Single Edge Razors

Branch - for the win!

I already have the Thorn and Twig, so I wondered if I really would find this new Branch to be different enough to be worth it. IT IS! I have used it three times now. I especially like the grip with the added heft and I find it is easy to control. Before the Branch, I tended to favor the Thorn over the Twig for the extra closeness. Fortunately, the Branch seems similar enough to the Thorn's closeness that I really feel it will be the preferred choice going forward. I will keep the Thorn going in the house's second bathroom though, so it is not retired quite yet. I also tried the new Leaf Two razor, but ended up returning it since I only shave my face, and find that these single edge razors are better for me at least.

Great single headed razor.

Great improvements over the Thorn/Twig

I like a single edged razor for shaping beards. I previously had the Thorn that I liked a lot. The very narrow head and larger razor gap allowed for precise lines. The only changes I suggested, in a review, were that the handle was a little short and thin, and lacked sufficient texture for gripping. Six months later, voila, the branch appears. Same head design but the handle is chunkier, heavier and is fully textured. The balance is better. It did lose 0.1 mm of razor gap from the Thorn, but I have not noticed a difference in the shave. Immediately became my favorite shave.
