Given their use-case that’s a good thing: Sponsored Links My shaves with the prototype razor have been somewhat mild–perhaps at the high end of what I consider mild or the low end of what I consider middle-of-the-road. Leaf angled the Twig’s head at 30 degrees for a more natural grip (similar to other single edge razors. The mid-handle and bottom fins are cut deep into the mold for a confident grip in-hand.” The Shave A thicker bottom fits perfectly in your palm - while also providing additional grip surface area when reaching to far-away places. The thinner neck allows your fingers to close for precision and control up top. “So we offer a unique handle design for The Twig with tapered ergonomics. “One thing we know about handle design is that no two people are the same! We had folks that loved a thinner handle and folks that yearned for a thicker handle. The handle is a bit goofy-looking to me but after having used it I can see where they’re coming from: Now, this wasn’t a part of the prototype I tried but I think it’s a fantastic idea! A DE blade snapped in half can be a challenge for the fumble-fingerd (like me) and when combined with their unique blade-loading mechanism could make handling blades a non-issue. “The Twig has notches that mate with the sides of your blade, and a magnetic plate at the bottom helps hold the blade in place when loading and un-loading the blade.” It’s so easy to access the blade anytime you need to load it, swap it or clean it.”įull disclosure: I was one of the testers for the prototype design of this razor, so I’ve actually seen what they’re up to…and it’s really interesting. Feedback from our testers led us to this final design that has a unique cam-mechanism inside the razor that both lifts AND twists the top out of the way. “In the original prototype design the twist simply lifted the top of the razor. There’s no need to handle separate pieces when loading a blade, simply twist to open, place your blade, and twist to close. “One of the things we felt was important for The Twig was to make sure the design stayed in a single piece for loading. And the head is really small (half the size of a regular double edge razor) and can get into tight spots (like under the nose) a lot easier: The Twig uses an innovative blade-loading mechanism that I think makes swapping out a half DE blade a lot easier than other razors that use a half DE blade. “We designed The Twig from the ground up to be the easiest-to-use, most precise and maneuverable fixed-head shave.” The Razor Head It stands wonderfully on it’s own -or- as a companion to The Leaf for the ultimate shave experience. With fewer features and a simpler mechanism than The Leaf razor, we’re able to welcome people into shaving plastic-free at a more accessible price. ![]() ![]() “The Twig takes the premise of a classic safety razor and makes it accessible for regular people like you and me. The folks who brought you the Leaf razor, that uses snapped-in-half DE blades on a pivoting head, have just announced a crowdfunding campaign for their newest razor, the Twig.
