Earlier this summer I participated in the testing of the new Headblade 4 & 6 blade cartridges. Because I was in all 3 test groups I was given the new model (ATX) that comes out next year.
When I first got it I thought it looks like a tank, then I thought no it looks like the current Batmobile.
Everything is finalized and they are about to begin production so we are now allowed to talk about it publicly.
Here are a few pictures of it.
It came with a set of the 4 blade but I wanted to see how it handles with the already available triple blades. There's a slight learning curve as you now drive it backwards but overall in the short time I've had it I can thoroughly say that it's a much better shave experience than the sport. It has places in the middle to hold it and get a more natural feeling shave, I've found this to eliminate the problem the sport has of getting behind the ears. I'm using the triple blades but I still get one of the closest and most comfortable shaves I've ever gotten.
The new blades should come out next month and the ATX is slated for a 2013 release, I will post specific dates once I get them. Keep an eye out for this puppy as it's pretty awesome.

It looks pretty interesting. I see you have the triple blade cartridge on it.
Is it compatible with all cartridges, or will there be a different adapter for the 4 plus blade cartridges?
Also, will you be able to use a double?

There is a different adaptor for the 4 & 6 blade cartridges the 4 blade that came with it lasted about a month before I decided to change the blade, so I took the triple off of my Sport. I've never used the doubles, but all HB adaptors will work on any HB model.

Looks neat! I can't believe that I am just now hearing it.
So do you use the opposite way that you would use the HB Sport?

looks like a skidoo! Do you push it along with the blade at the back now? Can't wait to get my hands on one.

It's a pulling motion rather than a push like the sport. Overall the design is much nicer and more user friendly than previous models. I'm such a fan of it that I will buy one (even though I already have one) once they go public.
When I took the triple blades off my sport and put it on the ATX it sort of looks like the sport is on blocks.

They look very nice indeed. I hope I will like my current HeadBlade products then I could purchase the new ones as they come out.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the pics. Looks great! I read on the Headblade Facebook page that if all goes well, The ATX, 4 blade, and 6 blade razors will all be available on their site the 1st week of September. Can't wait.

Because of the experiences I had with the HB carts the last year or two that I used my "Ghost" I more than likely will not buy an ATX. But it does look kinda cool.

I signed up for the Headblade news letter and when I saw that there was an opportunity to sign up to be a tester I signed up on their facebook page.
