Head Shaving, Grooming & Care > How To Protect Your Bald Head
Should I switch to Headblade? (Mach 3 vs Headblade)
skiking:
I would recommend the headblade as long as you use sensor 3 blades. I get a much better shave with the headblade and the sensor 3 blades don't gunk up much.
The Anvil:
I gotta say fellas That after using the Mach3 for a few days now, I really like it! I was starting with my HB, then cleaning it all up with the Mach3, but the last few times just used the Mach3 by itself. (first shave ever was the HB) The only reason I even have Mach3 razors is because my Mom bought them for my Dad, and he hated them. I have always shaved my face with Gillette Sensors, and still hit around my ears with them.
I like to draw, and paint and feel like I have more control with the long handle rather than the HB's placement in my hand. I will keep using both till my blades run out and then will decide what to stock up on.
Dome of Steele:
Alright guys, I bought a Headblade at Walgreens (it was $11 I think, and I couldn't find it at my WalM).
My first impression was good, I'll give awhile before I give a complete analysis as well.
The HB seems to be good for the top and front of the head; after making those sweeps it is still necessary to go against the grain on the sides to really get close. (I like that shiny smooth look and feel; and so do the ladies)
I could see how many guys wouldn't like the HB at first bc the mechanics of using it are so different from a conventional razor. But I like the feel of it, it makes the razor an extension of my hand.
I will still keep my Mach 3 too though.
IRONHORSE:
My 2 cents worth:
I, personally, had only bad experiences with the HB and used it only a handful of times before relegating it to the back of the drawer. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't avoid nicking my dome. And the time I was in a hurry?

I used a mach 3 for years, before switching to a 4 blade razor, and have been very happy with both - But in the end, it's all about what works best for you. I guess I'm just too "ham handed" for a HB.
THier:
I am by no means an expert,,, the TWO times I have used my Head Blade have been good experiences. It works great when using Head Slick,, but that may have been because the FIRST time I used regular shaving cream,, and I was slightly more comfortable when I shaved the second time. I have never tried anything else.
