I was both hesitant and optimistic after reading the Headblade reviews on Amazon. Optimistic because there were a lot of positive reviews; hesitant because the negative reviews seemed to be written much more thoughtfully than the positive ones (several positive reviews were written by spouses of Headblade users, others were in the ballpark of 'headblade rulez').
After using a Mach 3, I decided to give the Headblade Sport a try. The novelty is a lot of fun, and appeals to the gadget-lover in me. It felt really cool to slip the little yellow race-car on my finger and start head-mowing.
If, aside from the fun factor, the most imporant things that one would want out of the Headblade are closeness of shave, time saved, and ease of use, here are my observations:
Closeness: The shave is somewhat close, but the Mach 3 most definitely shaved closer. I took the Mach 3 to my head immediately after shaving thoroughly with the Headblade, and the Mach took it noticeably closer.
Time: If you only want a good-enough shave (getting pretty close but not as close as you could, and leaving a few stubbly spots in the crevices), then you can shave your head pretty quickly with the Headblade--maybe five minutes or less with practice.
Ease: The "slicking the hair back" motion of the Headblade is fun and novel, but I'm not sure if it's really much easier than a Mach 3 (I could do long, broad strokes with a standard razor just as easily as with the Headblade). Once you account for cleaning up the crevices and tricky areas that the Headblade isn't going to get on a quick pass, it's probably not going to be any easier than using a Mach 3--in fact, you may find it to be more difficult.
I'm now using a Gillette Fusion, which is the closest shave (and least amount of irritation) that I've found for my head. If you want a really close and complete shave, you'll probably agree, and steer away from the Headblade. If, however, you're looking for a tool to give you a decent (but flawed) shave fairly quickly, then you may really like this sporty little razor.

I have been shaving my head for eight years now, 5 years and 10 months of them using a headblade. I recently completed an interstate move and lost my headblade...so for the last few months I have been using my trusty gillette mach 3 to shave my head "old school" style. I have to tell you, hands down- the gillette razor does a better job and leaves me with less nicks than the headblade ever did.
The headblade is convenient, I will give it that. It does a "good" job, but not one that is stellar. It fits easily in your hand and has a very shallow learning curve on its usage. However, like another reviewer stated, it only accomplishes shaving in one direction, with a "taditional" razor- you get the added advantage of maneiverability. That makes all the difference.
I cannot call the headblade a bad product by any means, heck I used one for years...but it just cannot compare to using a traditional method to just "bic-it." While the razor itself may not be the be-all end-all of the dome clearing world, the shaving creams, lotions, and scrubs that headblade produces are top notch all the way. So...my advice, is to fire up the razor you already have, but swap out the shaving cream with some headslick...follow that up with some headlube (a great moisturizing lotion) and you are good to go.

I have used the headblade for over a year. Prior to that I used a Mach3. I am certain that had I not tried the headblade, I would not still be shaving my head. It makes the process very easy to use, and takes much less time than a traditional razor. However, it is not without its faults. The standard blade is bad, and the triple blades that you can buy, while better, always gave me trouble when trying to clean them out. The sensor excel blades fit with an adapter, and I have found those to work great on the headblade.
Some people have said that they have problems with cutting. I, personally, have never cut my head. A few times I have nicked my ears when not paying close attention or going too fast.
Others have complained about the closeness of the shave. The single blade is not close at all. But it is a single blade, of course it will not compete with a Mach 3 or Fusion. The Headblade brand Triple Blade was plenty close. And if you fit the Sensor Excel blades on it, then you shouldn't notice any leftover stubble. Irritation is also minimal once you get the hang of the blade, but don't expect to just pick it up and use it like a pro. It does take some getting use to.

tricky
I got this for my husband after he saw it on TV. He said it works okay, but prefers a regular razor. This can be tricky and hard to use.
