Leaf Pivoting Head Razor Quick Details:

• 100% plastic-free

• Adjustable blade count means tailored shaving experience to your comfort
• Lifetime warranty means this is the last razor you'll ever buy

Material

Zinc and stainless steel razor with stainless steel blades.

To Use

Open the razor by turning the screw on the back. Load 1, 2, or 3 blades into the razor starting with the lowest position. Close the razor and tighten the screw.

• Loading only the top blade will give you the mildest shave possible.
• Adding the middle blade will give you a moderately close shave.
• All three blades together will give you the closest shave.

Care

Rinse your razor after each use to remove any residual soap and hair. Store in a dry place where it can fully dry between uses. Check out the Leaf Razor Stand for a beautiful and functional storage option. As needed, deep clean your razor with some vinegar and baking soda.

Packaging + End of Life

Every Leaf Razor comes with a lifetime warranty, so you should never have to dispose of it. However, it can be recycled with metal recycling. Blades can be returned to Leaf for proper recycling.

Each razor is packaged in a carboard box, which can be recycled with curbside paper recycling.

Origin

The razors are manufactured in Taiwan, and the blades are manufactured in Egypt.

🌎 You care about the planet. So do we.

Look. I get it. It’s HARD to be an EcoWarrior. Someone who cares about the planet and wants the most sustainable products available - from the ingredients to the packaging to the way that product gets to your hands.

It seems like everywhere we turn, someone, somewhere, is greenwashing us.

But our superpower at A Drop in the Ocean is sorting through the BS, calling it out, and making sure our products are the absolute most sustainable and truly zero waste products we can find.

So on top of all the things we mentioned above about what makes our Leaf Pivoting Head Safety Razor so sustainable, here’s a few other things you should know:

• We’re actually practicing what we preach behind the scenes. In 2022, we saved all of our trash for four months, and wrote a whole blog post on it. The tl;dr version is this: in four months, we only produced two pounds of trash. Everything from the packaging our products come in down to the Sharpie we use to write “Fragile” on your box is zero waste to its core.
• We’re an online-only zero waste store - which is highly intentional. It may seem counter-intuitive, but online shopping is actually more sustainable than in-person. I’m a data nerd at heart and I love diving into the research, and there are countless studies that have shown that online shopping is the most sustainable way to get your everyday essentials. Don’t believe me? Check out our whole blog post on the sustainability of online shopping.
• We ship ugly boxes. Your order from A Drop in the Ocean is not going to arrive in a pretty, branded box. It’s gonna show up in a reused tea box, or a donated Amazon box, or maybe even an inside-out Girl Scout Cookies box. All of our shipping materials are always 100% plastic-free and reused as much as possible, with curbside-recyclable paper tape and a post-consumer recycled paper shipping label. It won’t be pretty, but it will be zero waste.
