How do you use a Safety Razor?
If you haven't tried a safety razor - or a DE scraper like this one, then you probably just have to get used to using it. And your skin probably needs to too.
But follow this procedure - and you're pretty much on your way:
- Moisten skin and beard/hair with warm water
- Use shaving foam or a shaving brush and lather it up well - possibly. with a brush
- Check your scraper and make sure the scraper head and handle are not loose. However, only tighten the screw if it is loose. Then you are sure that the blade is at the right angle
- Start your shave and hold the scraper at a 30 degree angle to the skin
- Let the scraper slide over the skin with light pressure
- Shave only in the direction of the hairs - not against the hairs
- Tighten the skin in places where it can be difficult to get a flat surface - e.g. on the neck
Can a Safety Razor also be used by women?
The short answer is: YES!
The Safety Razor also works well for shaving on the body.
Even though Mühle's leaflet says that it should only be used on the face. But Mühle's products are sold all over the world, so they have probably chosen to be extra careful with their recommendations for that reason. As long as you are careful with the shave, just as you would be if it were on the face, then you can easily use it on the body too.

Leaf Shave's The Twig - for a controlled and plastic-free shave
The Twig is Leaf Shave's brilliant take on a classic Safety Razor.
However, The Twig only has a razor blade on one side - and is therefore a Single-Edge razor.
5 Leaf Shave Single-Edge blades are included in package.
The razor blade is set at the perfect shaving angle for the vast majority of people.
It will give you a close and smooth shave and can feel as if the hairs/stubs are simply being wiped off the skin.
It makes it easy to get into armpits and the like, as it doesn't take up very much.
And then The Twig is also a completely plastic-free product, which can save you and the environment a whole lot of expensive disposable scrapers.
Leaf Shave gives a lifetime guarantee on the product, so this Leaf Razor is a Safety Razor for life!
The Twig is simple to use. You can use it all over the body and it suits both men and women.
This Leaf Shave Twig razor is in the color SILVER
It has a matte finish and can patina a little more easily than the glossy models (Chome, Mercury, Gold and Rose Gold)
How to use The Twig
- Prepare your skin for shaving with wash with warm water. It makes the hairs softer and easier to shave.
- Use a good shaving soap. We would definitely recommend this from Isangs with Eucalyptus
- Shave with The Twig. Both skin and razor should be moist when you start.
- You don't need to put extra pressure on The Twig, just let the weight of the razor do the work
- Continuously rinse The Twig under warm water.
- Notice if you need to shave any areas and repeat
- And then you're done and freshly shaved!
Cleaning this Leaf shave razor
Open The Twig and rinse thoroughly after each use. Use possibly an old toothbrush if there are places where dirt is stuck.
Make sure the blade is cleaned and has a chance to dry up.
Store The Twig in a dry place.
If you want your Leaf Shave razor standing free, you can buy this brilliant holder for it.
If there is limescale stuck to it at The Twig, you can soak it in 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water for approx. 10 minutes.
Scrub it if necessary. clean with an old toothbrush and a little mild dishwashing detergent
Do not leave the safety razor soaked for a long time.
How to change blades on The Twig
Your Leaf Shave must be supplied with 1 Single-Edge razor blade. You can find the razor blades here
- When you want to change the blades, you start by unscrewing the bottom of the shaft of The Twig. You have to screw clockwise to open it.
- The screw at the bottom opens the razor blade at the top, which you can now access.
- Replace the razor blade
- Make sure the blade is in the right position
- Be careful when handling the razor blade. It's really sharp!
- Turn the base back into place - counter-clockwise. (see video further down the page)
Leaf Shave's The Twig is produced in China
Packaging: The Leaf Shave razor comes in a cardboard box that can be reused together with your other cardboard waste
