Thom Allen tried the Headblade System and was nice enough to tell us how it worked. He has been shaving his head for years, so the opinion of an experienced head shaver is great:

Unfortunately, the cool design of the product didn’t protect him:

By the time I got to the back of my head my hands were pretty slippery from water and shave cream. the razor kept slipping out of my hands. I managed to cut my self in several places. One of the cuts was pretty deep. They were caused by the razor sliding sideways or at an angle.

I can’t really say it was the fault of the razor, but I have never cut my head in all the years I’ve been shaving my head. The HeadBlade razor is a great shape but it slips out to easy. It’s a great idea, and in general worked, but I wasn’t too happy that I cut my head.

Go to his review to see the pictures of his poor, injured head. If you regularly shave your head and are considering using a Headblade, you might want to just stick with the Schick razors for now.
