How sad is this?

I honstly cannot believe you couldn't sell the Leaf. It was a real bargain, but I suppose we have all been there with a good few items, not being able to understand why the Hell no one wants them. Especially at a great discount.

I was surprised too, great price and with all the extras. I get the impression that because the leaf is cartridge’ish.

That's what makes it such a great shaver. I eagerly await the two blade version

But for some is it too much like a step into the past ? I use mine everyday now, three half blades last a week too, not that that’s a concern.

I was offered a low price on TSR, I refused, he countered saying it was too near new price.
Yes, I reply but I have all the extras. I don’t need them he said, he actually bought a new one instead

Yeah, I love the AP knots, they do everything I need, I love the Cashmere. It's not for everybody, scrubbers won't like them but I'm not a face masher, any AP knot will do though.

Cheers for the info Wayne. I might get a fan synth, I like the look of them more than anything!

The Leaf is a razor that has never appealed to me, don't know why, not even interested in trying it. I quite like your collection Wayne, I've whittled a lot of mine down to stuff I actually like. Sure I have too many soaps, but they'll not sell for anything worth selling for and I can't bring myself to bin them like you. They're decent and I'll just use them, once I'm finally down to about 10 or less then I'll do a one out one in. Keep it manageable

And when I day manageable, I mean just one small shelf.

The beauty for myself is the experience and knowledge

Nothing sad about this mate. Said it on another thread, you’ve found what a lot of us I think ultimately want to find and that’s happiness in a modest setup.

After owning a good few premium shaving items in the past, I now only use the Leaf and Twig. I have gone from a lovely rack full of good gear to this pathetic offering. Not good for a shaving enthusiast. Got to love the Leaf but I hate it at the same time. It's just so difficult to see past it and go back to the days of buying expensive razors, finding they don't work and selling them for half price to a grateful buyer.

I think it’s great that you’re now at a point where you are content with what you own. Congrats!

Revel in your enlightened state.

This is what puts me off. I have nothing against cartridges but I don't enjoy them.

Know what you mean, I get a good shave out of my Leaf but would never use a cart. Thing I dislike most about a cart is them lube strips, down side to the leaf is the fact you can’t get under your nose.
