FOR SHAVING

For a smoother shave, apply a drop to wet skin and hair, then shave. For extra protection, the shaving oil can be combined with a shaving soap where the shaving foam is applied on top of the layer of shaving oil.

FOR DERMAPLANING

After cleansing skin and before dermaplaning, rub a small amount of shaving oil into the skin to increase glide and protection from the blade.

Store in a cool place and not in direct sunlight. Avoid contact with eyes. For external use only. In case of irritation, discontinue use of the product.

How to use Leaf aftershave serum

Apply a thin layer to your skin as the last step of your dermaplaning or shaving routine to protect skin from irritation and redness.

A delicious and gentle shaving soap for those who want a natural and effective shaving experience with respect for the skin.

For women, the bar is ideal to use directly on the skin – e.g. in the bath, when legs, armpits or other areas need to be shaved. For men, it is recommended to use a shaving brush, especially when shaving the beard, for a close and comfortable experience.

How does Organic Beard Serum work?

1. Increased beard growth
   The clinically documented algae ingredient SymHair® Force 1631 prolongs the beard hair's active growth phase (anagen), increases the number of active hair follicles and gives up to 44% thicker beard after 60 days vs. placebo (clinically proven).

2. Strengthened beard hair
   SymHair® Force 1631 improves the elasticity and resilience of the hair fibers so that the beard breaks less and appears fuller.

3. Balanced skin
   The patented plant complex Defenscalp™, combined with hyaluronic acid and organic aloe vera, adds moisture, soothes and prevents itching, irritation and dandruff under the beard – the ideal foundation for healthy growth.

Use & routine

1. Cleanse beard and skin thoroughly with a mild, sulphate-free shampoo.

2. Apply 1–2 pumps of serum on the desired areas – dry or slightly moist skin.

3. Massér for 30 seconds at the roots to stimulate blood circulation and increase nutrient­ transport to the hair follicles.

4. Let the serum penetrate – it should not be rinsed out.

5. Finish with our Organic Beard Oil to condition the lengths and seal in serum.

Tip: Consistency is key. Use the serum daily for at least 2 months. After reaching the goal, you can maintain the result with 2–3 applications per week.

Frequently asked questions

• Is it greasy?
  No – non-greasy, fast-absorbing texture.

• How long does a bottle last?
  30 ml gives approx. 2–3 months of daily use.

• Can it be used morning and night?
  Yes – either, or both, depending on your routine.

Create your ultimate beard care routine:

1. Clean with mild shampoo

2. Apply and massage beard serum

3. Use beard oil for the lengths

Persistent use rewards you with a thicker, softer and more uniform beard – completely without perfume or unnecessary chemicals.

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.

It will give you a close and smooth shave and can feel as if the hairs/stubs are simply wiped off the skin.

It makes it easy to get into armpits and the like, as it doesn't take up much space.

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.

The Twig is simple to use. You can use it all over your body and it's suitable for both men and women.

How to use The Twig
Prepare your skin for shaving by washing with warm water. It makes the hairs softer and easier to shave.

• Use a good shaving soap. We would definitely recommend this one 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 on 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 washing-up liquid

Do not leave the safety razor soaked for a long time.

How to change blades on The Twig
