• Definitely go ATX, it's far more user friendly IMO. I started with a sport but every time I ever cut myself it was with the sport and I have yet to cut myself with the ATX.

• ATX all the way mate! Far easier to use I think!

• Sport all the way if you want a close shave.  ATX is probably "safer" but it leaves a lot behind.

• G'Day Frangi mate 
  
  I use the ATX with the 6 Blade and I love it, gives the smooth as a baby's bum shave.
  
  Easy to use, no worries!!

• ATX all the way, I use a four blade and I have actually compared it to the fusion power and the Mach 3 and there was no comparison. The ATX was well above both in ease of use and how well it easily shaves the hair with little resistance or irritation. Also I have not cut myself once with the ATX. Get Headslick as well

• The Sport works better for me.  I think that the "wheelbase" on the ATX is too long to get into some of the valleys on my skull.

• I just started to shave my head in past week started with a Mach 3 and yesterday picked up a headblade sport. I love the sport

• None of the above I like to use a whole different razor set up entirely.
  
  Also, nice to see a hockey player here.  Just a warning, your helmet is gonna feel weird the first time if you haven't shaved totally smooth yet

• First of all welcome to the site. A year ago when I started shaving my head, I got the Sport as that was the latest thing they had. Have had an ATX for about a month. Bottom line for me- ATX shaves very smooth and  will not cut you but I am finding it misses spots and then I have to touch up with Fusion. Sport could nick a bit but I did not have any spots that it missed. Your question reminds me of my present dilemma.

• For those of you who say the ATX leaves spots behind, check out the video I made describing my method for using the ATX (http://www2.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=20695.0). Try my method and you'll never need a 2nd razor to touch up and you'll be BBS.

• Thanks. I look forward to viewing it - I really ant it to work as the places it does work are extremely smooth. Thanks

• I started shaving last week and I used the ATX. I think since I hadn't ever used the Sport, starting with the ATX was VERY natural. I've shaved 5 times since and never nicked myself once with the ATX. I also go to town and am not very careful. I have to shave certain spots repeatedly but using the HB6 cartridge has given me zero irritation. I have pretty thick hair around the crown of my head, and until today, I couldnt get a perfect shave on some spots.
  
  The secret for me was, don't be afraid to lift the wheels off your head. I lifted the wheels and shaved those tough areas perfectly with no cuts or irritation.
  
  If I were you, I'd try the ATX with HB6 blades if you haven't used another HeadBlade razor yet. It is essentially foolproof, and has a more natural feel with an easy learning curve.
