How to use the HeadBlade
mahaw90:
Just took the plunge! Bought headblade off amazon along with some headslick to see what the fuss is about. Am I right in thinking I'm going to rinse head under hot water for a minute, then apply (how much headslick?) then shave away nice and slow. Any help appreciated!

You don't need a lot of headslick, about 2 peas worth should suffice. It's tempting to get those wheels going fast but simmer down Ricky Bobby, slow and steady. Keep the wheels in constant contact and avoid putting extra pressure on thfront finger near the blade. For the first few shaves maybe go WTG especially in the back of the head until you get the hang of it then try ATG.
Frontier Guy:
Yeah, 1 to 2 peas of HeadSlick (I'm frugal, so I'm more of a 1 pea guy). Rub it around and it will lather quite nicely.
I 'm right-handed, so I lather with my left and keep any residual lather on my hand throughout shaving in case I need a touch up. ALso, sometimes a few drops of water are helpful to revive the lather. Left hand also does the feeling around for any missed spots.
I shave only with my right hand. Some videos and several of the guys here use right hand for right side, left hand for left side. I tried it - and affirmed that I'm not that coordinated.
Enjoy ... and report back.

Cheers, all the videos on YouTube seem to be of people with already bald heads! So seems quite easy for them. Just hope with me being BBC with quite thick hair, that it will still work as good. Fingers crossed.

Hello Mark
It will work out fine, you will see. Just experiment with different generic blades to see which one will sheer through your thick hair successfully. I find the Gillette Contour Plus blades work brilliantly. They fit onto the yellow adaptor.
I remember using mine the first time and watching myself grimace in the mirror in anticipation of slicing my head like a potato peeler, but these fears were unwarranted as it is a super little gadget.
