Walgreens giveth and taketh.... and then they giveth?
« on: January 22, 2008, 09:17:32 PM »
I was a little more than bummed when I went to the Walgreens near my house last week and they stopped carrying Headblade, lube, slick and all.

Then when I went back tonight for an umbrella (it's raining...) I checked it out and they've got new Headslick w/pump, a fresh row of un-dusty Headblade Sports and 4-packs of HB Triple blade refills with 2 adaptors included.

So yeah, when you do the math, it's cheaper to buy (2) 4 packs at $18 than online.... and you get 4 free adaptors.

Pass it on :P

Nice!  I actually can get HB stuff at my local Lucky grocery store.  I think there's a RiteAid in there or something.

One of the Wal-Marts here is no longer selling Slick or Lube. They do still stock the regular HB Sport though

I really wish I could find a place that carried the HeadShed.  That product alone is why I just order all my stuff directly from HeadBlade.

I was in Walgreens last night getting some triple blades...

Got the last pack of headblade blades, there was one HB sport, a bottle of Headshade and a 2 bottles of headslick (I bought one since it had the pump) but I am afraid I an going to suffer the same superior lack of reordering next time I go in.

I've used the HeadSlick with the pump before. I have only one word or warning. When you are done using it, put the pump all the way down and lock it, or put it higher than the shower head. Due to the magic and wonder of water, it will make its way into the pump and water down your slick. Other than that, I think it's a great idea.

Hey guys keep in mind that sometimes retailers have outside contractors who they hire to come in do "resets" of specific sections in their stores.  One day they'll have certain items and the very next day there may be none, then you'll go in a wk later and they'll have the old items plus new ones.  Just a thought.

 :Xo! :Xo! :Xo!I heard all the hipe about Headblade and ill never by one again as a matter of fact I just went and bought it this morning to shave the noodle and while shaving I got to the back of the dome and slice one huge cute nick what ever you want to call it then thinking well its new and I might have done something wrong then went to the other side of the head and took skin off and I am so  :Xo! :Xo! :Xo! >:( >:(at Headblade that I called them and got a recording and asked if they would like me to mail them the slice of skin off the back of my head. So needless to say the blade is going back and ill never use one again ill just stick with my straight razor or my mach 3.

Matt, its quite possible that it was not the blade but the pressure you used while shaving.  It's important to keep the pressure on the wheels, not on the blade and to take it slow with long strokes until you get used to it.  HeadBlade has a video HeadBlade 101 that gives a pretty good course on using the blade.   Some guys never do like to use it or get used to it, but it is worth giving it a try first.
