Hey everyone, just signed up but i've been a long time reader an finally decided to join the party.
I am 30 now, but i've been showing significant signs of hair loss since i was about 21. I've always shaved my head with a 0 with clippers. I always got lazy due to the amount of cleanup that was necessary so i would let my hair grow out for weeks at a time and then finally get the strength to buzz and clean again.

It was only about 20 days ago that i decided to shave my head every other day to minimize clean up, and to hide the balding completely.

I stick with a regular remington head shaver, but i remove the clippers and shave that way...i've been doing that for almost 12 years. I finally decided to shave (used a Fusion proglide, WTG and ATG, and absolutely loved it. Since my head is used to shaving with a trimmer, i don't get that much irritation and bumps. I was literally able to scrub the stubble areas that i missed on my front to back and back to front passes . I absolustely love it.

I rushed and got the headblade sport, and headslick...and even though I didnt nick or cut myself in anyway, I felt the entire procedure was awkward and not satisfying. I guess i'm just used to being able to fly through the entire process with the fusion and I couldnt get a lot of the same areas with the headblade .

I've read a TON of mixed reviews on the head-blade, some love it, and some dont...my only thing is that I love to have that baby smooth shave after i'm done...and i've read that a lot of users don't go for that when using the head-blade (it will look smooth to other people, and only we will know that it's not baby smooth).

I found it hard to go from bottom to top on side of the head, which is where i like the smoothness to be also. but going front to back wasnt bad either.

I tried the CP3 blades on the HB also (Gilette custom plus), but i didnt feel a big difference compared to the 3 blade...maybe a little less irritation, but i didn't get a smooth shave with either. Nothing really compared to the fusion proglide, but who the hell wants to spend 30$ for a pack of 8 ?

Anyway, that's my long winded intro, i plan on being a regular here and I'm glad i found this place.
I'm not going to give up on the HB just yet....im trying it every 3 or 4 shaves and anything I missed with the HB, I'm using the fusion to finish up. Mainly because i dont want to see the HB and HB triple blades just collect dust 

I also bought this razor for missed areas , let me know what you guys think of this, and please....honest opinions only, i can't learn if i don't get critiqued

Hey Chav, i've read most of your posts about your hB issues and i have to agree with you as well. Is it the general consensus of this forum that you're not going to get a baby smooth shave when using the HB, and that the HB will just do what's necessary? Or do people actually get the same save as us Fusion guys ?

Welcome to the party, Junior! I've honestly never used the HB. Looks way too gimmicky for my taste. Disposable Mach 3 razors give me a smooth clean (and quick!) shave every time. 14 for $25 at Costco. In the end, stick with what works for you. Good luck in your razor quest!

Glad to have you aboard! 

I've always run with Gilette... starting with the mach 3, and then the 4, and now the fusion 5 blade lol. I noticed the non-power gets closer for me. The microfins lift the hair, the 5 blades chop a lot of it down, and the lubrication strip that lasts for all of about 5 seconds softens the hair.

I just hate that the refills are so damn expensive and dont stay sharp. They can make a better blade, they know what they are doing by only giving the blades an edge to last for a short time. It would probably help if I didn't have such coarse hair.

Welcome 

Welcome to the party. The wisdom you have with regards to head shaving is very much appreciated. Looking forward to ,ore of your inputs.

Welcome aboard! Have a Headblade, but haven't been using it because other razors (so far) have been doing a better job. Good Luck and post often!

Welcome to the Forum, Junior!

I'm a HeadBlade user.... I love mine! Your comment about the HB not getting a super smooth shave is incorrect. I guarantee you my shave is just as close as any shave you get with a stick razor. The HB just takes some time to get accustomed to.
