My first Head Blade ATX expereince
« on: October 16, 2013, 10:42:38 PM »
I am only ten days into shaving my head.  I have previously been using Gillette blue 3 disposable razor blades.  My Head Blade ATX arrived today.  "It really does do what it says on the can"  What do you reckon to my first attempt

Sheesh, first my message had a "bad gateway," then I was timed out and couldn't post.  Take three ...

How do you replace the ATX blade?  I know I sound stupid, but I can't figure out if I need to detach the adapter before removing the blade.  I'd rather leave the adapter attached to the holder.  Can anyone help?  Thanks.

It's a snug fit, but the blade does come out.  Just work at it carefully so you don't break the adapter.

It's not like the sport where you push it to one side then slide it off, but a similar technique is what I use. Basically push it left or right until the cartridge is past the adapter then angle it down away from the adapter. When putting a new blade on remember the blades fave the wheels.
Most importantly leave the blade cover on while changing/replacing the blade.

I'm still not convinced with Headblade. I still have blades but find I still have to finish with my Hydro 5 and it's too expensive a tool to have to do that

I don't think the HB4 & HB6 are meant to be used on the sport since they were designed for the ATX.
