Hi all!
I'm new here.I'm from singapore and I've been shaving my head for 2 years now. I just want to ask some advice from all of you. I've been using headblade in shaving my head for over a year now. I''ve been using the triple blade and it works for me just nice. Then recently I tried the double blade of headblade and it doesnt works for me it get my scalp irritated. And because I'm here in singapore its hard for me to buy a new triple blade cartridge. So I'm planning to use the gillette fusion as a replacement. Any one of you using gillete fusion? Does it work well for you? How long will the cartridge last?

Hey Les,
I may be confused but are you wanting to use the blade with your headbalde?
If so, I do not think the make the adapter for it. But, I use the gillette S3 triples on my headblade, they are easier to find.
But, if you are looking to use the whole fusion, there are some people here that use it all out and love it.
I will let them advise you.

Hey Les,
First and foremost WELCOME to the SBG Family, we are glad that you've joined us. Seccond I've used the Gillette fusion as well as my HeadBlade, both do a great job of getting my head SMOOTH!!!!, However, you cannot match the comfort and controll that the HeadBlade offers. There are other blades that fit the HeadBlade, if you send mac@headblade.com an e-mail, he can hook you up with the sensor adaptor for the HeadBlade s you can use the Gillette Sensor Excell Tripple blades, also there are nock off brands equivilent to the sensor blades which will also fit that adaptor.
Hope this helps.
Tom.

Welcome Les.
I'm a HB user and I use the doubles without a problem.
I know we have several Fusion users. Hope they provide the information you're looking for.

Welcome to the forum les !! I use a fusion to do my face as well as the top of my dome. I change the blades every 2 weeks although I think I could go longer. I heard another fusion user on here who said he changes his blade every 3 weeks. I have nothing but high regard for the fusion... O0

I do not use the fusion, but good luck in your quest.
Enjoy the forum!

Hi!
Thanks for the quick reply and warm welcome. Thanks for the advice too. I am planning to buy the gillette fusion this coming days and I will let you know the result and comparison with the headblade.

Welcome to the group Les. I have used the Fusiion since Gillette brought it out and I have nothing but praise for the job it does.

Welcome Les, I too prefer the trips. They don't irritate and do a great job. I have not had a good experience with any other blade than the HB ones, though.

Welcome to the Forum Les!! I use a Haedblade with generic triples. Great shaves!!!

Welcome Les!
I use my HB with the doubles and it works very good. But be careful, and think of rule No 1-10: No pressure on the blades!
Doubles make a smoother shave then Triples for me.
Good luck in your recherche.

Welcome to Sly Bald Guys! Let us know how your switch goes. My advice would be to try the Gillette Sensor blades on your HeadBlade.

hey les: welcome 2 the sly fraternity. glad that ya found us. i am a fusion (manual) user & i luv it. it keeps my noggin' the smooooothest. as far as "blade life" , it is different 4 every headshaver. i probably get 6-7 days out of my fusion. remember 2 spray your razor with rubbing alcohol after using it. the rubbing alcohol will extend the life of your blades.

I owuld recommend the Gillette sensor 3 vlades to use with your hb if you can find them, and I would imagine if they have fusion then they would have sensor 3

Yesterday I went to buy my new blades at the supermarket here in singapore first I look for the gillette sensor with 3 blade but I can't find one here. So Finally I decided to buy the gillette fusion. Because of excitement as soon as I went home I started to shave my head using the fusion.
At first I find it difficult to hold the razor because I was used to the headblade sports. I even have many stroke to make it super smooth as the headblade. As for smoothness its almost the same as the result of headblade but for me the main difference is its does not irritate my skin. Because in headblade sometimes my skin get irritated. But for fusion it does not get me irritated.
And in headblade I cannot shave everyday because it will make my scalp irritated when i use everyday. As for the fusion I will try using everyday and see if my scalp will be ok. Hopefully it will work well coz I really want my head as smooth as possible.
Can u guys give me some advice how you manage to make ur head clean for the whole day. Coz I see some new product in headblade website they have some kind of wet wipes to refresh your scalp through the day. Have you guys use it before? and can I use an ordinary wet wipes instead of the one specially made for bald?

Welcome to SBG's les, good to have you join us.
Your irritation may have come from too many passes. You also haven't mentioned what sort of shave cream or gel you use.
You said you were using a HeadBlade, were you also able to purchase HeadSlick?, You may want to give that a try if you haven't already. Great stuff.
There are also many good shaving oils out there for you to try. One of the best being Shave Secret, as many here can attest to.
Check out the headshaving section of the forum for more tips and info on products.
Good luck.
