How to use the HeadBlade
cobbster6:
Just changed the blade in my Head Blade this morning and started to do the shave and almost scalped myself.
I am using the blades that came with the razor. May need to try different blades. any suggestions?

I was fine with Headblade supplied razor. No nicks. Then had a nick when I used the gillette mach 3 with the Headblade.
From my own experience, you have to experiment. And be careful and gentle with any new blade. OK, so it might not be quite as smooth, but you are more likely to be spared the dreaded scalping.

Im still not. Sure aboutthe HB but not going to give up yet

For Baldchav and Cobbster, it's all about pressure, if find that it's impossible to cut yourself if you put all the weight on the wheels, and lift your front finger off slightly. I have been using the HB for 4 months and now I'd never consider anything else. As far as the closeness of the shave goes, the more you use it the closer your shaves get, at first I was getting some stubble by the end of the day, now I still have smooth spots the next morning.

Agree with you.
Just starting using HB and gillette mach 3. You have to be so, so gentle. No pressure of any kind at all. And still got a tiny scratch just above my ear. But what I did get was the smoothest shave. And because there was no pressure, that was no razor irritation.
Nearly two months of daily shaving. What I am noticing is the scalp is taking on a natural skin colour. And not looking like a fresh shaved white cue ball !
