@Xnewyawka... Where can I get the Wilkinson blades from?
Ro, as Doug indicated you can get the best price at Walmart. They're usually around three and a half dollars or so for a pack of ten. They work great for me and I use them as my standard HB cartridge.
Let us know how it goes. -

Wish it was that easy for me, can't get any blades that work with the yellow adapter over here (apart from the hb's)

Stick with the HB Baldchav, you'll get it. Take your time; shave with long, slow strokes, no pressure is needed on the blade end.
As far as blade cartridges, I've found that the Atra and Wilkinson Sword doubles work best for me. I have tried the Sensor's, and they just don't work well for me. It takes many more passes to get really close for some reason.
If you can find them where you are, the Wilkinson Sword double blade cartridges are a real value as well.
Do you use Atra or Atra Plus? I wasn't able to find Atras... Do you find them to work better then the HB Triples? -

JJ, the blade cartridges are called Atra plus, due to the fact it has a lubra-strip on it. You can also try the Wilkinson Sword brand equivalent, which I find work just as well, for a fraction of the cost. They work much better than the HB triples, imo. -

Just tried sensor 3 blades for the first time yesterday... WOW. It's 24 four hours since, and I'm still as smooth as a cue ball. The downside is the only cheap way to buy them here is on disposables, so it's a big waste of plastic.

well, I tried the Wilkinson Sword, and I must say...NO WAY! They tore up my head something fierce! I have not had razor burn and weepers like this since I started shaving my head. I've got 9 blades that I'll be trashing really soon!
My routine was exactly the same as when I was using the HB with the HB cartridges, so I guess I shouldn't have messed with a good thing!
To each his own I guess!

@SlyAggie... Really? That bad? What do you think made such a terrible difference? I'm asking because I'm gonna pick some up this weekend...

It seems the angle of the actual blades in the cartridge was too steep and therefore grated my head like a piece of sharp cheddar!
