do these M5 blades work on the headblade adapters?

Nope.

So this is just like buying Gillette w/ cartridges?  How they glide to the shape of your head?

Do the blades work on Gillette adaptets?

The M5 Cartriges will only fit the M5 handle, but you can buy the handle that comes with two cartriges and one pack of 4 replacement cartriges for less than one pack of the Fusion cartriges.

Also note: Persona sells a tripple blade razzor that does fit the "sensor" adaptor for the HeadBlade!!

Cool, I would rather use the headblade since it shaves better instead of using a handle.  I could try it I guess.
Who sells Persona?

Finally tried the M5, and you know what? I like it, did not experience any unusual pulling or irratation, this razor rocks and cuts just like the Fusion (my favorite blade), will definately continue to use! Fusion and M5 from here on out.

The M5 still works despite that trimming edge (?).  It does tend to wear easier too.  But still can't beat the cost.

I finally found some blades, they run out quickly at the Wal-Mart, $5.88.  Saw some at a regular drugstore, Walgreens I think, over $8!  Jesse James used a gun!
The M5 is getting a little more shelf space too, that may have something to do with the increased sales.  I haven't seen any TV or print media ads though--this blade is just selling by word of mouth from what I can determine.

To be fair, I have only been sly for 6 days and my razor of choice is the Mach 3 Turbo

For the most part, a nice smooth feel and at a reasonable price compared to the fusion

I change the blade once a week

I also purchased fusion and it's ok but the price isn't

If you go to their website and leave a comment you can get 3 or 4  coupons for $3.00 off. If you get them from Wally World then you pay about 2.98 for blades.

You're frankly going to have a whole lot of shaving stuff in your drawer by the time you find what works best for you.  Just enjoy the ride, it's really kind of fun.
