jump straight to a butterfly type safety razor. leaf didnt work for me but i'm not sure it was a me issue not getting over the hump of getting used to the razor or the product just didnt work for me. so i went back to disposable ones for the time being with the intention to try a safety razor again and this video was helpful as i had no idea what i should be looking for when it comes to safety razors.
I love my rockwell rose gold razor. Never cuts me and it's super durable
Unrelated but I wanted to share that I’ve been trying out the Tree Naturals conditioner bar, and it’s honestly the best bar conditioner I’ve ever tried (it’s easier to use than the BarNone conditioner, which was my previous favorite. I believe it’s also a small, black-owned business! I have long, super dry and wavy/curly hair. It works AMAZINGLY well for me 🥰
Just a note, the tree naturals one isn't vegan, which Christy and many of us are. Other than that it looks cool though!
I bought a butterfly razor (basic metal wilkinson for 8€) like 2 months ago bc the leaf one was a bit too expensive for me. Shaved maybe 4 or 5 times and only cut myself once so im pretty happy with it (i dont shave too often bc i dont see the need, this might change in summer though ^^’)
Im really glad i switched and maybe some day i will invest in a leaf razor.
Made the switch when I had to buy a new one! dm had their brand one available for only 5€ so I figured why not. Used it a couple of times and I'm thoroughly pleased w the result, even though I had to go slower
I was wondering if those were any good since they're so cheap compared to others! Do you still like yours?
@@sosos4306 Yes actually! What really makes the razor effective is the blade anyway, and safety razor blades are super cheap
I am glad you and a couple other people have made videos on using safety razors... I have one, and I like it, but it has been very different from what I was used to. I actually cut myself pretty good several times with it because the weight of it was much heavier than the plastic Venus razor I was used to. And although it had a decent grip it slipped out of my hands a few times. Unfortunately, I didn't see this video prior to using my razor.
Been thinking about switching for a while! This video is giving me the final push to move past my fear of safety razors! Really great video!
I would recommend the rockwell razor
No matter how I use it, I always cut myself in the bikini region! I never cut myself anywhere else but will end up my multiple cuts there. They were never big painful cuts but I would always get so many! I've stopped using it because it was just too much of a hassle! Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong!
Maybe get your bikini area sugared if you like that option?
Great Review!
I used a 2 piece safety razor for a little more than a year before I tried the twig (safety leaf razor). It took about 2 uses to adjust but overall I love it so much more! It has been easier to clean, I have not accidentally nicked myself after the adjustment period unlike the 2 piece one I used to use, It has a nice weight to it and its handle has a cone shape to it that has been amazing. They have a great warranty/return policy too so I was not too stressed about not liking it.
I bought the leaf version for my mother and have tried it too. For me, it's a great way for people to get interested in a more sustainable/cheaper than plastic razor option without giving up the mindless ease of use. Thanks for the update!
I've ordered safety razor and yesterday was my first shave. I was going sooooo slowly, because I was sooo scared to cut myself XD But I think I got it, it's nice swap I like it.
I've been using a safety razor, 3 piece, for a year now, and so far I've only ever cut myself twice, and both while changing into a new blade because I'm not careful enough!
This was a super informative video. Watched all the way through, even though I almost never shave 🤣
I'm so glad it was helpful to ya! 💛
I absolutely love your channel and excited for this new chapter for you! Does your SO use a safety razor and if so what works best for the face?
My husband tried one but didn't work for him:/
Thank you! I'm sorry he didn't love the one he tried! Finding the right tool can be such a challenge sometimes 🙈 My partner uses the butterfly razor I showed in the video (it was mine, and I was trying to convince him to switch so he took it off my hands and I invested in the Leaf for myself) and he loves it! He's also used the Leaf but prefers the butterfly one. And he uses argan oil as shave cream (though he doesn't 100% love that and is looking for a better option himself). I do know there are lots and lots of "male focused" blogs and forums that talk about safety razors that might be more helpful than I, because I haven't tried it on my face myself. I had stumbled into them when I was researching my first razor years ago and found they were very helpful. I I hope that helps somehow! xo
@@SedonaChristina Thank you so much for the information! My husband hasn't tried it yet but Dirty Hippie Cosmetics has a shaving cream they sell. Thank you again for the amazing, realistic content and being an inspiration! :) have a great day!
Would you consider laser hair removal to be sustainable?
While I've never done it, I would think so, yeah! I've been thinking about trying out an at-home laser thingy, because it seems more cost effective and less intimidating. But it's all about how you define your sustainability path 💛 I'd personally say there's no wrong answer in this scenario. Hope that helps! xo
I think I first discovered you through your other safety razor video a couple of years ago! 😁
The Twig is great as well only ½ a blade no Pivoting head though you can also get the thorn ti more aggressive version of the twig
Can you use regular shampoo or conditioner instead of a shave bar?
I regret not getting a butterfly style! I love my safety razor but as someone with shaky hands it’s a task to rinse out the blade esp when in the shower.
I like to fill a cup with warm water to rinse the blade
Something to note for all the ladies that might be interested in getting a safety razor: Pretty much all of the safety razors specifically marketed to women are rebranded private label manufactured razors, so chances are you can find the exact same razor for a lot cheaper if you're okay with it not having pastel coloured paint on it. (Look at Weishi, Baili, DS Cosmetics etc.)
Most razors are also cast from Zamak (zinc-copper alloy) that has been chrome plated. It's a decent material and will last long if you look after it, but it can fracture or chip if dropped or knocked, since cast metals are brittle like glass.
