Customer Reviews of HEADBLADE Ultimate Head Shaving Razor
Customer Review: PERHAPS... if you're new to shaving your head
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been shaving my head for about 5 years now, (with a Gillette Fusion razor), and I've gotten quite comfortable at it.
My wife bought me the HEADBLADE for xmas, and I gave it a try.
My first thought was that by going with an Atra cartridge, I was taking about 12 steps backward in blade technology, but what the heck... maybe the unique design would make up for it.
My second thought came after I looped the thing around my finger and started to shave. It felt like I was shaving with my feet.
Now I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt, and state that this could very well be due to the fact that my five years of head-shaving has given me "muscle memory" in that I've grown quite accustomed to moving my hands in a certain manner and speed while shaving.
Therefore, using the HEADBLADE "upset" the smooth flow and what I COULD feel was SCRAPING, as opposed to SHAVING. (I quit before I carved through to my skull!)
I will say this however: the HEADBLADE HEADSLICK SHAVE CREAM is absolutely AWESOME, and as much as I've touted the use of Aveeno shave gel for the past few years, I think I've found a replacement.

Customer Review: Awesome!

I absolutely LOVE this razor. I had my doubts the first time I got it but was still curious. The first time I used it I had a few nicks and cuts but this is from not using it properly. After a few shaves, you can easily shave your entire head and it will be smooth as butter baby. Definately check it out and you will fall in love with it. Enjoy!

This is my second review on this item. Why? Because I absolutely love it that much. It has been 9 months since I have had the HeadBlade. After a few nicks and cuts every now and then due to not handling it right, I can now flawlessly shave my head every morning in under a minute with no nicks. It took a lot of trial and error. For example, if you use regular shaving gel or cream, prepare for the blade to get stuck and cut you nicely. Use the HeadBlade Shave lotion and you can effortlessly get that baby smooth shave without any ugly nicks. I couldnt live without my HeadBlade. Thanks Guys.

I bought this Headblade razor and used it only twice. The fact that the Headblade uses Atra blades (which werte popular during the mid-1980s but which are undoubtedly inferior to advanced shaving systems like the Gillette Fusion or Schick Quattro) should serve as a warning that you won't get a smooth or comfortable shave. I experienced severe razor burn and also got many nicks and cuts during the two times I used the Headblade and then threw it away. If you want a smooth, clean and comfortable shave then I truly recommend the Gillette Fusion as it gives me an ultra-smooth and clean shave every time. The Headblade is an interesting-looking product but it just does not work (even remotely) as well as more advanced 4 or 5-blade razors.Customer Review: Nicks and cuts
Summary: 1 Stars
This razor looks good on paper and has a futuristic design but doesn't work so well in practice. The thing to remember is that if you don't have a flexible blade which shapes itself to your scalp, nicks and cuts will inevitably follow.
Unlike others who've reviewed this product, it just didn't work for me. The small hook to place your finger in just didn't provide enough control over the device. The Atra razors were below par as well.
My recommendation: get yourself a package of Schick Xtreme-3 disposable razors. The blades are wonderfully flexible and the long handle gives one plenty of control. I've been shaving my head for the past five years, and the Xtreme-3 is the best product to date.
Customer Review: Awesome shave
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been shaving my head on and off for about 6 years now, and the reason I stopped shaving so often was because the shave wasn't close enough. If I had the choice I would never want my hair to grow back on my head again. Then I found the HeadBlade online and decided to give it a shot. My FIRST shave with I pulled with the hair, and I though "Ehh..." BUT then I remembered in the manual it said some guys like to shave against and some with. So I shaved against, and then at that moment I was won over. THE ABSOLUTE SMOOTHEST SHAVE I HAVE EVER HAD. I HIGHLY recommend the HeadBlade. Takes some time getting used too and gets clogged quickly, but one of the closest and best shaves I have ever had. GET IT!
