Title: HeadBlade vs Xtreme3
Post by: jimbo48 on December 02, 2012, 08:45:26 PM

Has anyone compared the results of using the HeadBlade vs the Schick Xtreme 3?  I have been getting the closest shaves ever using the Xtreme 3 wthout razor burn and nicks.  Does the HeadBlade give a better shave?

I actually use both, Jimbo. The Xtreme3 is my razor for the beard, as well as touch up on the sides of my head. I use the Headblade to go both back to front and front to back on the head.

I've never used the Xtreme3 to shave all of my dome, just touching up. I would imagine it does a good job. I just prefer the ease of the Headblade.

G'Day Jimbo mate,

Like schro I use both. I shaved my head and face with the Extreme3, I was never happy with the way it shave my head. I decided to try the HeadBlade ATX after considering it for a while, I am glad I did, it gives me the best head shave that I have ever had, smooth as, and my shave lasts longer than any other razor I have used (and I have tried plenty).

I am still using the Extreme3 on my face, funny enough it gives me a pretty good shave on my face but sucked big time on my head. Go figure!

 I am thinking about going to the safety razor after reading the good reports from Warhawk and the other safety razor devotees.

In saying all this Jimbo, it helps a great deal if you prepare the head and face before and after you shave.

Extreme III is my usual head razor.  Nothing else I've tried is as effective or as easy.  Hated it on my face though!  Give me a DE or SE any day!

I never had luck with the extreme 3. I've been a Headblader for a little while now.

I wanted to love the HeadBlade but unfortunately the few times I tried it, I gave myself some pretty bad gashes, figured if I tried again it would just be insanity lol! I love the xtreme 3 I get the slickest shaves with them and can use 1 for 3 days usually. I do love HeadBlade's products though I use headslick everyday. That  with a few drops of shave secret and I am one shining chromedome!;) Man it's great being bald!
