I'm a huge HeadBlade fan. Just take your time ... and gradually it will become faster. But what's the rush? Enjoy the moment.

I'm also a big fan of the HeadBlade. Currently using the ATX with a HB6. I also have piles of HB3 and HB4. I've used them all and each seems to do a fine job for me. Not really too sure if a HB6 works better than a HB3 for me. They both seem to do the job.
One thing that I have done, that works for me, is during my touch-up phase I hold the ATX between my thumb and 1st/2nd fingers. I do this so that I can only have the blades contacting my head. Now I know this would not be for everyone but I have found that on some parts of my head no matter which direction I come at I still feel stubble. Holding the ATX in this fashion allows me to get the business end of the ATX at the right angle. When I hold the ATX as described I'm cautious to go slow and just affect the area where the stubborn stubble is. -

I like your HeadBlade attack plan, I use a very technique to get a good smooth finish.
Also I'd like to mention I found a good source and price of HeadBlade 3's but I'm not sure if the forum allows posting this type of info. -

IMO, the ATX because it has more blades and you can use it in any direction with minimal or no cuts. my 0.02 -

For me, I get a closer shave with the Sport.
When I tried the ATX, I just couldn't get the pressure right to get an even close shave and I also had issues with above my ears. I tried the 4 and 6 blade cartridges and also the 3 blade sport cartridge on it and had similar results with all of them.

I just purchased the ATX, but haven't used it yet.
I shaved it last night with a Gillete 4 blade last night and it worked fine. Did a little research then found out about the ATX and had to go get one.
Do you all recommend some sort of prep other than hot water before you shave?

I am a big fan of Shave Secret, sold at WalMart for less than $4 per bottle. Use 5 drops mixed in with your shaving soap/gel/cream and it makes for a smoother shave. It also can be used alone to shave. Oh, BTW welcome to the forum! -

Personally I don't, I have always found that it makes everything drag more.
YMMV -

As long as you didn't have any irritation, then you should be good.

Well, 2 nd shave today and took the advice on these forums and bought a brush and some shaving soap. Still used my Gillette sensor with 3 blades but with a new handle. All went fine! Shaved over the sink. Took awhile but no cuts etc.
Used a moisturiser then afterwards! -

Maybe I'm a mutant but I rocked the perfect baby butt right out of the gate with my ATX. I sat here for the rest of the night watching the idiot box and rubbing my freshly shaved melon. It was nice.
