I just tried the sensor blades on my HB and I'm not happy I have scraped the hell out of my head. I'm gonna stay with my HB trips for mowing the bulk of it down and my fusion as a trimmer for the spots I can't get with the HB.

Try the Sensor3 cartridges. I've had great resuts with them.

Tis better to have a bald head than no head at all.

Sorry to hear that. Best to stick to what works for you.

Many of you know that I have been a big fan of the fusion.

Recently, the CVS has Mach3 razors on sale.  So I picked one up and I gotta tell you....works just as well for me.  Think I'm gonna use that for a while.

I really like the Schick xtreme 3 disposables, but would like to find the Schick Xtreme 3 system (non-disposable) just because I don't like the lightweight feel of disposable razors.  Has anyone seen these in the stores lately.  I can find the blades but not the handle.

I use the extreme 3 disposables, but over here they're made my wilkinson sword - same  brand name though.  Didnt know they did non-disposable: would be interested in finding them myself, as i love the way the blade bends into the contours of the head: gives a very good shave.

Sometimes I then finish up with my MachIII but extreme 3 are so good I don't always bother. O0

The disposables are more common.  I think they may be phasing out the non-disposables.  And I wonder if Gilette has got the same thing in mind for the Mach III now that they've introduced a disposable version of that razor.

I hate the wimpy feel of a disposable.  When I'm shaving in the shower I like the heft of something substantial in my hand and I like my razor to have a bit of weight to it as well  :*))  :*))  :*))

There are many new disposables out on the market. Have you tried the  Gillette Mach3 Jetables or Gillette CustomPlus Sensor3?

Those are NOT wimpy at all. It's NOT wise to make generalizations about shaving systems. I'd advise you NOT to call something wimpy if you haven't given it a try.

I definitely need to try these out. I use the HeadBlade, but I always need a regular old razor to touch up the area around my ears and sideburns
