Geez louise...you're lucky that's all you ended up with from a baseball bat! That could have ended up a lot worse...

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the shave too. That is why I stick to using the Headblade sport for my dome with cheap 2 blade Atra imitation cartridge refills from Amazon or the Bay.

Yes it could have, considering there were 4 of them and 2 of us - hey you should've seen the other guys! Anyway - I switched to some of my Derby blades with the EJ DE for the last week and no cuts, scraps or nicks all week. Much closer shave than the HeadBlade. Got a shaving cuttle for Father's day on Sunday and a little poraso green tube goes a long, long way in that thing. I can lather it up and shave 2 passes on my head with a DE and 2 passes on my face with a straight with about a quarter size dollop!

Cheers.

I use the headblade ATX and have for about a year now. Found they use dorco blades. Just need to grab some pliers and pop the dorco adapter out and they are a perfect fit...much cheaper. Look closely and they are identical except for color.

Any photos of how you get the Dorcas to work?

Sorry no pictures. All of the dorco cartridges i have already have the piece removed and they look identical.

Ok. Which kind do you use? You just pop out the dorco adapter and the cartridge fits on the ATX?

I use the four blade dorco. Pop out the plastic piece out of the back of the dorco and it fits into the black adapter on the ATX. If you have both, lay then side by side, face down and you will see the part that you need to remove.

So I gotta get an adapter for my ATX? Where do i get one? I just have it stock right now.

The black adapter that hold the current cartridge will hold the dorco. Ill try to take some pics of what I have tomorrow.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Paying $5.50 for a four pack is much more palatable than $10-15.
