Started using my HeadBlade last week and love it. Today I changed my blade to Gillette Atra doubles..OUCHHHHHHHHHHHH. One spot on my head looked like I had been in a WWE wrestling match. I tried not to apply alot of pressure but had a hell of a time getting that one cut to stop bleeding. Other than cold such as water or ice and pressure any of you have other methods to stop bleeding if it occurs?? Also any other suggestions about the atra double blades for the HeadBlade?

Paul:
I have the same problem with the atra's.   That's why I stick with the HB trips.    I bleed easily and the best way I have found to control a nick or cut is either with ice or the good old fashion stipic pencil.

xnewyawka:
Hammer, sorry to hear you had such trouble with the Atra's. They're my refill blade of choice.
 
It seems a few of you guys just can't use them. I feel for you, because not only do you get a great, smooth shave, they cost a lot less than fusion and mach III cartridges.

I decided to try the Personna double today, which is a generic copy of the Atra. Man, what a great shave I got. I usually use them on my face and they work well. I was changing my (HB) blade today, and figured I would give it a shot. No problems, even against the grain in back, and around the ears.
I was amazed. I think this is one of smoothest I've ever gotten the back of my head.
You may want to give them a shot, if they don't work for your noggin', you can always use them for the face.

I agree with Paul, a styptic pencil should quell the bleeding.

Have you tried any of the Sensor's yet?

Brkeatr:
I use a roll on styptic called NIK+AID....seems to work really well for me..... O0

hammerdrill376:
No I have not tried the Sensors. Maybe I just need to take it a little slower with the HeadBlade as I have never used these blades before.
