Welcome schro! I personally started shaving with a Mach 3 as well. That is until I ran across the HeadBlade at a local drugstore. Since then I haven't looked back. I ordered the HB Sport a couple of days ago, should be recieving it soon. Also ordered HeadShed and the new ClearHead. I'll give everyone a review on the ClearHead once I try it.

Dr. Noner here. No I'm not a real doctor, but I pretend I'm one in front of star wars figures.
It is a fallacy that dandruff will disappear once you shave your head. In fact many head shavers actually create dandruff but using harsh soaps on their noggin, thus drying the skin and causing it to flake.
The best way to prevent dandruff after you shave your head is to moisturize your head after you shave and before you go to bed. Also in the winter exposure to the elements will cause it to dry out even further.
Check in the product review section for some good lotions and welcome to slybaldguys!

Maybe it's time to upgrade the straight blade and give that a go before checking out the HeadBlade gear. Thanks, Tyler.

I used Sensor or equivalent generics for several years. If you're comfortable with that blade, there's nothing wrong with using it until you're used to shaving the noggin. It can also be used with the HeadBlade with the right adapter.
As far as going to the HeadBlade right off, it may actually be easier since you won't have to "re-learn" the shaving process. It does have a learning curve after you've shaved with a regular razor.
Good luck!

Thanks guys for all the valuable info.

Didn't see the question earlier about dandruff. On that note, I had a dandruff problem before I shaved the noggin. Now after about two days growth, my scalp gets oily and I notice flakes popping up. Everyday after Shaving I use the HeadLube Matte finish and it keeps the scalp good and moist. Toward the end of the day it will still get pretty oily.
