    Are you in USA Wiggly? I found in UK that the Tesco own brand blades also fit the headblade adapter and are nice and cheap.

    It is not easy to see, but the DORCO blade used to have a plastic piece where I drew the red line. It snaps out with pliers or can be pried out with a knife. It then snaps onto the ATX just like an ATX blade.

    I have in the past used Headblade sport for shaving my skull. It is fine if you are in a hurry and need to get the job done quickly. Not ever close to the type shave you get with a DE or a straight razor. I use my Dovo shavette to shave my head and it works extremely well. Tight, smooth as silk and fairly fast shaves. Headblade does have some nice products for us bald guys though. There moisturizers perform well. All in all, I prefer to use my straights or my Dovo shavette any day.

    I know I'm new to all the acronyms, so what is DE?

    DE = Double Edge. SE = Single Edge.

    I pretty much solely use a DE (Mergress) for my head shaves now, but when I am in a hurry, the Quattro is hnds down the best around. I found the headblade works, but isn't anything spectacular.

    yeah, I've used a Headblade for about 10 yrs.. always with a sensor blade, and soaps that don't agree with my face.. nothing wasted. ;-)
    2 passes is all it takes for BBS, but after all this time I know what angles to hit..
    In fact thinking about it, I'm still using the same one, even though the wheels fell off years ago.. lol
