Customer Reviews of Headblade Sport Ultimate Head Shave, 1 razor
Customer Review: So much better than a traditional razor!
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend of mine mentioned this razor to me - he said he'd heard someone talking about it on Howard Stern's show. It was good timing since the previous time I'd shaved, I'd cut my ear and lost about a pint of blood (BTW, why do razor cuts bleed for an hour? I could have had my leg removed by a runaway train and it would probably stop bleeding faster...)
I could not be happier with this razor. I used to use 2 different razors to shave my head - a Schick Extreme 3 disposable (due to the "flexible blade") for most of my head and a Gillette Fusion with the battery (the vibration leads to fewer cuts, in my experience) for small problem areas like around my ears.
The biggest problem with the Schick is that you have to apply some pressure to get the blade to bend to conform to your head. With most of your head, it's not a big issue, but in certain spots (on my head, anyway), you're going to get some nicks and cuts from time to time.
The Headblade is MUCH easier to use, and it makes shaving MUCH quicker. The first thing to remember, though, is DON'T APPLY ANY PRESSURE TO THE BLADE! Just let it ride your head and make sure the wheel stays in contact with your skull at all times. I wasn't great with this at first due to my experience shaving with the Schick - I was either applying pressure or not keeping the wheel down, which is of PARAMOUNT importance.
A good way to visualize it is to think of pushing a flat-blade shovel across some loose dirt. As long as you keep the shovel blade relatively even with the dirt, it will slide across easily. However, if you raise the shovel handle, the shovel blade is going to start diving into the dirt and getting stuck and digging out gouges. The dirt, in this example, is the SKIN ON YOUR HEAD. The wheel is there to make sure the "shovel" glides easily across the "dirt" on your head.Dirty head!
I shave in the shower, which I HIGHLY recommend - there's less mess to worry about and the hot water will keep your stubble softer. This thing is so smooth that you don't really need a mirror unless you're worried about accidentally shaving off an eyebrow. I usually shave my head front-to-back at first and then apply some more shaving foam and go back-to-front on a second pass. It'll also do a decent job around your ears, although I still use the Fusion for a little clean-up. I'll also hold the blade up to the shower head after each pass to rinse the blades clean - shaving long passes on your head stuffs the blade more than shaving your face would.
One other thing: although the instructions say to switch hands for shaving each side of your head, I stick with my right (I'm right-handed) since shaving with my left hand feels so awkward. Make sure to tilt your head when you're doing the other side and keep the same rules in mind about not applying pressure and keeping the wheel in contact with your scalp. It's going to take a few shaves before you're comfortable with it, but stick with it - it's going to feel strange at first. By the third or fourth try, it'll be totally natural.
I'm using Sensor blades in it right now and they work just fine. I haven't checked Amazon's prices for bulk blades, but I've been buying mine at a warehouse club where they're pretty cheap. I put in a new blade once a week for the "peace of mind" factor. There's nothing worse than having to go to an appointment with blood running down your head. My mean goatee and shaved head already scare enough people. Adding blood is, frankly, a bit of overkill.
One last thing: when you're replacing the blade, it's going to go on in the OPPOSITE direction than a regular razor's replacement blade would. If you hold the Headblade "up" like a traditional razor, the blades are going to be pointing UP rather than down. Unlike a regular razor, which you "pull" down your face, you "push" the Headblade - it's more like a snowplow, or the shovel in my allegory.
