had a bad shave :(

I've also never been nicked with the fusion, except for going too fast and catching the top of my ear.  Bloody mess.

I with you on that.  Ears bleed like crazy.  I nicked my ear last month and it bled for a long time.

Quick story - when I was a kid, my barber cut the top of my ear really bad.  I was playing football then and had practice that afternoon.  Halfway through practice, the coach came running over to ask if I was okay.  It turns out, that ear just wouldn't stop bleeding and blood had been running out of my helmet and all over my jersey.  I was covered in blood.  The cut was so deep that it took about a week, before it finally closed up and stopped bleeding.

I've tried to be careful around my ears, ever since that.

Oh boy, nicking the top of the ear always sucks. I actually had a pretty gruesome shave earlier, I nicked myself a couple of times as well. It was my own fault though, I didn't have enough growth to shave again. I plan on trying out the Quattro soon, I hear good things.

Like Timmj said, make sure to keep pressure off of the blades.  You may also want to try a different blade on the HeadBlade.

Without sounding contentious...

Some people do better with a Mach3, compared to a Headblade. Don't be afraid to try different razors out.

I've never tried the headblade but I am really pleased with the shave I get from my mach 3
