My 1st post here although I've always been checking out the site for the last couple of years. I finally ordered an ATX, had been waiting to find a UK supplier. Although I always kept my hair at a #0.5 buzz cut for this past few years, I finally decided to get a Headblade S4 and shave my head this summer and I quite like it although my family think the stubble look is better than totally smooth. I have only used my S4 six or seven times as I recently had surgery to remove a small lump from my scalp and I've been waiting what seems like an eternity for the scar to heal. I am hoping that since I was only a novice user of the S4, I should have less trouble adapting to the ATX. One thing I did notice was that I could never get the back and sides as smooth and clean as the top of my head, so I am interested to see if the ATX improves this, particularly as I have ordered the HB6 blades along with it.

That's a long wait.
Judging my your profile pic there, looks like you are fighting the fire of despair. -

To me it sounds like you're trying to use the method from the how to video where you go front to back. That method never worked for me, I have to make up and down passes on the sides. -

If it does the sides better, I may get it. That is my challenge- top is always great.

Not a fan whatsoever of the ATX. Shame really as I love HeadBlade. For me I will continue to use the Sport along with my HeadSlick HeadShed and ClearHead!

I have no problem with the ATX. I've used it 2 times and it does take some time to get used to it. So far, I like it.
What's the difference between the ATX and Sport? -

ATX you pull
Sport you push.
Totally different techniques. -

This is my first post. I started shaving my head about 6 months ago. So far I love it. I've been using the headblade sport for about 5 months and its awesome. I do get the odd cut with the sport and thought that I would give the ATX a try.
I got it in the mail on Monday and so far I'm getting the same patchy shave that some other people have complained about. I've tried to get the right pressure and just can't seem to find that sweet spot. Is there a trick to it or something?
I did switch out my sport to the new style HB4 blade and adapter and that is one of the best shaves that I've ever had. -

Can I use the adapter from the ATX on my sport and use the hb4/6? Seems a waste not using the blades. Cheers

With the ATX should I get a completely smooth head or is there some back stubble?

Seems to me you could just turn around the adapter on your sport and viola....atx. Does this not work? Still don't understand the fascination with the headblade. I tried it. Worked ok. Got a few good gashes and said why am I using something that can cut my ear off? Use the traditional handle with the M5 blade and have yet to cut myself.
