Welcome, Baldybob, glad you've joined us.  I have both the Mach3 and the Headblade and I don't believe that Mach3 blades would ever fit on a Headblade.  Gillette has a pretty unique attachment on the Mach3 and Fusion that are totally different than the Headblade which uses Atra or Sensor type blades.  But if anyone can ever come up with an adaptor,  I will be one of the first in line to get it.

Look forward to talking with you more.  Hope you hang around. O0

Yeah...I've been very satisfied with my FUSION razors since my very first shave--haven't ever used anything else including the HeadBlade.

If they did come up with an adapter for HeadBlade that held the FUSION cartridge....I'd give it a try fo sho.

Hey all ..the mach 3 blades do fit the headblade.  the attachment for the mach 3 has that little insert that goes into the handle.  well just snap the head off of the attachemtn and then it will fit on there.  I was looking at my blades the other night and thought crap when i do change heads those wont fit..my wife says yeah they will just take the head off of the adapter...and put it on the headblade
I looked tosee if you can get them off and sure enough...pops right off.  So i am well stocked on replacement blades...when ever this one wears out.

The only Gillette blades that HeadBlade has an attachment for are the Atra and Sensor/Sensor Excel blades.  I haven't tried out Timm's technique with the Mach3 baldes, but if it works, let us know.

Ok back on the which blade fits what. The Mac 3 blades if you take them off of the little adaptor taht the mach 3 comes off..and you jsut have the head where the blades are...and you will have to check..but I am refering to the HEADBLADE SPORT!  Not the reg headblade...but it will fit.  OK do we need to all get together and have a seminar??
LOL..
I will have to see if i can post some kind of pics on how it works.  Until then..HAPPY SHAVING!

Oh for some odd reason I had a dream I was handing out Headblades for Halloween!

Thanks for the tip.  I currently use the headblade for my head and a Mach 3 for the face.  It would be nice to try the mach 3 blade on my headblade.

I'll let you know how it turns out...

Tim ,you got me excited there for a second with the headblade being able to use Mach 3 cartridges but alas I have the classic not the sport. I use the HB with Sensor cartridges

What is the difference as far as the Sport and Classic HB from the adaptor?

Well not for sure actually.  I thought I had read in a past post that the HB Classic did not come with two adapters.  I will have to do some research on that.  You sorta have to take the Mac 3 head apart to make it work on the HBsport...but not in anyway that you are damaging the head.  let me do some more research so i can better explain myself.  You just have to understand ...that the kid in me is the type that likes to take things apart and see how things work and then put them back together....most of the time I get them back together..... lol
