Question for Head Blade users

<< < (5/10) > >>

PBurke:
weasel, i shave in the shower and it usually has enough pressure to clear the hair. i shave everyday though. that might help since the hair is so short when i shave. try that and let me know. there is a thread about prolonging the life of razors that might give you some hints. good luck.

I am using the original, not the sport..btw. The first few strokes as the HB was easily gliding across my skull, I was thinking...."Man, why havent I been using this all this time?". It was working like a dream, and shaving perfectly. It was when I had to deal with getting the hair unclogged from the blades that I remembered why I stopped using it. After a few minutes of shaking, tapping....kinda, running water on it and finally swearing, it was back on the shelf and the Fusion was back out finishing the job. Didnt work as well, but at least I could functionally use it.

I realize the issue I have with the HB is 100% the lack of ease getting the clogged hair out of the blades. Its so small there is no way to 'tap' it out like I do with a standard razor. I really have a hard time understanding why everyone likes it so much. Its as if they arent having the blade clogging problem I have.

Please, if there is a HB representative around here or someone that knows how to solve this problem, send me a PM or post on here.

I agree the fusion is much easier to unclogg than the blades for the HeadBlade, or any other razor for that matter.  I also shave in the shower and have a showerhead that can be removed from the wall so its easy for me to blast the hair out of the the razor blades.

JB is the HeadBlade rep that floats around here and may have some suggestions for you.

Medic aka Rocko:
An old toothbrush works wonders for clearing the blades.  I suppose it also depends on how frequently you shave, and how thick the hair is.  I generally use the toothbrush a couple times during the shave.

Bald By Choice:
Head Blade Sport rocks! The wheel and the cushioned blade make it glide really easy!

PigPen:
I found that water pressure makes all the difference in the world when trying to clear the hair from the blades. For example, we were visiting some friends and they had set up their fifth wheel for us to stay in, SERIOUS lack of water pressure in those babies. That's the only time I've ever really had a problem rinsing the hair out. As long as the water is good and warm too, that will make a difference.

Hope this helsps Weasel
