Headblade ATX Razor

Just used and it's the best head shave I've had . No cutting easy to use and a great design.

I just love this razor. It's easy to shave in the shower by feel and without a mirror and its unique ergonomic shape makes it hard to go wrong. Yes, it is possible to cut one's self with it at first but after just a little use one learns just the right pressure to apply and shaving becomes an easy matter.The uniqueness lies in the design and shape of the actual razor. The blades are no better than any other cartridge blades however but I've yet to find generic ones that could be cheaper. The blades cost about £3.50 each at the cheapest price I can find (for the HB4s) and that's not cheap. Some say that they last longer than other blades but I've not found this to be so. I shave my head once a week on a Monday and a blade will do three good shaves and a fourth if I'm careful. I get a pack of 100 Shark Brand half-blades for my safety razor for £8 so that works out at 8p a blade and I use a new blade for every face shave without thinking about the price. The HeadBlade blades ARE expensive; there's no doubt about that and I'm surprised that other blade manufacturers have not taken advantage of the gap in the market.For the moment HeadBlade have a monopoly on the blades but the razor is just so well designed and easy to shave with that I feel it's worth paying what they are asking for the blades.As for all the other HeadShave foam, creams etc... I think they manage to sell it all on the back of their wonderful razor design. Many will say that they never cut themselves when they use the HeadSlick shaving cream but I think that's all in the head. The same goes for their HeadShed. IMHO it's no better than any other ex-foliating cream.Yep... a fantastic razor but just don't be sucked in to using all their other products 'cos the blades themselves will knock a deep enough dent in your grooming budget and their other products are really no better than anyone else's. The HeadBlade razor really IS unique and worth the money but that doesn't go for everything the company make and if you think it does then you are the victim of good marketing and the feel-good factor of owning a truly unique razor.

I have just purchased a second one of these as a gift.I actually bought this for my husband after watching the documentary on how it was made. How it was brought to manufacture etc. And he was really impressed watching it. So obviously as he shaves his head all the time it seemed like a great gift for him.I don't find it any more expensive than normal pricey blades, and he says once he got the hang of it, it was a great razor.A clean smooth cut, and with its shape makes shaving your head so much easier, with or without a mirror.And after reading some of the questions on here regarding this shaver, my husband used it with his own shaving gel. I don't think there is any need to be buying the gel etc. that these make.It really is worth investing in if you shave your head regular.whether or not its a case of use and like while its new then goes in the back of the cupboard I don't yet, but he's had it a good while now and is still using it.I also plan to buy for a few of our family members for Christmas.

Item bought as a gift. Not yet presented.

Works well and a neat little product. Good value!

Sharp blade, cut husband head on 1 st use. Be careful

This broke on its 3rd use. The blade came off and I attached it back on but it easily comes off now. Made of cheap plastic which is not fit for purpose. I gave it a star because it’s a good concept, just poor execution.

with A quick and courteous service the headblade ATX arrived in good condition. I read the reviews before hand on amazon and decided to give it a go as other shavers just weren’t cutting it, excuse the pun. I do like this little gadget and wondered if it would do the job, no worries the atx glided smoothly over my head leaving me with a nick free smooth clean head shave in minimal time.
