Well i posted in another thread somewhere about my headblade.  i have bought it about 6 weeks ago..im still using the same blade it come with.  Warhawk asked if my wife was changing the blade on it...but she isnt because the headblade comes with a yellow strip on it and the others that i have are blue or green.  I will keep you all posted when i do change it out...but for how..yeah..i have gotten what?  6 weeks x's 7 days....you figure it out...mind blowing ehhh i would say so...i normally only get about 6 days out of  reg razor for my face.

OK Y'all....I think today is the day I have to retire the orginal Headblade sport blade.  It has been giving me a really close shave now since the day i bought it and that was teh end of June...here it is the 2nd week of Aug.  I shaved with it this morning and felt it didnt give me as close of a shave as I like.  So I have to go home from work and get ready for my night job at the funeral home. So when i go to shave this evening ..if it isnt close....I will take the blade wiht me to the funeral home and I will have a little memorial service for it........i will let ya all know later tonight....wish me luck LOL

I usually only use a blade 2-3 times... that's one of the nice things about the Headblade, the  generic atra blades are cheap enough you don;t have to push them so far.

Well I wasnt really pushing it ...it was just still giving me a great shave so why bother changing it.  But I will say this morning I think I finally laid it to rest.  Only thing I didnt like was when I put on a new blade....i was shaving around my ear...and I will have you know...this was the first time in 3 weeks..I cut myself.  Damn it bled and bled like a stuck pig.  I was liek crying..I want my orginal blade back.  i still have the orginal blade..it is sitting up on the top shelf in my bathroom closet.  Looks lonely up there...but oh well ...maybe i will attach it to the hood of my truck and use it as a hood ornament.  What you all think of that?...Hey Idea....are their any Headblade decals out for yoru truck or cars yet??  I would put a huge on on my hood.

So far it's about a week with the original blade that came with the HB sport.
I am wondering when I will need to change, but from what Tim has said I may not need to until sometime In September, we will have to see.
Also, what is a good three blade replacement that will fit on the HB sport?
Is it best to just order refills from Headblade?

I use the headblade with Gillette sensor replacements, I probably go almost a month using the same razor.  I usually change it out if I went a couple days without shaving.

I know I've mentioned this before in other threads but I can only get 3 shaves per headblade.  I don't know what I'm doing wrong ... maybe I can use some of Tim's razors  8)