The most common breakage you'll see is the top cap's threaded post shearing clean off/having it stay behind in the handle's threads after being dropped from standing height or mishandled during shipping. Due to being cast, they can't be repaired in any way. You could replate a razor after having lost its chrome, though.
In my opinion, the most underrated (and mostly unknown to women wanting to get into using a safety razor) product range out there would be Razorock's line of 100% stainless steel safety razors. (Sold on their ItalianBarber website) They cost only slightly more (around $60 to $70) than most of the razors made of Zamak and they have none of their weaknesses. Definitely the best value for money in the wet shaving market. If you already have a razor, don't sweat it, but if you're still looking to buy one, be sure to check them out. You'd like their "super knurl" handle.
Also, one piece of advice: Wet shave. Canned foam is "dry" and filled with air that makes the experience uneven and its application doesn't prep your hair. Get some sort of brush and a shaving soap that actually lathers well. If you want vegan, PAA's CK6 formula is explosive and synthetic/horse hair brushes don't involve utilizing something from dead animals.
I wonder if you can wrap an elastic band around the handle of the leaf razor and that could provide some grip?
Were those modeling photos from America's Next Top Model lol
Your description video link "My first time using a SR" is now marked private.
This was very, very, very useful. Thank you.
So they’re razors that get wet a lot and they rust? They’re not stainless steel? 🤔🤷🏻♀️
Same question
Mine has never rusted even though i leave it in the shower, but mine was pricier (50$)
Stainless steel still rusts, especially if it's constantly kept in a wet environment. I purposefully bought a razor that came in a little case to avoid this, there's loads of options
This was super helpful thanks!
If you ever do get a bad amount of corrosion on your safety razor, Razor Emporium offers revamping/replating services that look quite nice.
Im new to this. Once you use it and clean it do you leave inside the razor? I tried today for first time and after sharing, I opened it, took out the razor, washed it and then I didnt put it back on the safety razor i save it apart...
Would you recommend this razor for someone who has keratosis pilaris? I have the skin condition and I don’t know if it will do any harm at all?
I’m probably about to move out of state and have never lived anywhere else before. Where I CURRENTLY live (Florida), I have a hard time finding sustainable products and don’t like to order online. Are there any areas you know of that are very green friendly that you would recommend to maybe move to?
I would love to use a reusable razor, but in Poland there are no sharp razor blades packed in paper. The sharp one are packed only in plastic. At least I have such experience. So I went back to disposables ... :(
I would 100% buy the Leaf due to the pivoting head, but I wish they had their own take back recycling program for the blades where they get recycled, like how Albatross takes their blades back for travel cutlery. My local recycling program will take them when packaged & labeled properly - then they send them to a different facility to be sterilized and "disposed". Didn't say "recycled" :
My understanding is that they do take them back. They have it in their FAQs the address to send the blades back to. They sell a tin, but also say they will accept blades that are put in any durable tin.
Great review, tanks 👍
I'm uneasy at how carefree you are about throwing those razors around 😅
I have a water softener. How would it react with the salt?
Thank you so much for sharing! I have strawberry skin and unfortunately all my skin can tolerate is an electric epilator. Wish I could shave.
I tried a very cheap one and every time I try to use it, l get a rash and skin irritation. Now l have something else l don't know what to do with. Maybe it's just practice, but l don't think so. I'm not sure how anyone can use that without getting razor bumps. It's awful.
Any tips for shaving the crack lol 🤣
I dunno if German safety razor companies are somewhat different or whatever but I've been using a safety razor for quite a while now and I have cut myself once (and that was because I was stupid and had conditioner on my hands and it slipped.... 😂)
Which one did you buy and where did you get it?
Hello, Sedona Christina, I found an interesting product, a very useful little product.
What's considered a long handle on a razor?
To Reduce the slipperyness of your razor handle, get your self an alum block. When you find the handle be coming slippery, rub your fingers on the alum block you will find the handle not slippery.
I once thought about buying a straight razor. Although it not that large, there is a collection of women who are using the straight razor. Straight razors are super eco-friendly, there really isn't any waste involved, depending on the type of straight razor and how it's used. I know that straight razor were common for women back in the early 1900's, but then the saftey razor came along. How do straight razor women get the back of their calves? There's something I find really attractive about men who use straight razors, even though in my culture men don't shave. Women do (some) men don't, my people just love bears. Lol Part of me wants to try the straight razor, but I'm afraid my legs will end up looking like Sally's from Nightmare Before Christmas.
Nice video. Lol to the censoring the comments of who commented. I've never seen that before. Usually people want to be featured, and they commented in the first place, but okay.
The beeps before and after the ads scare my cat every time :(
My stepdad uses a disposable gillete to shave his head. Would a regular one work well or more of a leaf type? Can anyone like a guy answer this?
Another commenter mentioned using the leaf for head shaving. That commenter said leaf works wonderfully, but did not compare it to the safety razor, probably due to not having used a safety razor for that purpose before.
If you can get a razor with different plates then it would work. The head hair is kind different then face hair
The three piece razors come completely apart allowing an easy cleaning.
when you have a flexible, spring loaded head...you're going to push into yourself. You dont need any real pressure to shave, and you dont need to activate some springamajig for a close shave. that leaf thing to me is nothing more than a gimmick. Its like if a real DE razor and a cartridge razor had an ugly baby.
I'm so scared to shave my bikini and backdoor 😭
I wish people would make more clean to the point videos... There is so much time wasting blah blah. Thank got for the forwarding feature, but thank you for the video ❤️ #constructive
