Definitely doubles. I tried the HB4s twice, but just couldn't get into them. Went back to some generic Atra-style blades and am getting the best shaves I've ever had. Love the ATX.

Haven't tried the HB4 that it came with yet, I'm using the hb triple blades and I'm getting a fantastic shave. I've been an avid user of the headblade sport for quite a while, but I love the ATX!!! Way to go Todd and team, best one yet!!

I recently started shaving with the HeadBlade ATX. I like the default blades that came with it. Are these blades the same as these (http://www.amazon.com/Headblade-Replacement-Four-Blade-pack/dp/B009S7GP3W/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1362874651&sr=1-1&keywords=HeadBlade+HB4)?

Also, my HeadBlade came with only the black (default) adapter. Do all HB blades work on the black adapter?

When I first purchased the ATX, it came with the 4HB and they were fantastic, they gave an awesome shave.

When the 4HB ran out and took a punt on the 6HB and I haven't looked back. They are awesome, they give me
the "Smooth as a baby's bum" shave. I can go WTG, ATG & XTG without any razorburns, irritations etc.

I love them  :@`

I find myself rotating between the HB6 & HB4. The 6 being my preferred choice, the 4 gives a solid shave but the overall closeness of the 6 is hard to beat.

Can't find any HB6's so by default, I have to go with the HB4's

I've been getting my HB4s & 6s online so I'm not sure if they're in stores yet.

using HeadBlade 3's that I purchased online, not as good a shave as the Gillette mach3 I started with but I'm reasonably happy with them, but always on the lookout for something better.

Just broke down and bought an ATX since the limited retailers have no just got the ATX and HB 4- I tried the HB 4 with my Sport but did not like the match- getting used to the ATX here and have to say it really gives the closest shave I have ever had so far totally smooth. So now I am convinced and will stick to ATX-

It took me about 3 or 4 shaves to get used to the ATX but once I got used to it I couldn't got back to the sport.

I agree, it took about 3-4 shaves to get used to ATX. I used HB6 for the first time today. I found HB4s to be easier to use on the back of my head.
