A Better Shave For You and The Planet

By definition, the word routine means a sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program. We all have our daily routines, the things we do mindlessly without thinking twice about. Activities like brushing your teeth, going to the gym, cooking breakfast, showering, shaving, making your bed, the list goes on. Without even knowing it, these small routines we do every day produce waste, maybe on a small scale individually but altogether as a planet, too much for Mother Earth to handle if we don’t take action.
What if we were all a little bit more mindful of our decisions and made more sustainable choices without changing our routines? What if we all made a promise to protect the planet we love AND enhance our self-care routine simultaneously. That’s where Leaf comes in.
Meet the brand that’s changing how we shave — for good. Coincidentally founded by two guys named Adam, the pair sought a better shaving experience because they simply couldn’t find a razor that wowed them. Plastic, disposable razors were costly and wasteful. Single-blade safety razors were intimidating. So, they designed sustainable razors to solve all their shaving woes.
So What Makes The Leaf Razor So Good?
My personal experience with the Leaf Razor is unmatched by any other razor I’ve ever used. Seriously. Let’s dive into the details.
The Cost
I admittedly have used my fair share of disposable razors in high school and college, even into my mid 20s. In my head, I thought I was saving money but turns out I was spending upwards of $20+ every other week to replace them.
The Leaf Razor is a well-worthwhile investment simply because of its longevity. The razors are designed to last, crafted with 100% (skin-safe) metal. The 50-pack of razor blades that come with the kit (or you can purchase these individually for $12) last me for an average of 4 months. In sum, your investment can actually save you money in the long run while you also help save the planet from plastic waste.
The other cost I’d like to talk about is the environmental burden that big box razor companies are contributing to everyday. If every shaver in America went plastic-free, we’d be able to keep 3 billion disposables and 25 thousand tons of packaging waste out of landfills every year. One of the main reasons I support Leaf is because of their mission to help the planet, one shave at a time.
The Shave
Smoothest. Shave. Ever. I could tell almost instantly that the Leaf was far superior to any other razor I used because of how smooth it left my legs after a single pass. The flexible, pivoting head made toe-hair shaving bearable (sorry for the TMI). Even sensitive areas were smoother and bump-free after switching to Leaf.
As I mentioned, my ignorant teenage self didn’t know any better when she was using cheap plastic razors. I was suffering from razor burn and bumps on sensitive areas and kind of just suffered through it. I didn’t know there was a better option… until I found Leaf!
The Aesthetics
It just looks so good in my shower, on my vanity, anywhere I take it really. I even show it off to my friends when we go on girls’ trips because it’s just so beautiful. Compared to the grimey, gunked up plastic razors I was once using, this is quite the upgrade. I have the Prism Leaf Razor and Twig safety razor. I don’t know anyone that wouldn’t want to shave with this rainbow beauty.
