I recently switched to a Leaf one and love it. It's about the same as my Harry's razor, but a hell of a lot less expensive when even Costco is selling their reloads at $27. The leaf blades are way less expensive, and they aren't even proprietary.

Oh that is a BEAUTY

Every single leaf I or my wife has had broke. Very good when they worked though. I still use the twig on occasion.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Uh oh, what broke on it?

[–] CarbonBasedNPU@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The thumb screw bit.I still have one of the broken ones I can take a picture of. They did replace it without complaint the first time but just felt not worth it going forward.

Hmm, good to know. I'll be sure to not overtorque it. Thank you!

I got two of these security razors back in 2017 for less than $50 bucks altogether. Best investment ever. Then, last year I got a Philip razor but I have since just stopped shaving at home. I ask the barber from time to time

That leaf one appears to be $120 lol

But I suppose if you find yourself on the Harry's marketing train, jumping off for anything that's actually recyclable is good.

Yeah, expensive up front, but the blades are cheap. I got on the Harry's train before they got bought up and were cheap. Now, whoever bought them has been jacking up prices, which had me looking for a cheaper alternative.

Harry's also gave me plastic guilt. There is a lot of waste. :p
