The HeadBlade company was founded in 1999 in California by Todd Greene on the belief that necessity is the mother of all inventions.

Todd had been shaving his head since 1992 with conventional razors. This slow and annoying shaving method helped Todd to understand that there must be a better way. Standard razors just weren't the right solution for this daily task. They were too slow, uncomfortable and dangerous. So, Todd set about creating an ergonomic handle that was compatible with standard razor cartridges.

The first HeadBlade Razor was born, and along with it, a brand new innovative company.

HeadBlade soon created quite a stir. Major razor companies had poured hundreds of millions of dollars into products development, design and marketing. Yet there was this tiny razor designed by one man, in one year, and it was winning national design awards. Why? Because it was so pure, so functional and yet aesthetically pleasing. It wasn't watered down by fifty designers with fifty conflicting viewpoints and a marketing department who didn't understand the product, etc.. You get the idea. The HeadBlade had a single function; to make head shaving easy. It was based on some very simple design principals:

The user had to be able to shave by feel (the razor has to sit close to the head and the user be able to touch the head with fingers while shaving).

The razor needed two contact points to create a 'suspension' allowing the blade to automatically pivot.

The razor had to be safe and easy to use.

In the coming years HeadBlade developed several new head shaving products. It included a skin care range and expanded its business worldwide, gathering an incredible amount of positive feedback from many different countries.

You can find the HeadBlade range in more that 15000 stores in the US and in all European countries including the UK at the official headblade.co.uk online store.

Our products have won several prestigious prizes including the "Ten Best Designs - by TIME Magazine", "The IDSA Silver Award" and the "REDDOT Design Award", plus we have been included in New York's MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) permanent collection.
