Krly, their 2 blade system would work with the Yellow adapter on your ATX.

Tyler, thanks for the reply. I happened to buy (off eBay) some " 8 Tri-flexxx Cartridges (Gillette Sensor, Personna Tri-flex) triple razor blades" ,but they don't seem to fit the original black adapter that came with my HB ATX. Am I missing something ?
Thanks for your help............

Yes, you need the black sensor adapter that comes with the sport or can be purchased on the Headblade website.

Tyler, I hope this will be the last thing I need from you regarding all this Headblade "stuff". A few days back you sent me a link to the 2 blade cartridges you were using with the ATX. Somehow I can't seem to locate it.
Dorco tells me they no longer have 2 blade cartridges but I think it was a Dorco cart. you linked me to (?) Could you resend it (or post it here in the thread) ?
Thanks again for your assistance so far. I'm 65 and this is my first try with the Headblade AND with a DE (Merkur 180/23C) for my face. I've always been an electric kinda guy but NO MORE !! Feels kinda cool.................

Tyler as you can tell I'm a newbie, getting ready to take the plung. I can't seem to find the ability to purchase the sport adaptor via headblade that appears is needed for the now available Dorco cartridges. Am I missing something?

Hi, newbie here, but I think I can help. I just got the Headblade today, but read on Amazon that Dorco cartridges fit on it and decided to try it as I had some spare ones anyway. Regarding your question: the 4-blade Dorcos are basically identical to the the HB4s and fit perfectly. There's just a plastic adaptor on the back of the Dorcos that you need to remove, afterwards it's exactly the same as the HB4. The attached photo shows the cartridge and the removed Dorco adaptor. You remove it by pushing one of the 'noses' on the sides of the adaptor inward, then pull it up, pull out the other nose and then pull off the top part (that one has a little glue on it, but you can't damage anything there).
I also tried whether this works on a 6-blade Dorco cartridge, but their attachment points are wider apart from each other, thus they don't fit on the Headblade.

Marvin - Thanks for posting! I've got an order of mixed Dorco blades in that I'm giving a run at to see how they work for me so far so good. And for the price I really can't complain.
