Even if you don't use a Headblade razor you still may use some of the many products they sell; lotions, creams, clothing,...so what is your favorite HB product?
I guess the most used must be the Headslick, I know it is very popular. For me, I do not use it at all, I find there are plenty of other great creams and gels at much more affordable prices, plus nothing beats a good lather and the brush in my opinion
My favorite HB product is the Headshed Exfoliating Scrub. I have used many scrubs but this is definetely the best there is. It just gives me the best results, feels good and does the job.
I know it's a personal choice but what are yours and why?
-
headslick for me too
-
HeadSlick, also. I used to be a big fan of the HB razor but I've been having trouble with the triples for the last year or so. As a result I am shaving exclusively with the M5.
-
I'd have to say the razor itself, just an excellent piece of design and functional equipment, I'd love an s4.
@Buddha: try some Gillette custom 3 plus on the HB, best shave I've ever had.

Oh yes.

I have both the Sport and the S4 in my arsenal. I perfectly understand when you say you would love an S4. I had the same wish, eventually got it, and it is a very nice piece of 'equipment'. But, and I guess it is the added weight of the S4, you can't apply absolutely no pressure (if this is an essential HB rule, it is at a much greater effect for the S4). So I actually feel more confortable using the Sport razor.
Besides these two I also regularly use a conventional Sensor razor with double or triple blades, excellent results too, and I have established a routine and habits that allow me to shave clean in minutes.

I tried this a year or so ago after reading about it in here. I took a chunk out of the peak of my dome like you wouldn't believe. I had a piece of skin the size of a french cut green bean stuck in the blades. I might try going back to the Sensor Deuce carts, never really had a problem with those and I have plenty of adaptors.
Nah, I think I'll keep on with the M5. No sense fixing what ain't broke.

Ain't that the truth!
-
Well no fan of the Hb but use headslick

HeadBlade AND Headslick user.
VALLDO.... I think you should try HeadSLick. A couple of your points about it are incorrect. It is a little pricey BUT a bottle lasts a LONG time because you only need about a quarter size dollop to WORK UP A NICE LATHER WITH A BRUSH!!
I use it every time I shave along with a cheap brush... great lather.... and you don't have to reload the brush with more HS when you go to do your second pass (ATG). Just grab the brush and reapply to your head.

I went thru a whole bottle before I started using a brush. As I said, I find there are other great creams and gels out there, and they last a long time too (which is not to say the Hslick doesn't). Over on this side of the pond you won't believe what the HB distributors try to charge you for the creams and gels. Ordering direct from Headblade is ok but they charge a ton and a half for shipping
I have another unopened bottle of HSlick somewhere in the bathroom, so I will eventually give it another shot using a brush and creating a lather with it. Thanks for the suggestion
-
I need to try a brush too, I'll let you know how it goes.
-
This is a hard call. I like all of the head blade products. If you're talking about everything but the head blade itself,
I guess my favorite, though, is the glossy head lube.
The head slick comes a close second.
-
Oh Valldo.... I didn't remember that you were across the pond. In that case I would use other stuff too. I'm actually looking to try some other shaving creams because HeadSLick is being carried by fewer and fewer retailers in my area. The only retailer still carrying it is Walgreens and they are few and far between.
I refuse to pay the crazy shipping rates on HB products...... and yes I know we get 20% off if we order thru the SBG link but I still can't justify that shiping cost for a bottle or two of HS.
-
Headslick is my gold standard--with a brush. The problem seems to be that there are a lot of other gels and foams fighting for the same shelf space so it's harder to find a local store. The stores don't sell a whole lot of it because HS lasts a really long time. Maybe this stuff is too good to survive for that reason alone.
-
I gotta have my headblade lube -- glossy. I love the way it shines up the noggin. Oh yeah, and my headblade team shirt!
-
That's a great shirt Razorhead!
-
For me it's got to be the HeadSlick, fantastic product!
-
For the regular product line, I agree HeadSlick is at the top of the list.
But I really like the pump accessory they sell which fits onto the yellow bottles - so convenient to just get a squirt of HeadSlick, and later get a squirt of HeadLube. (I'll confess that I emptied out a couple of yellow bottles and am using them for my sunscreen and shampoo also.) http://www.headblade.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HB&Product_Code=pump&Category_Code=accessories (http://www.headblade.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HB&Product_Code=pump&Category_Code=accessories)
The "yellow bottle armada" is impressive.

I have just purchased:

http://www.headblade.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HB&Product_Code=913001&Category_Code=accessories
http://www.headblade.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HB&Product_Code=4020&Category_Code=C100000
http://www.mankind.co.uk/headblade-clear-head-post-shave-bump-treatment-59ml/10362339.html
I'm eager to give that last one a try as I've not heard many people mention it.

Wish I had bought one of them aswell! Next time I will!
-
Crazy as this sounds....I would say the HeadBlade (bumper?) stickers are pretty cool....I put one on my hard hat for work and about 30 people(mostly non-sly) people at work have asked me "Where can I get a sticker like that?"
-
Harry, what are them stickers? I threw mine away as I didn't no what they was. Silver stickers?
-
Mark, usually when you purchase HeadBlade via Mail, sometimes a yellow and black bumper sticker with the HeadBlade logo is enclosed. My hardhat is in my locker at work, but when I go back on Monday, I'll take a picture for you.
-
Did you manage to get a pic, Harry =)
-
Tomorrow, Mark, I promise (Sorry I forgot because I've been slaving in the grain plant due to upcoming harvest season)....
-
Good stuff!
-
Head slick and head lube

Been using this for about a week and it's really good, it's like bump patrol. only downside is the size of the bottle, only 2oz, wish they did a 8oz bottle.
-
I use Head Slick Mentholated. I love it. Find it much cheaper here in Florida, about $5 a bottle.
-
Mark, Did you get one of these in the mail?
-
Harry, I'm still waiting on my stuff from HeadBlade, I got this from a uk website. I will let you know if I do, I hope so! It's cool!
-
Mark, Did you get one of these in the mail?
Now that's a hard hat! O0
-
It looks to be OSHA approved to me. O0

Received order today from HeadBlade. Waited just over a week. Harry I received them stickers yes. I'm disappointed though as I'm missing part of my order. There is no HeadShed. I've emailed them so I guess I will just have to wait. Abit of a pain as I was really looking forward to using that the most.
-
Mark, that's our international postal service for you.....they'd mess up a wet dream if you let them ;D Enjoy the rest of your HB arsenal though, and keep us posted on how it goes! Isn't the sticker awesome, though!

Just had a confirmation email off HeadBlade for my missing headshed, shipped today. Fantastic! I'm happy again now
-
Good stuff! Nice use of the stickers, too!
-
..they'd mess up a wet dream if you let them ;D

In the shower
-
I use the HB stickers on my luggage. Easy to spot, and not to miss, when delivered on the belt after a long flight.
-
I get a lot of use out of this! It has a ton of pockets and places to secure all of your gear.
