I prefer the Mach3 - I've tried Quattro and Fusion, but Mach3 does the best for me. I salute those of you that love your HB but I got so tired of fooling with it I gave mine to Timmmmmmay.

Scott, no apologies necessary. The ends justify the means in this case. If the Mach3 is your weapon of choice, it's all good.

Works great for the top of my head, but once I get to the sides and back, it just ain't cuttin' the mustard. I'm sticking with my Mach 3. I go against the grain all over. I guess it's easier on top, since my hair was leaving me anyhow, but the ears....yeah, that's a real pain in the ass. I aim for perfection all over. True that most people aren't going to know if you're 100% smooth just above the ear, ect, but i'll do the "headrub" and realize that it's rough, and it will throw me off. But, like Timmy said, everyone is different. It doesn't matter HOW you get there, it's THAT you get there.

Since we've all shave our faces (me for 30+ years), we can tell when a shaver isn't. I agree with you. The Headblade works great on the top of the dome but on the back my buck knife would be better. I'm going to try some different blades with it to see if that helps. It's only been 4 days but the smooth feel is a lot better than the lava rock feel. Tho the wife likes it on her feet. Don't ask how we got to finding that out.

Hey all I told you I would finally buckle and try just a razor....it was like I was in a foreign country. I couldnt keep the blade flat on my noggin.....it just felt awkward as hell. I truely did try it though....but ended up finishing off with the HeadbladeSP...
I will just resort to the ol saying...If it aint broke...dont fix it.

The first time I ever shaved my head, I thought I would use a normal Fusion razor, however I found it very awkward to get the back of my head. So I said, you know what, let's try out this Head Blade. Fell in love with it ever since. I shave with the grain on the top and back, so the HB is easy enough for that. And then on the sides, I basicall go sideways, so like from my temples towards the back. No complaints yet!

I was sitting around the other day doing my media mogul stuff (drinking beer) and decided to try a modification to my head shaving, which I've discovered is every 2-3 days. I use the HB like a lawnmower (best description), slow strokes and then trim up with a Gillette Mach 5. Once you get used to the HB, it's 1 stroke and you have a 1 inch swath through the forest of fuzz. It seems to be the speed that you go has a lot to do with the number of strokes needed to get to smooth skin.
I'm thinking about building a 20 blade razor for the ultimate close cut.
