Bic US 5 Blade cartridge fit Fusion razor?

Will a Bic 5 blade cartridge fit a fusion razor? A local store is discounting 4 packs of Bic Us cartridges for $4 bucks a pack. Full disclosure: haven’t used disposable razors in years but do have a handle for fusion blades I purchases at Marshall’s a few years ago for $10 bucks...the AOS Chelsea razor.
Thank you gents.
 
I am not a fan of Bic, I did have their original 5 blade razor. In the UK the replacement was then Mach3 compatible, but this was a subscription. No.idea about B&M products.
 
Personna make a 5 blade cartridge that fits Fusion handles. Widely available here in the UK and often sold by Supermarkets and chemists shops like Boots

Amazon in the US sells the Personna cartridges that fit a Fusion handle. It isn't sold with the Personna label although they were advertised as Personna when I first encountered them. I can't remember the name off hand and I'm traveling so I can't run to my shaving drawer and pull it out. The labeling identifies that they are a product of the company that markets Schick and Wilkinson Sword (Edgewell?). In essence they are a black and orange Schick Hydro 5 cartridge that can dock up to a Fusion handle. They pretty much function identically to the Hydro 5. If you like a Hydro 5 you should enjoy these too.
 
Just finished my first Bic 5 cartridge in the "Mach 5" configuration, using a Mach 3 handle, for which it appears totally compatible.
The head seems a little bigger, and I mostly used the trimmer blade on the very upper lip, below the nose. I got 13 shaves out of it, comparable to the latest titanium coated blades. I usually get about 7 shaves from normal carts (without DLC or titanium). It was best at WTG.
