How to use the HeadBlade
The Zook:
Hahaha... I guess I didn't realize there was a right and wrong way to put on the adapter, don't feel too bad.
EDIT
Ahh, I missed the Sensor part... those are a little different than the Atra's.
Glad you figured it out though!

The little adapter things wear out over time, which is why they sell replacements and include one with the headblade branded blades you buy.

Hey guys! First post!
I've been shaving the dome for nearly the past couple of weeks. I've shaved before, but mostly just for curiosity's sake. Have to say, I do like it, esp right after the shave. Damn, that's a smooth dome!
I was using the Mach 3 but found the motions were awkward and my arm would fatigue from holding it up in the air so long. So, based on suggestions I found while lurking here, I sought out and bought a HB a couple of days ago. First thing I did yesterday - hadn't even tried it out yet - was drop it it the shower and broke (what I didn't know at the time was) the adapter. Rats! Exchanged it for a new one and gave it a shot this AM.
Wow!
A little weird at first - totally different but a very natural motion for shaving. HB came with a triple blade and the shave is MUCH closer that with the M3. I was very conscious of keeping pressure off the blade and actually had to force the blade back onto my head a few times. LOL Hair grows a little weird in the area from the top of my head down to around the tops of my ears so, while I got it shaved, I found I was lifting the wheels to get the blade closer to my ear to begin the upward stroke. Going forward, I figure I'll just trim up with the M3 after my main shave.
Much easier to shave around the ears though. Using the base of my hand as a pivot, I flip the ear down with my thumb and just rotate my hand/HB from the front of my head, around the top of the
ear and down to the neck. Nice! Do the same in the opposite direction and it's pretty clean shaven!
Not a cheap razor at $15 (Canada, Shopper's Drugmart), but it does a nice job. If any Canucks know of cheaper places to buy HB products (esp the adapters - I figure with dropping it every now and then, I'll be going through those), I'd love to hear your suggestions. My local Wally-Worlds have no HB products. :(
Wife is not so sure of the shaven dome (she prefers a bit of hair, like a #1 cut), but she did think this morning's HB shave felt kinda sexy so we'll see. :D

Post up an Intro in the Intrduction section and tell us a little about yourself.
Again, welcome and keep it slick, SLY and smooth. 8)

Ok, because I've only been sly for just over a week and I'm desperately trying to learn how to do this right, I'm just going to ask....I found this short video on YouTube, is this really how smoothly and QUICKLY you shave with a HeadBlade? He moves the HB so fast over his skull, I was amazed. Is this the right way, or the wrong way, to use this little sucker? I noticed that the founder of HeadBlade was there for the shoot, even in the video, so I am assuming that he agreed with the technique of they wouldn't have used it for advertising, would they?
Thanks!
