Title: Replacement Blades for Moto
Post by: GoHabs on May 26, 2017, 07:57:45 AM

Hello,

Now that the Moto is finally available in Canada, I am thinking of picking one up.  The only thing that is holding me back is the outrageous cost of the HB 4/6 replacement blades.  Has anyone tried the Moto with Astra or Sensor blades?

Thanks

I've heard that it can be done, but its not recommended since the adapter doesn't have as much flex and spring in it as the normal HB4/HB6 adapter, and it would affect the quality of the shave.

I just tried using a Dorco 4 blade refill cartridge (per the recommendation of others on this forum) and it fit perfectly.  You just have to remove the adapter on the back of the cartridge.  But its a fraction of the cost.
