If you stick with the HeadBlade, go slow and follow the instructions, you will be fine.
I have been using it since I started shaving in '07, and I haven't had a problem. You can try it with different blades to see which one will work best for you. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than using the fusion.
I will not pay for five blades, especially when the Mach III does the job just as well.
The HB gets you just as smooth, once you get it down and your blades dialed in.
Try it again, see how it goes.
Keep it smooth.
