Title: After Yellow & Black You Never Go Back
Post by: Rev Sly on May 07, 2009, 05:57:27 PM
How do I start this? Wow!!!!!!!!! I switched to the HeadBlade and I could not be more happy. For those of you who use the HeadBlade you will understand when I say that it has changed my head shaving experience. The shaving results are amazing compared to anything else that I tried. I nearly cried when I saw and felt the difference the HeadBlade and HeadSlick made in my shave. My wife is equally impressed and has commented several times that it is an improved feel and look. She said, and I quote, "Smoooth". So for anyone wanting to experience a great shave, both during and after, give the HeadBlade a try. And like my subject title I think you'll find - "After Yellow & Black You Never Go Back". I am also using the HeadLube Matte/HeadLube Glossy and love them as well. (Matte for casual & Glossy for dress)  8)

Glad you like the HeadBlade!  I also find that I get a better shave with it than using a traditional razor.

I love that you use matte for everyday use, then glossy for dress up, that's awesome! 8)

One thing with the headblade is that its all in the preparation.  I've got the best results using the headblade in the shower with headslick, and bald guys shaving gel. Right now I am trying some king of shaves gel and its working great also.  A shaving brush combined with headslick will turn out to be a great experience.  3key things to remember when using the headblade is
1.  no pressure on the front of the blade, but keep the back in contact with your head at all times!
2. The slicker the surface the better the shave!  O0
3.  Find the blade that works for you.  I have tried the headblade triples, the cvs m3's which are the same as the blades that come with the headblad,  the persona atra generics, the gillette atras, and the sensor excel blades.  While all give great results it is much more comfortable using the sensor excel blades.  The gillette atras come in a close second though!

Another vote here for the Sensor Excel carts. I did have to purchase adaptors from HeadBlade, though, but they are not that expensive and I have not broken one yet.

Love the Headblade!  Used it since day one.  I've had a few cuts, but nothing I haven't experienced in regular shaving.  Septic pencil is a great way to stop the bleeding.  Hurts like Hades, but the bleeding stops immediately.  I have found that the more I use Headblade, the less it happens! :)

As you should be.  Headblade is very unforgiving.   :(

Hey mouse, keep the headblade in your cabinet  ;D.  Don't let it touch your skin.
You can try to sell it.

The headblade is a great razor once you get the prep, technique, proper shave cream/gel, and find the blade that best works  for you.
