Anyone know of anywhere that stocks or sells HeadBlade products over here in the UK/Europe? I know a lot of you only have good things to say about there products so fancy giving them a go. I know you can get HeadBlade stuff on eBay and Amazon but it's real expensive compared to the HB site.
Cheers!

Mankind.co.uk is good, I don't know of any shops that sell HeadBlade stuff.

They did have the sport last time I went on, but that doesn't seem to be there now.

Quite fancy trying the ATX, I did price up an order from the HB site, wasn't too bad but then there was the $35 postage to get it over here as well.

I buy from www.headblade.com.ro

$35 postage? Wow! How heavy are those razors?

Really?? £75.00 ($120) for a HeadBlade Sport?? That can't be right!!

That was for some bottle off stuff too.

$35..ridiculous.
-
I can get the HB sport at my favourite chemist "Dis-chem" here for R150. Divide by 8 for Dollars, and by 14 for Pounds. Dollars and Pounds go very far here in South Africa! ;D

hmmmmmm........wonder if HeadBlade need a UK distributor!!! @#07

I've ordered from HB before but yes the shipping is quite a lot. Make sure you put the 20% off code in or click the link on this website. That will half your shipping costs.

lol Thought it must have been something like that, google translate must have just swapped the RON for a £ symbol!! You can get HeadBlade stuff in the UK but it's pricey compared, it's more in £ than it is in $, it still may be cheaper to get from HB direct. thanks for the tip off about the 20% code, I'd missed that!

Dude your wrong about postage
Subtotal $40.94 USD
Postage and packaging $12.60 USD
Total $53.54 USD
Which comes to £34.73 GBP
And im in uk
-
Btw that was for the atx and a pack of hb4 and hb6 cartages
-
The cost of buying foreign products is noticeably higher. But you always have to pay for the snob appeal. Seriously is there snob appeal among head shaving Brits by owning a new edition dual wheeled Head Blade? Where is the, "Chavester" when I need him?

I'm just going by what I saw on the screen, I didn't just pick a number out of nowhere! ;D
The order I put together was over $60 so maybe it triggered a higher weight category??
-
Hardly being a snob buyin a razor at $15.....
-
Maybe so gearhead did u also add like headlube or headslick or the alike to te cart as there quite heavy..
-
Yeah I added a couple of 8oz bottles!! Just tried it again but minis some items and the price has dropped so I'm guessing it is weight related.
Yeah, I don't really see what's snobby about buying something that people seem to highly recommend to do the job, it's not as if I have the full HB back catalogue in my bathroom, I don't even have a deceant razor as I have a beard!! ;D
-
Leave the bottles man . Theres someone on ebay called headbladeuk there quite quick with delivery ive used them before. Dont have the atx yet mind you :o)

He's long gone from the forum unfortunatly. Hope he is OK. Last time I heard from him he was pretty sick. Maybe if some of our English friends near Oxfordshire could check it out.
-
@Tom...yes I remember. Heart problems compounded with other ailments, right? My reference to him was kind of a shout-out.

If you live in London, consider dropping in at Carter & Bond's shop http://www.carterandbond.com/#&panel1-1
They stock all the HB stuff.
For me, their shop is between my place of work and my home. So during the working day, I place an order. Then collect and pay for the items on my way home.
-
My shipping was about $35 to uk, I had about 60$ worth of kit. Obviously the less you buy the least expensive it will be.
-
I just bought the ATX, and 1 pack of HB6 blades ( 4 cartridges). Total cost including shipping to the USA was $27.66 after the 20% discount,
-
Headblade is sold in the UK. Check out Headblades website or have a look at ebay.co.uk
I live in Spain and usually by off their website, having it shipped from the US within a week or so. My last order was just yesterday so I hope to have it sometime next week. I ordered the ATX, 5oz Clearhead, 8oz Headshed, 2oz Headlube Glossy and two packs of Sensor adapters.
All in all it was around 40USD with the 20% discount plus 18.90USD for shipping. As the USD is still quiet weak compared to the EURO I must have payed around 46EUR for all, shipped.
I guess I would not get it cheaper from any of their distributors in the UK. Only one pack of Sensor adapters would have been around 6.50EUR without shipping, the ATX probably around 22, 23 EUR
So for me the only choice is buying off their website, with the 20% discount which cuts your shipping into half or even more, and usually they put some samples and stickers in the box.
My suggestion if you buy on their website is that you add and delete different items in your cart and see what the shipping cost is. My point is that sometimes just adding a small 2oz bottle can skyrocket the shipping fees, whereas sometimes adding it just leaves it as it was, and so on.
