Product Reviews of New HeadBlade Sport -The Ultimate Head Shaving Razor!
Product Review: Over-Rated
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Product Review: Reinventing the wheel
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Product 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.
Product 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.
Product 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!!
