I've been shaving my head "traditionally" for years, stumbled across this product on the internet and decided to give it try. Yes it does provide a less irritating shave, but i could do a better job with a boxcutter. Shaved exactly as the directions state and still had to go over many areas two to three times and still didnt get a close shave. In my opinion it's not worth the price. Go buy a good 4 or 5 blade razor instead.

The HeadBlade is a neat concept that just tries too hard to be innovative. I received one a few weeks ago, and committed to trying it (it seemed pretty cool, at first), but it just doesn't deliver the goods. It can do a passable job when you follow the directions and get used to using it, but I think that most of the 5-star ratings here are based on the novelty. My regular old disposable razor does a better job at keeping a close shave without second passes, and I always knew where the blade was landing when I brought it down on my scalp, as opposed to the HeadBlade, which put the wheels practically in my eye if I was shaving the hairline above my forehead. Sure, you can get used to it. I did. I still find a regular old razor to be a closer shave and easier to maneuver around the nooks and crannies around the ears. Of course, with the headblade you also have to have a regular old shaver for the rest of your face, which makes it seem rather pointless and redundant.

The bottom line: The HeadBlade is perfectly adequate as a shaver, but, then so is any other half-decent razor on the market, even disposables, and you don't have to relearn how to use the good old standbys.

If you want to shave your head, there is simply no better way to do it. I have done it on and off with a regular razor (M3 Turbo) for years and have nicked and scalped myself many times. It took time and usually resulted in some blood. The Headblade Sport is so easy to use that I can shave my head in just a couple of minutes with no pain and no blood. I actually look forward to using it! Get it!

New HeadBlade Sport -The Ultimate Head Shaving Razor!

I did not find this item easy to use and it did not properly shave my head even as I replaced the blades. I tried holding it from several angles and moving it different ways across my head. Nothing worked. It got a few spots and left others with stubble or longer.

I ended up discarding it and going back to my Trac II razor.

there seem to be few lukewarm opinions on the headblade among head shavers.... many people find it awkward to use.... I maintain that when you really learn to use it, using a conventional razor to shave your head feel super awkward. I think the headblade sport is actually a better 'starter' headblade... the little wheels are like training wheels almost. Two things must be your mantra with the HB.... keep the wheels ( or base with the classic) in contact with your head at all times and apply NO pressure to the blade!!! that is the difference between a wonderful close shave and bleeding like a stuck pig. Go super slow at first.... that's also important. It's a unique tool, and takes getting used to , but it's worth it!!

It's as simple as 123, If you can't shave your head with this awesome little invetion there must be something seriously wrong with your basic body functions, it's like combing your hair back only with a blade, it comes off nice and smooth. I've been shaving my head for almost 5 years the regular way, with a "face" razor and it took me way too long plus I always found missed spots all over my head and had to go back to them after I thought I was done, annoying to say the least. I bought my Headblade sport about a month ago, I am so pleased with it, the first time I used it I was done in about 3 minutes compared to the 10 or more with the regular razor. I highly recommend this article.

This is the first blade that I have cut myself with in the past two decades, and I'm not talking just a nick but a major peel the skin off cut! Dulls quickly and the pushing motion required to use the headblade is totally unnatural. Mine is now in the trash. Don't waste your money!!!

I've tried various ways of head shaving and can say that Headblade is the easiest and produces the best results.
If you use it properly you won't complain about it. When I started using it I made the rookie mistake of going front to back and that left the hair on the sides not shaved very well. Like some I thought that maybe Headblade just couldn't cut my hair very well. Instead of giving up I decided to try a different technique. I decided to ignore the videos telling me they were the definitive way to shave. The definitive way to shave is to go with the grain then come back against it. For me with the gain is to start at the top of my head and go down towards my ear. My method might work for you, it might not. Run your hand across your head and pay attention to which way creates the most resistance.
So to recap:
* When you shave the right way Headblade is top notch.
* The right way to shave is with the grain then against it.
* There's a reason you don't apply pressure when shaving.

I've been using a Turbo Mach 3 for years, and came across this... Being careful to follow the directions, I never could get a really good shave without repeated and repeated passes. It did work well to remove a chunk of skin a couple of times, though. In the end, I'm back on the Turbo... If you're thinking of buying one, I'll sell you mine!

I used the original HeadBlade for about a year, and although I preferred it to a regular blade, I was never very happy with the blades it used, because they had a tendency to nick my scalp if I wasn't paying attention. (an easy thing to do 1st thing in the morning) I was quite happy when I received the HeadBlade Sport as a gift, and have found that it is a vast improvement on the previous design. I can shave my head in a fraction of the time of using a traditional blade, without any nicks at all.

Yes, I still use a normal razer for my face and some of the places like above the ear, but I still count it as a major time savings. Can I get a closer shave with a normal blade? Probably, but I'll most likely nick the heck out of my head in the process.

The one word of advice I would give someone contemplating using this versus a regular blade is to use it in the shower. Having your scalp "conditioned" by warm water really improves the closeness of the shave.

Thank you, HeadBlade for saving me precious minutes in the morning for almost 2 years now.
