Head Razor MOTO Original

HeadBlade MOTO Original turns head shaving into a movement you guide by touch rather than by wrestling with a long handle. The middle finger sits in the soft ring while the palm remains close to the scalp, giving immediate control over direction and pressure. Underneath, the dual-active suspension does two jobs at once: the cartridge pivots up and down while the body leans from side to side. Together with the free-rolling front ball, this helps the razor trace the scalp’s curves, pass around the ears and reach areas that are awkward with a conventional razor. The yellow-and-black Original design also makes MOTO’s distinctive mechanism clearly visible.

Choose this if...

• you shave your head regularly and want a razor designed specifically for scalp contours;
• you prefer direct fingertip control and the ability to shave by feel, including at the back of the head;
• you want a compact, lightweight razor that is easy to manoeuvre around the ears;
• you already use, or want to use, HeadBlade HB4 or HB6 cartridges.

Why MOTO is different

A conventional cartridge razor mainly pivots in one direction. MOTO combines an up-and-down cartridge pivot with a body that can lean sideways, so the blade assembly remains better aligned as the surface changes. The front ball leads the movement, while the slim, nonslip body stays secure in a wet hand. Side vents make it easier to rinse away water and shaving product from around the ball.

When another razor may suit you better

Choose another system if you want dry electric shaving, a traditional T-shaped razor or a conventional long handle. MOTO is intended for prepared, wet skin and works best on short growth; longer hair should be trimmed first.
