Hey guys glad to be here.  BaldRob invited me a few weeks back and Im just now getting around to it.  Ive read through a few of the forums and you Sly Bald Guys definitly know your stuff.  Question for you.  I have been shaving for about 10 years mainly use Gillett Mach 3 but tried a headblade a few times.  I really liked the idea and was excited when I first tried it but was dissappointed in the fact that it didnt go as low as I wanted it to.  I really was looking forward to a completely bald shave but I found the head blade left slight stubble.  Maybe Im doing something wrong here.  Anything anyone might have noticed with this in the past?  Thanks for your input guys.

Welcome to SlyGuys, Mix!

I too liked the idea the HeadBlade ... it's actually quite brilliant. 

But in my case I've been getting a great close shave using the Fusion.

So the way I look at it is....if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
