Sorry you feel that way. But there are plenty of other members who agree with me

Maybe Scots is a different language, but it sounded to me like you are saying that Fusion does it--i.e. slices the noggin--everytime.  As a devoted Fusion user who has never drawn blood w/ my Fusion, I thought it a strange statement.

I've been using the HB for over a year. Here are my observations for old and new HB users alike.
Please feel free to add your two cents.....

I have both nicked and cut myself with the HB. A few pretty bad cuts too. I've noticed that this usually happens when I do one of two things.
1) Try to get those couple extra shaves out of the blade (I've stopped doing this!)
2) If I rush my shave.

I NEVER cut myself with the HB going with the grain..... it's always when I'm going against the grain.

I would say the "no pressure" rule is a bit of a misnomer. I actually feel that you NEVER put pressure on the front of the HB (above the blade).... BUT, I think a small amount of pressure on the back of the HB (above the wheels/pad) is a good thing. That little pressure keeps the HB against your head AND actually prevents you from having pressure on the blade end. No pressure on the blade end = little or no cuts/nicks.

mike how many shaves can you get out of a headblade btw? i dont want to make the mistake of trying to get that "extra shave" out of it and end up cutting myself AGAIN.

yeah, that's totally true. I guess I always think that is known when I say "no pressure" I mean no pressure on the blade only. I'll remember to add that from now on, too.

On that one, I think it depends on what kind of blades you use. I probably get 2 weeks worth of shaving everyday out of one Sensor Excel blade.

[Ghost1988]

what about the triple blades the headblade comes with? same time about?

[Cam]

I have no idea about those. I'm going to use one for the first time today, since I got a new HB last night and it came with the triple. If I like it, I'm sure I'll keep using it until it gets dull. I get back to you after my shave tonight and let you know if I'm going to keep using it, lol.

[Ghost1988]

alrighty.

[Mikekoz13]

I get a week from the HB triples. Your mileage may vary since I have really nothing but a few hairs I'm cutting from the whole top of my head due to MPB. But I do have thick hair in the horseshoe.

I use the CVS triples sold at CVS stores. They are dead ringers for the HB triples except for the color of the lubricating strip.

[Cam]

Yeah, so I tried to HB triple tonight and... if they stopped making the sensor adapters, then I COULD use them, but for me, the Sensor Excel is the only way to go!

[Park99]

Hey Ghost. I cut my head too. It was a deep cut. I think it the triple blade that cause to cut your head. I use headblade too. I have to stop using triple blade. There is something wrong with the triple blade. My brother cut his head too, he was using triple blade from headblade. So I really think it the triple blade that cause it. I am using Gillette Sensor Excel blade now. They run smooth. It the double blade. I go with the grain.

[Tor]

I get about 2 weeks worth from my Atra blades (2-blade) on the headblade. The HB is all I use on my head, even around the ears  . Just be smooth, no downward pressure, and replace the blades before you think you have to.
