Hi everyone
as I'm new here my apologies if this has already been discussed.
After reading about it, I ordered the ATX and other associated goodies (such as the stand and case) from the HeadBlade website I am now eagerly waiting for it to arrive so that I can perform my very first headshave.
Today I looked at the ATX instructional video and it says right at the end that the spring needs to be replaced once per month. What?? Does anyone know about this? Thanks
Welcome Crowbar! Post up a proper intro in our Introductions section so that the rest of the members can welcome you and get to know you.
As to you question, Lynchy covered it pretty well. I would only add that you can probably stretch that month out a little. I use the Sport blade adapters on the ATX and I can't remember the last time I changed it. They seem to have a pretty long life.
Also, you can click on any of the HeadBlade banners on this site to get 20% off of you order. It also helps this site out. -

I don't think it necessary to change the adapter every month, I rarely change mine.

Found a four-pack of blades at Rite Aid Today. Already had the ATX, but could not find replacement blades. So I shaved with it today...It did a very nice job, took me roughly 10 minutes, and I was able to shave behind the ears, something I could not do with the Sport. It's nice to have something that you can use when you need a headshave fast.....I give it 8.5 out of 10

Try out the 6 blade cartridges when you get a chance. -

Wow... That's some pretty high praise!
I am digging the sport at the moment and wonder if its worth the cost of getting one posted to AUS?
Is it that much better? -

I may have to order those online...The pack of four blades was the last one on the shelf...though they still had the ATX blade itself still there.[quote author=Lynchy link=topic=17923.msg306457#msg306

Unlike the Sport, there is no wrong way to shave....and it took fewer passes than the sport did to get the scalp clean....The only downside is that you may have to touch up with a smaller razor in those hard to shave places, but that's no big deal IMO. -

I was hoping to receive my ATX kit last week, didn't happen, really hope it gets here soon.
What with all the positive praise it gets on this forum I can hardly wait to start using it. -

Received my ATX this morning, just in time for my morning shave.
The maiden voyage went well, no surprise, and most of all no blood letting.
I'm sure it'll get even better after a short learning curve and some minor adjustments to my technique.
The tiny size sort of took me by surprise when I opened the box, plus HeadBlades package security thingy caused a bit excitment when I was exiting the post office.
