Anyone use Headblade? Thoughts?

Also, anyone specifically switch from a Mach 3 to a Headblade?

    I love it ! I've used them for a few years now. I don't remember the last time I had a nick either.

    I still use my Fusion for finishing touches to make sure it's silky smooth and glistens :)

    Never tried one. Still a big fan of the Fusion Proglide Power. I use it with the Art of Shaving products with great success.

    Any of you heard of this place?

    I too am a Fusion junkie. Man those blades are expensive! Any alternatives? I hate "experimenting". I tried a Wilkinson razor, f-me that hurt! Never again!!!

    Edit: Well found the "blades" they send you and its these.

    Price looks great, but...I would love to hear from others. Some people commenting that the reviews are fake... :(

    LOL @ Windy.

    Well guys, I ordered the Dorco Pace 6 Plus from Amazon. Meh, $20 and it'll be here in 2 days. If its bad, I'll let the wife give it a try. I'll report back on the results. :glasses:

    Ok, got the blade from Amazon. Man does it shave CLOSE! I mean, really close! I have noticed its taking me a bit to get used to the angle difference from the fusion. It works, I just need to find the right way to hold it. Once I have it, I can usually shave a smooth strip in ONE pass! I couldn't with the Fusion. I also noticed trying to do it every 24 hours isn't as easy as with the Fusion. It seems to shave better if I wait every other day.

    It could just be user learning curve. It does need to be rinsed out a lot sooner than the Fusion. I do it every pass. No biggie. The cost of the blades is sick! 4 blades for $4.50, yeah this thing is staying with me.

    Like I said, its worth the $20, but there is a learning curve. I noticed I don't have as much irritation as with the Fusion. Between the two, I see the Fusion as being easier, but again it could be because I am used to it. I should have given the Dorco 4 blade a shot first, but its cool.

    If you have the $20 to try it out, I would recommend doing it.

    I shaved my head for ~11 years. I used the same razor I used on my face, which for a long time has been the Schick Extreme 3. Between shaving my face alomst daily and my head once every 3 days, I would go through a blade once every two weeks or so.

    I have used the headblade but, I really didn't like it too much.
    I have two different razors (different colors)
    One for my face and one for my noggen.
