Customer Reviews of New HeadBlade Sport -The Ultimate Head Shaving Razor!
Customer Review: Takes some getting use to, but i won't go back.
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Worse than the original.
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used the original headblade for years (once a month)and I've been very happy with it. The stupid wheels on the tail end of this "improved" model reduce your directional control and, because of the vibration they produce, reduce the sensitivity you get from having the tips of your finger guiding the blade. You end up having to run the blade over several times to get it completely clean.
With the original model, I rarely cut myself. I cut myself twice with this version. I tossed it in the trash halfway through the shave.
They should fire the product engineers that decided it would be a good idea to make this thing. "I know, people will buy it if it reminds them of a sports car." Is that really true? I hope not.
Customer Review: Ouch! ...I'm bleeding.
Summary: 1 Stars
All show and no go - that's the best description. It' s just a gimmick. I used it for quite some time to try different techniques and different style blades. Each time it left parts of my head with long stubble, even after repeated swipes. This made for an extra long, extra unproductive shaving session.
Then the blood... When it cuts (which it does a lot, especially in the back), it cuts deep - which tends to reopen the next time you shave. I finally had to take time off to heal before retrying this thing - with the same results.
I'm doing better with a medium quality dispoable blade, for a lot less money. If you still want one of these - I'll sell you mine . It's sitting in a drawer now....
Customer Review: love it or hate it
Summary: 5 Stars
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!!Customer Review: ABC...123

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.
