Head Blade...To Shave Your Head CLEAN !
HeadBlade® FAQ Q: What kind of blades can you use with the HeadBlade®? A: The HeadBlade® accepts both Schick® Ultrex® and Gillette® Atra® pivoting twin blades. The HeadBlade® Company, LLC is not affilliated with either The Gillette Company or Warner-Lambert but we do think their blades are excellent. Q: Is the ring on the HeadBlade® adjustable? A: Yes. The HeadBlade® is made out of a high quality plastic (it contains a lot of rubber) and the ring can be adjusted to just about any finger size. To adjust your HeadBlade® warm the ring with a hair dryer (not your own of course) and then gently manipulate the ring to the appropriate size. Q: How long will it take to rid myself of the bad habits accumulated over years of shaving with a conventional razor to fully appreciate this new method? A: The HeadBlade fits right inside the palm of your hand and you may get the hang of it right off. But be patient, it may take you three to five shaves before you become fully comfortable with the HeadBlade and its revolutionary method. Once you do get the feel of the HeadBlade you'll see your shaving time cut dramatically. And you'll get a better shave. Q: The razor looks really big, like the size of a small to medium size compact car. Can it really be that big? A: No. The HeadBlade® design was strongly influenced by automotive design but make no mistake, at less than 2.5" long you won't drive it south of your shoulders (unless you like that sort of thing). It's really not that big, unless you're really really small. Q: Which way does it go? Can left-handed people use it? A: The HeadBlade®'s multiple patent-pending design situates the blade in the front. Think of it like a snow plow only with blades that shave your head. Oh yeah, and it's a lot smaller than a snow plow (see above). The design is symmetrical and can be used on either hand upside down or rightside up, depending on whether you shave with the grain or against. Q: Why is the blade in the front of the HeadBlade and why do I push instead of pull it? Should I apply pressure? A: After extensive development it was found that the automatically pivoting blade of the HeadBlade had to be in front. Pulling the blade across your head creates lateral movement of the blade which results in nicks and cuts. Pushing the blade eliminates lateral movement. And no, you don't need to press down on the razor. The only pressure you need to put is on back pad to make sure it stays in contact with your scalp. Q: What kind of skin moisturizer should I use on my scalp? A: You should use a non-comedogenic cream (won't clog pores) Q: Can I use the HeadBlade® to shave my face? A: Please understand that because of the razor's revolutionary design we had to call it the HeadBlade®. It is for the head, but of course you can use it on your face. Here's how. After you shave your head, carefully (we mean very carefully--this should be enough of a legal disclaimer) take the blade off the adaptor and turn it around. Then place it back on the adaptor. Hold the razor between your middle finger and thumb with your index finger situated on the "HB" pad. Now shave your face. Good job. This is a razor. Be careful.
