    Unexpected Return to Single Blade

    I have the privilege of trying out a Twig and Thorn by Leaf Razors. I am a long-time head and face shaver. I purchased a Leaf late last year and it quickly became my go-to head shaver. The great performance of the Leaf also won my wife over from cartridge razors. I have therefore been very curious to try the Twig and Thorn. Tonight I shaved with the Twig. I achieved DFS on the face and BBS on the dome. Comfortable mild razor. Very much looking forward to giving the Thorn a run on the Saturday Morning. Luxury Shave.

    thank you Joe.to be honest none really.the balm does give a tightening feel but unsure if it's the caffeine or not.:):eatdrink047:.nice minty scent and decent post shave feel.not greasy and absorbs quickly.

    I am familiar with Leaf razors because the company sponsors my favorite youtuber, IAMCDB aka Chris Bailey. The Thorn is more efficient than the Twig. Glad the shave went well Eric.

    Shavette Shave # 158

    Razor: RenRen Shavette
    Blade: Perma-Sharp
    Brush: Shore Shave Blue Nebula w/ Paragon 25 mm Boar
    Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra Gredos (1508.5 Project)
    Aftershave: Los Jabones de Joserra Gredos
    Additional Care:
    Stirling Alum Block
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm
    Thayer’s Witch Hazel - Original

    I decided to bust our the shavette this morning. It was the first time I used a Shavette in over a month. Yes, I predominantly use straights for a majority of my shaves. This morning was a nice change of pace.

    I completed the usual three pass shave. Using a light touch, letting the ultra sharp blade do the work, I received Ann extremely choose and comfortable shave. I am getting ready to head out to take the missus to her eye doctor appointment and then to do some errands. A majority of last weeks snow is gone, however, with dropping temperatures icing may be a problem. Paul, @Paul Turner, are you prepared for another round of hefty snow? Stay safe my friend.

    I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

    Cool shave Eric. I have been aware of the Twig but not the Thorn. I am looking forward to your shave tomorrow.

    Thank you Joe. I believe I picked it up on Aliexpress. I became aware of it on one of Google + platforms. via a Jeffrey Smith video. He does post on YouTube.
