5.0 out of 5 stars Best. Shave. Evar., April 21, 2004

Perfect angle, low occurrence of nicks, easy to use, and FAR less expensive to keep supplied with fresh blades than my Mach 3. Uses Atra blades which is a more basic design, but same blade tech (only 2 blades however). Took some time to get the hang of it, but now it's very easy and quick. Excellent product at a very fair price. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read the instructions, people!, April 10, 2006

OK, some of the reviews here were either written by guys who are a little mentally challenged, or they didn't read the instructions.

1 - Don't push DOWN. This will cut you way too close and cause head-bleeding galore. You push the plastic nub in the BACK of the razor down to make contact with your head and then push FORWARD to shave. I scalped myself somewhat on the first use because I was new to the concept, plus the brand-new blade was sharp. One bonus is that blades last a looong time with this product, and I actually get great shaves even with dull blades.

2 - This razor uses Atra blades for a reason. The blades are spaced farther apart to allow the cut hairs and shaving cream to FLOW THROUGH the razor and not clog it. Shaving my head with a triple-blade thingy is just not as good for this.

3 - Don't use gunky shave cream or gel that clogs. Using the headslick product (or shampoo, or body wash, or ...) gives you a light lubricant that makes the shaving easy and doesn't clog your blade.

NEGATIVES -
The blade mounting adaptor is primitive, and made of a rather flimsy plastic. It holds up OK, but I can see the day coming when it will break. At that point maybe the company will send me a new model. This is what knocks it down to 4 stars.

The ring doesn't fit my finger very well, but they say on their website that you can heat it up with a hair dryer (for example) and bend it to suit your taste. I may get around to doing this one of these days.

I guess my biggest endorsement is that I'd rather go out and buy new blades for this than return to shaving my head with one of the other many razors I have. It just works better and isn't as clumsy as using a handled-razor.

2.0 out of 5 stars Headblade...ouch!, May 31, 2004

I just threw out my Headblade. I used it for about 6 months. 95% of the time it worked great...it's the other 5% that was hard to take. If you have a perfectly round head, you should be okay. But, if you have any scars, mesquito bits, etc., lookout! ...because the headblade will remove them and it is quite messy and it hurts! What I have found works best is a Panasonic electric razor or if you want a really smooth shave, just use a Gillette Ultra...I have never been cut using either of these.
