TWO FANTASTIC, PIVOTING RAZORS GO HEAD TO HEAD!

I'm REALLY surprised at how different these feel on the skin. FULLY TRANSPARENT HERE - if you didn't know - I LOVE MY LEAF for HEAD SHAVES haha I am a huge fan of the Leaf as it's a razor I believe ANYONE can pick up and use. The Leaf offers variable aggressive settings - and the spring feels natural for most people who are coming from the widely available carts. The brand is also VERY consumer driven - and has made it their goal to take back any razor within 30 days if the user doesn't like the shave. THAT TO ME - speaks volumes about the company. They are small - run by less than a dozen people - and continually aim to improve and modernize our wet shave experience. In contrast - the Focus Dynamic is essentially warranty-less, with a mantra of "if you open it - it's yours, no give backs" haha The R48 EVO feels about 1.5x MORE "aggressive" (i.e blade feel) compared to the Leaf's most aggressive bottom slot - and the R48 EVO also doesn't have the "any user can pick it up" kind of vibe to me personally. It's shave angle window is much more narrow compared to the Leaf, and it goes from medium aggressive - to WILD & WILL TEAR YOU UP Aggressive - within about 4 degrees. The R48 EVO really wants to be at the 27-28 degree angle it is set at and any deviation from that and you REALLY feel it.

Materials' and Finish - the R48 EVO is the same as a Henson, using anodized aluminum with an injected finish. IT'S TOUGH, RUGGED and going to LAST. This also makes it VERY light, at approximately 33 grams compared to the LeafShave Leaf's PVD Coated Zinc Razor that comes in at 83 grams. The R48 EVO is also considerably shorter - which comes down more to preference than anything else.

POST BATTLE - For me - the edge goes to the LEAF still, as it just feels smoother - and more natural to me on the skin. I love the mild nature, yet efficient offset the Bottom Placement offers - and the spring offering about 50% more flex is a nicety I have come to appreciate. The Focus Dynamic's new R48 EVO is NO slouch and its still 100% worth getting if you like these ODDBALL razors - just know - it may take a small adjustment to learn it.
