I have the Sport ... being the frugal gent that I am. I'm quite satisfied with it - it does what it needs to do without any fuss. In fact, I just bought a second as a "backup" -- but I view that as insurance that the first will never fail since I'm prepared.

I can't see how the Ghost is any different from the sport (aside from the appearance).

What is the "ghost?" I only know the "Sport."

Just like the regular HeadBlade but with a nub at it's back end instead of wheels. Also, it's made of clear, well, semi clear plastic.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Exactly.
Someone claims that the nub offers more grip and stability then the wheels.
That's why I was doubtful and opened this thread.

waine, for you from the Headblade site:

Once my ex-girlfriend told me to disappear. I tried but it was a bit difficult. I decided to end the relationship instead. Making something clear and see through isn't really easy. Sure, Apple made a great contribution to the acceptance of clear products when they introduced the iMac. Brilliant move. My ex would've been better off with someone named Mac anyways. We didn't start off making the Ghost for my ex or to be like an iMac. Hell, we didn't even do it for Halloween, though it made for a nice quick promotion. Truth be told we did it for prisons because in order for us to sell HeadBlades they need to be clear (so they can't hide a shank). Apparently shanks come really small these days. Well, enough of this banter. The Ghost comes with a triple blade and a lot of street credibility (if you know what I mean). It was smart that I gave her the shaft and not the shank. UPDATE: Since posting this new item I've been informed that shanks do come quite small. A hopefully-law-abiding-but-very-knowledgeable HeadBlader emailed me the following note: "Shanks do come really small these days Goggle buck hartsook." Yep, he's right.
