So yesterday was the first time I'd ever seen Headblade products in a store. I went to Walgreens thinking to pick up some more Bald Guyz razor cream, which was pretty good––it caused me to bleed sometimes from shaving too closely, but it was faster to use than canned shaving cream.
I didn't find the Bald Guyz at Walgreens, but instead found one bottle left of Headslick. The price, to me, seemed a little high (and inflated by Boston prices) but I decided to give it a try anyway.
Wow, this is great stuff! I was very impressed with how, with just a little amount of the headslick, I shaved my whole head faster and with minimal irritation. The smell is great, too.
I know this site is big on Headblade, so I thought that maybe some of those reviews were a little too glowing, but now I understand.
When I use up my blades for my Hydro 5, I'll def consider trying out a Headblade ATX.

Agree with you about HeadSlick. Use it to shave around the edges of my beard, too.
You're lucky to get in a shop. As far as I can tell, there's only one shop in the whole of the UK which sells HeadSlick. Otherwise, it's online.

I've been using HeadSlick for two years, so I'm obviously a fan. It works well with a brush, too.
-
I've got a bottle arriving in the mail here shortly. The price does seem rather high, but one bottle seems to last forever. As much as I like it, I do wish they'd come out with an Aloe Vera version. Sometimes I just don't want to smell menthol first thing in the morning.

Great product. One bottle usually can last me a year or even longer. Now if only the bottle didn't clog up so much....

Actually, HeadSlick is mentholated. Although I find that it doesn't seem as strongly mentholated as it used to and it doesn't have a strong odour.
I started using it in Nov 2012 and found that when I reapplied some for my second pass (back to front), I could actually feel a bit of tingle. Not sure if I just got acclimatized to it or if it is not as strong as it used to be.

I've been using head slick for several years now and love it, I don't think I will ever use anything else.
-
It lasts so long because a little goes a long way.
-
It's great stuff. I really like the menthol, it gives a nice cooling effect.
-
I've been using headslick since day one of head shaving. Don't use any other shaving cream.
One bottle lasts a LONG time.

Nice find (LOL on Boston prices!!) - I need to go out and see if there are any razor/shave shops around these here parts...
HeadSlick works great, my only beef with it is the nozzle is tough to close (HeadLube is the same way). I don't know if that has been anyone else's experience? The odor is a little odd to me - almost faintly medicinal. Not to knock it, a little DOES go a long way. I haven't tried it with the brush yet (LOVE lathering with the brush, that badger never had it so good! ;D ) and it does do it's job...very well.
I might try it tonight with the brush, I usually only use it for the soap.

I hadn't notice issues with closing, but the earlier tops had 3 smaller holes instead of 1 large one and they tended to clog. I picked up a couple of the pumps from the HeadBlade site for my HeadSlick and HeadLube, so no issues there anymore and they make it easier to get the right amount.

Tried Head Slick a couple of times and each time I have experienced razor burn. Had to go back to Shave Secret. I'm willing to give it another try though eventually. The combo of raw shea butter and Shave Secret has been working extremely well for me.

I've been using Headslick for a couple of weeks now and for my next shave I'm going back to my Neutrgena for Sensitive Skin Shave Gel. I don't know if my skin's changed or what but my previous rough patches have become very irritated bordering on burned since I started using Headslick again. Doesn't matter if I use my HB Shark or my Schick Hydro and that tells me it's gotta be the glide I'm using.
-
The problem could be the menthol. It is not an uncommon chemical sensitivity and by introducing it into rough spots and nicks you may have become sensitized to it.
I guess HeadSlick is not an option for me. I'm allegic to eucalyptus. :(

Yea, I've been using shave secret underneath my headslick and it works great, I think that's gonna be a staple of my shave routine from now on.

I'm willing to try the two together...

Count me as another satisfied HeadSlick customer.

Last year, starting prepping with a pre-shave oil 'king of shaves' before applying the HeadBlade slick. The two together revolutionised my head shaving experience.

I agree shave oil applied and then shaving cream works very well, virtually zero razor burn.
