About HeadBlade
Unlike a conventional razor, the HeadBlade makes your hand (and fingers) the handle. This gives you more control. When your fingers can touch your scalp you have a much better understanding or "feel" of what you're doing.
The patented suspension of the HeadBlade gives you even more control; you don't have to worry about the angle of the blade. Think of a conventional handled razor. It's like a unicycle and only touches your head at one point (where the blade is). This is very difficult to control (both the angle and pressure of the blade). Especially if your fingers aren't in contact with your scalp. The HeadBlade, in contrast, has a suspension and touches your head in two places; like a bicycle.
It may seem strange at first, but with the HeadBlade you lead with the blade. Why? Because that's the right way. If the blade was on back it would end up moving laterally across your head and you'd get plenty of "paper cuts." Not good.
Like a bike, you don't put any weight on the handlebars. So don't put any pressure on the blade. Just make sure the blade and back pad are in contact with the scalp, then take long smooth strokes. You'll get the best shave ever.
History
The year was 1997. Todd Greene had been sporting a shaved pate for five years. Unfortunately shaving was not a 'good' experience. In truth, it was an inconvenience. But, through thick and thin, he was committed to the shaved look.
He tried clippers. He tried electrics. He even tried depilatories. After settling for a conventional razor, Todd realized the handle was his nemesis.
The blades were good but the handles were unfit for the job. If there was a way for the hand to become the 'handle' Todd figured he may have, indeed, the ultimate headshaving razor.
After two years of constant testing and development Todd brought his invention to the market and christened it "The HeadBlade."
Since that day, thousands of HeadBlade users have never looked back because, with the HeadBlade, they don't need to.
