Not Again!!!

[SLYinKC]

I've had a headblade classic since shortly after going SLY.  I feel alot like Lance.  I keep pulling it out of the drawer thinking maybe this time will be better, but it never is.  I pulled it out again 2 days ago.  At least I don't slice my head anymore.  I did that the first time and took a big chunck outta my scalp that made me put it away for quite awhile before I ever tried it again.

For the past couple of months I have rotated between a Mach III, Fusion, and Schick Quattro.  I can't say that I think that any of these 3 is that much better than the other.  They are all good.  I would probably recommend the Schick Quattro as the most bang for your buck.  Always gives a good, close shave and the blades are almost half the cost of Fusion.

For all you Headbladers....I say "More power to ya"  wish I was one of you, because the blades are less expensive and I do like the design of the HB. Just never can seem to get a good shave with it.

Comparing the Vegematic to the Headblade is truly laughable.

it was meant to be!

John I respect your opinions. You are free to have them on here.

I do not mean laughable as in the irony of the comparison.

I mean laughable as a ridiculous comparison. Like comparing a Silverback gorilla to a piece of chalk

OK I have an IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!
.....................ok ....why did everyone just run?  You havent even heard what Im gonna say yet.........hey you have to give me at least a little credit....i havent lost it completely...

OK you ready for my idea?.................YOU!  YEAH YOU....Get back in here..and listen to me.
I think for all of those guys who have trouble with the HB,  well we need to have a training seminar....get you all use to using the HB.  Its teh coolest and most slickiest device made to use on your head that has ever been made....except for Tylers veggie peelers....damn those things hurt...but with the use of Headslick....anything is possible...that stuff is good...especially when you pair it up with the HBsport.  Some say they have trouble manuvering the HB....after about a week of shaving you will have it down to getting the closest most slickiest shave ever in about 3 minutes....i guarentee it

........................OK you can go now!  Thanks

All kidding aside;  ...   it seems to me with the headblade (and I have to admit , i've never used one) its all " ..... if you use the right blades"    and "if you use enuf headslick" ...  and "if you practice a week or so with it" ... "then its GREAT ! ! "  ....     to me it just doesn't seem worth the trouble.  As I've said before; when I started shaving I used the Fusion; and from the very first shave it has been perfect.  no cuts; no nicks; no irritation .....   Who knows; maybe I'd have just as good luck with the Headblade;   .... but I guess I'm in a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mode with my Fusion       And all you irrate Headblade users ... I've just been yankin' your chain.    I'm glad you enjoy the Headblade; keep on goin' with it .... I just don't think it's for me ....

John...we are going to hog tie you down and start using the headblade on ya.  LOL...
Nah really...im in the same boat as you John.
Doesnt matter how you shave your head..or what you shave it with...as long as you are gettin that smooth dome look.  And I need to make a correction in one of your statements...I only have to use a dime size amout of headslick to shave with.  I know ..it maybe different for different guys...but that is all I have to use and a blade on my headblade with my headslick usually last any where from 5-7 weeks.  So cost wise...it benefits me....
Like you said..." If it aint broke..dont fix it".  Unless you are with the federal gov't. They will "TRY" to fix something jsut because they "Think" they can LOL
To all my Sly Bro's....Keeper smooth!

I think that sums up a lot of it right there.  You may want to actually TRY a product before you review it.  Just a thought...

Everyone's skin, head shape, coordination, etc. is different.  Therefore, the same tool is not going to work for everyone.  And the same reason that one brand of blade on a HeadBlade is not going to work the same as a different one for different people.   This also goes with the amount of shaving cream or gel.  Then, when you start getting more advanced and can tell the difference, even when very small, in the closeness of a shave from one blade/gel/cream combo to another.

One of the reasons that I use a product for a week before giving it a review is because I like get an average of how the product works.  For example, how long a person has been up before shaving can alter how good their shave is.  So, if I shave with a product for the first time within 15 minutes of waking up and then the next time after being awake for an hour, I can get completely different shaves.  To judge the product on one try would be unfair to the product.  It also helps to really learn how to use a product before deciding if it's a good product or not.

Excellent Tyler, that's it in a nutshell, bro!, Right on point.

Well said man.  I agree totally with the waking up thing.  I shaved the other day around 6pm in the evening and I think it was probably one of the best shaves I've gotten.  I stayed pretty much stubble free for over 12 hours.  That was using the Bald Guyz shave gel and my old Mach 3.  This was the first time I shaved that late.  Maybe that's one trick with my skin type.  I need to shave a little later in the day? 

[Scott]

Lance, I've found that my shaves are better if they're later in the day... today for example I didn't have classes or work so I didn't shave until 4pm due to doing homework and as with all the other times I've shaved in the afternoon, it's about as flawless a shave as I've had

Tyler, come on dude.  Work with us here man.  Was that necessary?   

 

At least the picture did not include Timm in them

Tyler, stay away from the Photoshop!!!

I think it's dependent on the individual and what they feel comfortable with. I bought the HB Sport from Ebay and gave it a try. The front and the sides were amazing shaved beautifully. Around the back was a different story and I really didn't have time that day to try and get used to it. I take it out along with my Quattro and always end up using the Quattro because I know what I'm doing with it and the fact that it gives me a really close shave without any nicks or burns. One thing though the Head Slick really rocks and so little needs to be applied.
