Thinking about ordering another one ( Like I have a choice in the matter ), It's really not a big deal but I've been without blades for two weeks and have been meaning to order some more but found some at walgreens today so I was a little looking forward to breaking out the HB again....but no. I don't know if it was crappy adhesive or what but it was routine, I tried to pull the adapter off and the whole base for it came with it :Xo!  better go get some superglue  

Come on Headblade, really ???

Have you even contacted HeadBlade and given them a chance to make things right?
If you give them a call I'll bet they replace it. They're great folks!  O0

thats why i dont like headblade, made of cheap plastic, removing the adapter usually f***s the razor up, and the blades that come with the HB are terrible.

I agree with Sgt, Ryan.  Contact Headblade and let them know.  They seem very responsiive on other issues, maybe they will replace it.

Like Paul and Sarge, I too think you should contact HB and make them aware of what happened.
 
From what I've seen of peoples' experiences with them, their customer service is top notch. I'm sure they will do what they can to make it right.

Thanks SGT.

The Blades aren't the issue and there not that bad IMO, Headblade works great for me and it serves it's purpose. Don't have the $$$ to buy an S-4 and tried some Krazyglue....didn't work that well.

I'll give them a call on Tuesday.

Have you tried the "Sport" model yet?  I like it a lot better than the standard model.  :@`

Oh you mean you haven't heard my bantering in regards to how much I despise the Sport and that annoying wheel  >:D
Don't ask I had a sport many moons ago and I got a classic and I liked it more.

Ryan,

My HB Ghost had the same thing happen several months ago.  I called HB and explained the situation and they offered a replacement.  At first, they tried to switch me to the "sport" model.  But, I like you, don't have a need for the training wheels.  The great folks at HB were happy to send me a replacement at no charge.

My only beef was that the replacement that came in the mail was broken prior to opening the package!  One quick phone call and another replacement was on the way.

I did consider attempting to glue the broken piece back on before I called HB.  Considering my luck over the years, I decided that wasn't such a good idea.  I could just imagine the adhesive failing! 

Give HB a call!

Ryan
