On the HB sport the adapter just "hooks" around the ends of the razor (underneath the ends of the blade cartridge). You'd expect something more complicated, but it's remarkably simple.

Hey there Mark, I am so happy you enjoy the HB!  Thanks for sharing... O0

As much as I am into DE shaving, I cannot keep the amazing little yellow car in the "garage" It is the best bald man’s mate by far... I hope you get many Kilometres out of it (You are British so I won’t say Miles?)

@Mt Jules, that clip helped me tremendously in the beginning.  There were two things that chap taught me; you can pump about five full strokes without rinsing, and the dome can be done in 5 minutes if you get it right.  ;D

The clip is excellent and a must for all beginners!

Waine, we use miles here in Great Britain! Ha ha.

For all your HBers out there, do you let the HeadBlade rest at the base of your fingers (below the knuckle) or above? I've seen some videos of both.... How do you hold it?

Good to know. I've only ever held it above the knuckle.

I'm in the middle of the finger between the knuckles.

Go figure.

Thanks mark. How many shaves do you roughly get out 1 blade mate ?

@ Bobster.

Middle finger, below the knuckle for me.  On average I get about three or four shaves out of a Gillette Contour Plus or a Schick Ultra plus.  These are the only two decent available generic blades here.

About 5 head shaves for me.

justtom ... prepare to be amazed.

HOWEVER ... use no pressure, just let it coast along in 1st gear (a/k/a "slow").
