Expensive Headblade
« on: October 14, 2007, 10:43:44 PM »
I have been on the hunt for Headblade products locally and have done well.Been able to secure the gloss and matte headlube as well as the shaving cream.And when the sun comes out again(sometime next june),i will buy the suntan lotion.
But in the meantime would love to find Clearhead.Problem i'm seeing is that i find it only online.And the shipping is horrendous for one small bottle.It would set me back almost $20 for said product.
And i see that the 20% off coupn expired as well.So what does one do?
I cannot see it costing $8.50 to ship a small bottle.Way too much.
I ship USPS Priority all the time and it never costs that much.

Ideas??

Jim

This comes from the HeadBlade MySpace site (http://www.myspace.com/headblade)

TYPE IN THE CODE "MYSPACE" DURING CHECKOUT FOR 20% OFF YOUR ORDER

I hear your concerns with buying just ClearHead online.  This is why I have decided to just shop from HeadBlade.com when I purchase their products.  This way I can get a refill kit or several products so that it makes it worthwhile to pay the shipping.

Or, you could decide to buy several bottles of it to justify the $8.50 shipping cost.

While I am a huge fan of the HeadBlade its products, I found the shipping for little bottles of products expensive too, Jim.  You could try substituting St. Ives Apricot Scrub for the HeadShed, I have found little difference in results.  I have also switched to BaldGuyz Moisturizing Gel in place of the ClearHead and have had good results with that as well.   This should give you options.

Jim, like Paul says, St.Ives Apricot Scrub is awesome. I swear by it. Have never used the HeadShed though. You can pick up the St.Ives Apricot Scrub for around 4 dollars in any pharmacy.

Cheers,

Jesse

Thanks for the heads up(no pun intended).I have some of the apricot scrub and even though i know it works similar,didn't see some of the same ingredients listed.So i was not sure if it was used for the exact same reasons.
The Clearhead is for post shaving use.I thought the Headshed was equal to the apricot scrub.
The scrub works well in cleaning but i sure have a rather red head when leaving the shower  O0
I might place an order later on and use the myspace coupon.Maybe share with a sly friend at work.Split the shipping.

I will let you know when i order it and my reactions.

Thanks again!!

Dude look at the ingredients in that apricot scrub, if I can't eat it I won't put it on my skin! I like the the Headlube and other products are "mostly" natural ingredients, or so I think anyway. Maybe I was halucinating.

I was also concerned about the shipping costs.  So I just ordered about 5 bottles of Head Clear and the shipping was the same.  I'm good for about a year.  :@`
