New here but not newly bald

• Hi everyone. just a quick message to say hello. I've been shaving my head now for a couple of years since losing a lot of it naturally  . I came across this forum while searching for something a bit better than a standard wet razor.  There seems to be a lot of support for the headblade products so I'm thinking of ordering one.  I'd be interested in views as to whether they really are all they're cracked up to be

• Quite a few guys here really like the headblade, including me.
  
  But there are some who don't adjust.
  
  Here's my routine. If I'm shaving daily, I just use the headblade. If I skip a day, I shave with a Fusion Power with the grain first, then headblade against the grain.
  
  The headblade seems to give the smoothest head.

  Welcome, Distroshack. There are varying experiences with Headblades on this forum. I started using the HB few weeks after I begun shaving my head. That was 15 months ago I've never looked back.
  
  Why not order one and see how you get along ? You could look on their web site for guidance on a shaving technique for your head.

• Welcome to the club. I alternate between the headblade sport and the Schick hydro 5. Both give good results. Good luck.

• Welcome mate,
  
  I rate the headblade for ease of use and speed.
  
  I think that traditional wet shaving is also great if you have the time!
  
  Let is know how you get on.

• Welcome! I use HeadSlick almost all the time even if I don't use the HeadBlade. But both are very good especially if you are shaving your head and only have a short time to do it. Stick around and participate and see if there are some new methods and/or products that may pique your interest. Good luck!

  Welcome to the Bastion Of Baldness.
  
  I think the ATX Headblade as excellent. I have been Sly for 17 years and the ATX is the best I have used.
  Easy to use, no nics or cuts and gives a "smooth as a baby's bum" shave.

• Thanks for the advice everyone. I decided to buy the atx and it arrived this morning. Very fast shave and the results seem good. Certainly a lot easier than a standard blade

• My thoughts exactly.
