Title: Head blade...I finally bought one
Post by: DanDan on May 07, 2008, 11:41:21 AM
I've been kinda avoiding the headblade. It always sounded like a gimmick to me and a good way to slice open your scalp. Boy was I wrong.

After taking over a hour to shave my head with a xtreme 3 razor one night I finally broke down and bought a headblade sport..

It took about 10 minutes and was the closest shave I've ever gotten on my head. The head slick sample they included worked pretty well and I've gotten 3 shaves out of it.

The headblade shaves so close I actually don't have to shave my head as much as before unless I just want it perfectly smooth. So if I wanna be lazy and not shave my head for a few days I can without having a fuzzy looking head. Haha. ''

That's great Dan.  Headblade convert here too.  When it works, it works well.  More fun to be sly when it takes less time.

Dan-

      I'm a HB user also...... a container of the HeadSlick will last for months. I received my first bottle of HeadSlick as a Christmas present and it is just now about empty. It lasted four months and I shave everyday first with the grain and then re-lube and go against the grain.

Great stuff............

I agree with you.  The HB is awesome.

I've been wondering myself if the HB is worth the coin...

Sounds like everyone likes it...

Might just have to break down and get one myself!

Glad it worked for you!

HeadBlade Sport for me too!  (Wish I had a clear one!  :@`)

Just remember, especially as the blade gets a little used... NO downward pressure!  YEOWCHY! :o

I find my HB is getting used less and less. I started out great with it but it seems every time I try to use it I keep cutting myself up.

After using a fusion for a while, I picked up the head blade a week or so ago.  Not a bad shave at all.  But no matter how often I use the HB, I always seem to go back to the fusion...more blades I guess.  Plus, I found the Bald Guyz products to be just perfect....baby butt smooth each time.  Head Slick comes in a VERY close 2nd for me.  Keep it sly guys!

HB Sport fan here. Used with a triple blade cartridge I think it's a great shaver. Love the Head Slick too.

I actually bought the HeadBlade before I decided to take it down all the way. Anyway, I went to my local CVS, was looking around at the razors, and grabbed a HeadBlade. Well, while I was looking at the razors, there was a Sly dude who was stocking the shelves in the same aisle. He actually came over and asked me if I had ever used it before, and how it's kind of tricky at first, but that if you can learn to use it right, it works well. He even told me that if I didn't like it, I could bring it back and he'd refund my money. I thought it was a nice gesture. Actually, the first thing that popped into my head after this encounter was, is this guy on SBG.com?  :*))
But I've loved it since the first pass I made on my head. It makes shaving the back and sides of my head so easy. Just gotta watch out for the ears, I've nicked the back of my ears a couple times when I was in a rush.

HeadBlade for me too, it's the best tool for the job: shaving your head!

Pair it with an Atra plus and Headslick or Bald Guyz Ultimate and you can't get any better.    O0

Head Blade and Aveno. 5 minutes in the shower and the way I go. Wouldn't do it any other way.

My g/f bought me the headblade sport as a gift  O0 and I used it for the first time last night.  I was happy with the job it did, but got a nice-sized gash behind my ear.  I'm considering it my intiation, and will continue seeing how it works for me.
Used the head slick sample too.  good stuff

I gave it a fair go, trying various blades and all... got tired of getting cut and in the drawer it went.

I think if your head is relatively round without much 'character' as I like to call it, you're fine... but throw in a skull bump or 5 and you're rolling the dice.

Back to the Panasonic 8043 or Fusion for me (will be trying the Mach 3 tomorrow morning).

One thing the Headblade taught me was the head bleeds! (A lot)
