I just tried my new HeadBlade Sport for the first time. All I can say is "Holy hedge trimmer, Batman! Now that's what I call a shave!" I'm impressed with how little resistance or razor burn there was. I think it's safe to say the Sport is my new razor of choice.

I agree, it's quite a nifty device.

Does it not end up costing a lot for replacement blades though? Especially for daily shavers? One of the reasons I moved away from face shaving with cartridges was due to the high prices.
If headblade could use DE blades I'd try it!

About $9 for a four pack at walgreens, but if I can get enough shaves out of it it'll be worthwhile. Especially since it's faster than the disposables I've been using and I don't get the razor burn.

I got Gillette CustomPlus3 cartridges on Amazon for $1.17 each (three 4-packs for $14.08) and each one lasts me a week of daily shaving. No complaints here.

Still far more than I pay for DEs or my favourite disposable though. Thanks for the info but I'll pass I think.

I love my HB. I think I might try the Atra blades though... I dislike how much the HB blades clog up, and I rinse it out after every two swipes across my dome-piece. But I haven't encountered any razor burn (knock on wood). Haven't gone ATG yet though.
But agreed, I think the HB makes shaving your head a lot quicker.

I was a HeadBlade basher for a long time..but once I got the concept, I'm impressed! It works well especially in the shower!

Good choice on the HB Hing. It's the best tool for the job, no doubt. I suggest you try the double blade cartridges from Wilkinson-Sword. They're a great value (ten-pack under four dollars), and give a super smooth shave. You can pick them up at Walmart.

I'll look for them next time I'm at WM.

Has anyone else noticed that the HB Sport looks kinda like a miniature VW Beetle?

They work with the yellow adapter Mike, same as an Atra plus.

Welcome to the club.
I use the HB with generic Sensor blades (not Excel, Excel 3). I shave daily AGT. I use the blades for around 2 weeks, could stretch it, but just use these used blades for my face after that.
I get another two or three weeks out of the blade shaving my face
In order to stretch it to two weeks I rinse the blades with alcohol and rest them on a blade sharpener until next use.
After shaving with the HB I sometimes use my generic handle razor to do a touch up on the sides shaving from bottom to top, AGT
