I'm going to try this for sure! I've been going back and forth between my fusion proglide and my HB and have been finding negative points with both...proglide doesn't get the top of my head as smooth as the HB does, proglide provides more flexibility, etc but the HB + these blades may be the answer! Thanks!

Update: I picked these up this morning after I found my black adapter and WOW! Closer then ever, nice smooth strokes and a lot faster! I think the black adapter (sensor) blades really have more flexibility and seem to move over the contours of my head. I've found my method. Thanks for sharing this one.

I agree on the black adapter part also. I feel any blade using the black adapter moves with the shape of the head better.

I found the same thing at a local pharmacy but instead of being called custom plus 3 they were called custom 3 - same concept but maybe the strip is different ? Anyway they fit fine and they are 100x better than the HB blades IMO.  I hope they never run out :-)

I might order 100 just in case

I haven't tried the Atra or sensor blades. My thinking is that these Custom Plus 3's may not be superior to the Atra or sensor blades just because they are supposed to be higher quality. The thing for me was to find the best blades I can for the HB on my tight budget. If you can afford the Atra or Sensor and don't mind putting the money out on a regular basis, you might like those better.

Heck I have a Schick Hydro 5 which I love but the blades are 12 bucks a 4 pack. I cant justify using that on a daily basis.

Electric - if you like th Atra's try Wilkinson Sword's Atra equivelant. Walmart has them for about 3.50 for 10.

• Change: Know that nothing stays the same.
