Welcome to the SBG site, PHarrison. Good to hear you are a HeadBlade user. I've used the HB myself since I started shaving, and find it to be the best tool for the job. I have a routine similar to Hierophants', minus the baby oil.
I alternate my HB's; (sport,classic), my blade cartridges; (HB,atra,sensor) and cream/gel/oil; (Headslick, KoS).
Try different things to see how they work for you. But stick with the HB, once you get the hang of it, nothing's better.
