I use the Schick Xtreme 3 - comfort plus - - -you get a package of 20  for $18.00 at Sam's Club - - -I use them 3-4 days.   And Gillette Fusion  Proglide shave cream.

I do shave every day and it takes me no more than 20 minuts for:  face, fringe, and dome. and look at the results - - -I do use cold water to rinse and it keeps the shine on the dome  .   I love having a glossy dome.

Agreed...great razor and great flexible design for the top of the dome!

Schick Hydro 5 is my current tool of choice, M5 is backup.  I really like the Headslick--wouldn't be caught without it, but I found the HB too cumbersome, changing direction difficult--yet as an article of industrial design it's one of the best.  But then some people liked the look of Edsels too :D.

Shower or sink?

How does it compare to the new fusion proglide 5 blade razor?

Add me to the list of people who have put their Headblades up.  The problem are the blades.  My Schick works much better.
One definition of "surrender" is, "To join the winning side."

I'm loving my HB, and started shaving in the shower with a ToiletTree fogless mirror. In fact, I have been having the best shaves since  I started in shower and they are lasting much longer. I'm using the HB blades too. I haven been shaving for almost four weeks.

Tonight I tried showering and then going back to shaving at the sink using my fusion proglide razor and I didn't feel the same smoothness as I do when I'm in the shower but I managed to do it in 14 minutes with missing little to no spots. So far so good...Just have to keep experimenting. Tomorrow, proglide in the shower. :)

LOL!!
I use one of the simpliest routines around, not bullshitting with alot of products.
I shave my head with a Gillette blue 3 straight razor and I use a gillette gel.
No other products, and my head skin is smooth for 14 hours +.
The shaving thingy takes me - 5 mins.
Pm me so we can talk more about this. I'm 100% sure I can help you out.
be who you are, say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter

I shave daily. Now, how often should I change the blade/cartridge?

I change blades at about 7 shaves, but the last one or two are not as close as the first one or two.

Can't afford to use fresh blades more often than that.

Maybe some day they will come out with self sharpening blades and they will never go dull.

Wow, how do you get an entire month out of a razor? I also use Gillette Fusion and they last me a maximum of 2 weeks (I shave every other day).

BTW, I don't like to use the Gillette Fusion ProGlide. The ProGlide system seems to 'slip' over my head, I like to have a bit more control.

One blade, one month, one bad shave!  Or very little/very thin hair.
