Hi guys.
So you found the MOTO! We've been working on it since mid-2014 and we're really excited to release it to the public. We have posted a couple videos on our channel but do not intend to really promote it until Wednesday.
I uploaded five more today.
https://www.youtube.com/user/HeadBladeFor those of you not familiar with the HeadBlade brand I'll give you a quick synopsis below and how the MOTO fits into our lineup.
The HeadBlade Classic was introduced in 1999 and introduced our patented suspension and finger ring design. It was also notable because the blade was in front and the user 'pushed' the blade instead of 'pulling.'
The Sport was introduced in 2005 and really was the ongoing evolution of the Classic; along the way it introduced the 'wheels' and rubber finger ring. It also came standard with our HB3 blades, instead of twin blade design.
A lot of people loved HeadBlade razors but we realized that the 'pushing motion' was uncomfortable for some and, if used incorrectly, would not give optimal results!
So we engineered a completely new design for headshaving.
The ATX, introduced in 2012, was a complete reversal from the original HeadBlade as it became more conventional and utilized the widely accepted 'pulling' method of shaving as opposed to the Sport/Classic 'push' method. It used the HB4 blade as OEM.
The ATX opened up a much larger customer base for us as most people are more comfortable with the conventional pulling method. Since then we've really had two 'camps' of HeadBladers...Pushers (Sport/Classic) and Pullers (ATX).
I like the ATX but agreed with many longtime HeadBladers that once you master the Sport the ATX's only benefit was the better blades. Since everything is backwards compatible with HeadBlade razors you could also use those blades (HB4 and HB6) on the Sport.
With the new design and technology integrated in the MOTO it is leaps and bounds above the ATX in shaving experience. It rivals the Sport in effectiveness and is as forgiving as the ATX! For over two years we've been working on the ATX successor and I really am excited about the MOTO. It is now my daily shaver (spoiler alert.....until the S4 MOTO comes out mid-December!!).
I do monitor this Forum and applaud Tyler for really fostering the community. As most of you know I'm fairly easy to contact; Todd@HeadBlade.com
I may not give long answers to emails...(definitely not like this post) but I do answer them!
I hope you love the MOTO as much as I do. Give it a try.
And have a great holiday!
