Started with the Fusion, tried going with a Headblad... then chewed the heck outta my neck/back of my dome.  Care must be taken around the fleshy parts of big men's heads... or as my kids like to call it, "the neck meat!"

I use the Headblade for the bulk of the project, and then finish up any missed spots and above the ears with a Fusion. This combo seems to work well for me. Also, I've found that the gel is key too. I'm using the HB gel which works very nicely.

To HeadBlade!!, of course.
 
This is my tool of choice for the easiest and smoothest shaves.
I have used the HB since I started shaving the noggin' almost a year ago now, and I have nothing but great shaves and no problems at all.

The simple rule is if you give it time and take it slow, you will have no problems. From there all that you need to do is dial in which blade combo works best on your dome.

For me it's the Atra plus or it's generic counterpart. I also like the HB doubles and use both.
I don't get as close a shave with the HB triples, but I will use them.
 
The Sensors (doubles) really do not give me a good shave, with them I need to make many more passes, which ultimately leads to more irritation. If I happen to catch a sale on the Sensor 3's, I will buy them as they work best out of all Sensor blades for me.

HeadBlade all the way!

I've been scraping my dome clean with a HB for several months now and never encountered a problem...until yesterday. I can't blame the HB cause it was all my fault. See, during the previous days shave I noticed that the HB Triple blade was getting a little dull and that I would have to change it out. But I finished off that shave applying just the slightest of pressure to get the shave.

The next day I replaced the dull triple with a fresh blade and went to town on the noggin. But for some reason I musta thought I still had the dull blade on and applied just a little bit of pressure as I slid the HB up the nape of my neck. And of course you all know the result. The shower looked much like the one in the famous scene from the movie “Psycho.” :/O

Lesson: DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE TO A HEADBLADE!!!!
Tis better to have a bald head than no head at all.

HeadBlader here too.  Use the sensor trips also and seem to get less cuts with them.  Although I have to say the 1st month was a bit bloody till I got used to it and had removed all the little bumps on my head.  But as they say, "That which does not kill us only makes us stronger!"
