Hey Guys I recently stopped using the handle on My Mach 3 and the shave has been way better no nics or nothing just the smoothest head ever. So I'm thinking bout using the head blade but not sure if i should (worried bout control issues with the head blade.)
So can anyone tell me how the head blade feels on the old noggin before I go get one?

So you just hold the blade in your fingers???

I am using the Headblade Sport for 2 months and find it easy to control.
I started with the triple blades and it took me about 2 - 3 weeks to get used to it.
Recently I changed to the double blades, I think they give a closer shave, but the danger of cutting yourself is a little bit higher (it happened to me ...)
But I cannot compare it to a standard razor because I never used one of these, for face shaving I have always been using an electric razor.
-
I really like using the headblade. The key to is keeping the back pad or wheels on the head at all times, and no pressure on the front of the blade. When you first start using it there will be a learning curve to it (some cuts might happen) but after you get the hang of it.. its a great razor to have. There are lots of different blades the most comfortable ones I have used are the gillette sensor excel cartridges, but can also get a great shave from the gillette atra blades.
-
Yup Dogstar just my fingers, i get way more control that way if that makes sense.
-
I use both the headblade and a Fusion. I really love the headblade for the control factor. But like everyone says...keep the pressure OFF the blade. The trick is not to rush the shave, and rinse after every stroke, so you have a clean blade each time. I highly recommend Headslick, to compliment the razor as it gives a nice smooth shave, and doesn't clog up. For added results, I use some Aveeno Positively Smooth shave gel, and do a second pass with a fusion.
-
Another thing I need to add is to shave in the shower it really helps to soften the hair and the skin to make the shave better.
-
I've had good luck with the headblade sport. It's really easy to use, doesn't take much time to learn how to use it.
-
I use the HeadBlade Sport and find no problems with the shave. As stated there is a slight learning curve to the HeadBlade but it is well worth it. I tried several other razors - Mach3, Mach3 Disposables, Schick Quatro, Schick Extreme 3, Gillette Fusion and found the HeadBlade to be my choice. I use the triple blades from HeadBlade and find that they give me a great shave combined with HeadSlick followed by HeadLube. I love the HeadBlade product line and would build a shrine to Todd Greene if I could. O:O

Thanks Everyone!!

Did you try different blades?

hi all,
I tried the headblade a few times and really didn't like the feel. I tried a couple different blades. Just wasn't for me.
I love my fusion though.

Gillette Fusion Power: IMHO there is nothing that comes close! I tried the HB for over a month but I found that it never really got as close as I could with my Fusion. To each his own, but I'm sticking with my Gillette!!
-
I like HB Sport and triple blades. Always have used it.
-
The old debate, HB vs Fusion/Mach III. I found the easiest place to use the HB was on the top of my head, and the hardest on the sides. Since I don't have much on top anyway, I've always preferred the Fusion, Power or plain. I've got control, and no cuts to speak of in nearly two years--DFWS.

About 2 months ago I bought a Rolling Razor on their website for my face and I really like the control I get from it. The three blade head is fixed so it acts more like a straight edge than the Fusion does. With a dual sided razor you are not replacing the blades as often either.
Since I went Sly (yesterday) I have used it for my noggin and I am pleased with the results. I did buy some of the sensitive skin blades and have used then exclusively since my first order. They seem to glide better. Anyway....if you like straight edge closness with lots of control I'd recommend the Rolling Razor.

It took a week or so to get use to using it on my face and since I am a noob I'm sure I'll get better using it on my head as time wears on. The key to closeness is the fixed, not floating blades.

Another Headblade vs the razor world thread . Headblade all the way, its easier and its quicker plus I'm proud to be a Headblader O0
-
I love my Mach 3, and the Headslick from headblade
-
This has been covered before as well:
HeadBlade all the way, it's easy and once you get past the first few shaves, it feels very natural. My choice for shaving the noggin'. I use it with the Atra plus or it's generic twin. O0

went and got the headblade last week. What could it ya know? I gotta say it made a huge difference, a lot of control and way less time than trying to use just a blade like i had been doing for the last two weeks.
-
I forgot my HeadBlade this last weekend when I went out of town for a wedding. My wife uses a fusion for her legs and so I used the Fusion with a new blade to shave my head. I have to say NEVER AGAIN! It took me 30 minutes to shave my head! And at the end I still wasn't as close as I can get with the HeadBlade. The Fusion is just not for me.

I'm about one week Sly now. I bought a Headblade Sport at CVS. It works good for most of my head but to really get it totally slick I still use my Rolling Razor to finish it off.
The combination cannot be beat!
