I just bought a rolling Razor from Rolling Razor dot com and it took 2 days to get here and I was happy with that. I got home and put it to the test. I have tried the head blade but the Mac 3 still was my #1 but this razor is unbelievable. Not only did it have a suction mount for the shower it glides in both direction with the precession that gets 5 stars in my book. I used the Mac 3 in the shower for years and never thought a razor was going to take its place but with this new technology it leaves my head with the perfect shave. The performance is so easy and it works with your fingers so what ever way you decide to control the razor it follows your lead. WoW. Has anyone here tried this product yet? If so what do you think? If not I suggest you check out the website and give it a roll. Literally!! Rolling Razor. “Where the razor meets the dome” www.rollingrazor.com I am also running a special on my bald head shine the month of October so anyone who buys a single bottle of bald head shine get cue shield 55 spf Head shine protection free. Thanks Tyler and sly bald guyz www.baldheadshine.com

Never heard of it but just watched the video and found it interesting...... O0

I wonder why they call it "rolling" razor,, the HB Sport rolls more than it. Interesting though. What does it use for blades. I didn't have a lot of time to check out the entire site.

I been putting this razor to the test and let me tell you I have found a long term razor aside from my electric water proof razor. You put it on your index finger front to back and side to side with no nicks. Technology is really amazing on this razor. 4th time using it and I have yet to find a flaw. getting better at the stroke with the blade. Practice makes perfect so I can make a nice video for all my bald buddies to see the effectiveness. Mac 3 no more. O0 Bald king

Hey, Baldking. How does the blade costs and durability compare with the Mach III?
-
Choices choices.....hmmmmm which way to go. Headblade or Rolling Razor???????????????????????
-
I agree, it is a nice setup... However it wasn't quite as instant for me, there was a learning curve because it 'is' different. You pretty much throw out everything you have learned about shaving.
1. The cartridges are rounded.
2. The grip is completely changed.
3. You can shave in both directions without adjusting your hold.
It was easier for me to shave my face than my head, but feel I could have easily mastered that if I had given it more time.
Thumbs up though, no doubt. As another bonus, I found their shave oil and cream to be well made and had a nice scent to it also.

Thats a good question. I'd like to ask the audience! O:O

No thanks.... I'm sticking with my HeadBlade. Best tool for the job.
And at 7.95 for four cartridges!, c'mon man.
I'd use a Fusion before that gadget. :/O

Well i received my rolling razor last night, and I used it this morning. As of now, I give it thumbs... down. Atleast for the headshave.
As Lucky suggested in a previous thread, practice on your face. I did so, and it worked decent under my neck - no irritation, as I usually get in that area; So I was happy about that. After 'apricotting' the dome, and latering it up with headslick, I started with the RR from the back of my head. Maybe I wasn't skilled enough with the razor yet, but I had to take numerous swipes to get a closer shave.
Bottom line, I was in a hurry for work, so I just grabbed my Mach 3, and I was able to get a closer shave with ONE scrape than I could with 3 swipes of the Rolling Razor.
I will test this product a bit more and try to master using it, but even when I used it on my face, I could tell that this was not just a 1 or 2 swipe blade. The benefit is it's designed to not cut or irritate, which is good. But for me, I'd rather risk getting cut with a closer shave.
I plan on using it for my face, but sticking with the M3 for the crane.

It's tough to get used to, especially with typically one blade touching at a time... you really have to make sure the angle is right, and with a rounded area like the head, it's tough... much like using a single edge DE razor in my opinion.
I'll be trying this out soon:

Is this spam, why are some posts exactly the same?
-
Briz... the majority of the posts in the thread are 4 years old. I think this thing came and went.

Thanks Mike. I didn't notice the dates but the thread suddenly showed near the top of my page on Tapatalk!

I seem to remember hearing about the rolling razor and how it sucked. For the life of me I can't recall where I heard about it.

The Rolling Razor is still being sold. I was considering trying one, but the curve of the cartridge has me concerned.
This is not a stacked blade setup where the 1st blade pulls out the whisker and the following blades shear it off. No, this puts it in the single-edge-on-your-skin-at-a-time category which isn't the way to a fast, nick-free shave.
