Sounds great Tim. Please do and when let us know because I am really excited about the prospect of using the mach3 blades with the HB. As soon as I read your post , I went straight into the bathroom and got a Mach 3 cartridge and spent 20 mins trying to figure out how to connect it to my HB. I cut my thumbs up trying to do it too. LOL
I see what you are saying Tim and will also experiment with them. -

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.
i agree with robmeister. i'm a fusion man, also. i luv the fusion. that would b gr8 if hb had an adaptor 4 the fusion.

The classic doesn't come with the adaptors, BUT it's my understanding that it will work with all adapters.

Paulie make sure you get some money out of Tim for me too. I ruined 2 Mach3 blades trying out his idea.

As HeadBlade grow as a company,their focus will grow more on large scale advertising and PR firms than the small street team user promotion that have built the company to what it is today.

Hey I'm only joking about this comment I made. To be honest I got curious again and gave it another try the other night. I have been letting my son play with my old HB Classic. NO, No...Not with the blade in. I had removed the adapter and the blade. He makes car noises with it. But anyway, some times I just get bored of the same routine. Anyone else like this? But like I was saying, I was watching him play with the old HB and I got an itch I couldn't scratch. Later that night I broke out my HB sport. What was weird is that I didn't get any irritation at all and not one nick. Then again I change my routine up this time using the HB. I'm usually a shower shaver but I shaved at the sink and went REAL slow with it and watched exactly what I was doing in the mirror. The other thing that really pleased me was that I shaved my face with it also. Up until a few days ago I had grown out a full beard but I decided to go back to the goatee. So I slapped some HeadSlick on the mug after finishing the dome and used the HB. I went very slow with it and rinsed after every pass. I was amazed to find that it actually gave me a decent shave. I can't be too sure until I compare it, but I think it gave me just as close as a shave as my Mach 3 or the Fusion has given me in the past. I'm going to do a little test in a few days after my facial hair has grown back out. I'm going to shave one side with the HB and one side with the Mach 3. From what I noticed the other night I don't think there is going to be much difference. Or at least not enough to worry about. The biggest reason I have gotten so jazzed about this new find is because of being able to save some money. I use the generic knock off atra blades when I shave with the HB. I can get a 15 pack for $5 at most drug stores in my area. Then with the HeadSlick and HeadLube not costing much and lasting for so long it can end up being a big savings. Especially if it's going to work on my face this well every time and I start using it as a face razor.
Yeah, that's right BaldRob! I may be switching back to the HeadBlade. So go ahead and get your punches in. J/K

Lance, how old is your son? Mine is 4 month old and that is a novel idea. Using old headblades as a toy car. Right on.
I tried using the generic Atra blades with the HB classic and cut my head up like nothing. Headblade is a great shaving tool no doubt but I wont ever use it exclusivley.
Good post. -

I just took my HB apart and tried a mach 3 blade and unless there is one more adapter that my sport didn't come with I don't see how you did it. -

he left out the part where you need to also have some duct tape to wrap the blades to the HB...

Tim, the Mach III has a connector attached to it that snaps into the handle.
It's a totally different connector than Atra or Atra plus. I have never really tried to take the connector piece off the blade, but it seems to me you would break it. I agree with YOSP, lol.
If HB made a blade like Mach III to fit on, that would really be great. Maybe we can get all the slyguys to email the HB company and suggest something.
Lance, I have just started shaving my noggin and I love the HB sport, once you get used to the feel and movement it really is easy.
Definitely a great combo with headslick. just my thoughts.

You might be a redneck sly guy if your headblade is held together with duct tape!!
