Headblade, using other razor blades

[nille12345]

Hi,
I have been using Headshave for a while, but Headblade´s own blades are very expensive. Does anybody know of compatible cheaper blades?

I've been using Sensor or Sensor Excel twin blades in my Headblade Sport model for years with the black adapter. I think the yellow adapter takes Atra type. Sensor twins can be found pretty cheap on Ebay.

Here's a link that details which model/adapter and blades will work.

What blades can be used with the HeadBlade?

There are 3 main adapters for the HeadBlade:Yellow Adapter (HB2/HB3):Gillette Double and Triple bladesGillette Atra Blades and Atra Plus (USA)Any blade that says they are compatible with Gillette Atra : adapter will work with the HeadBlade Original, Sport, ATX & MOTO Adapter (Sensor Adapter):Gil

Thanks.
I am thinking of buying a Headblade ATX, but I am a bit confused when it comes to using other blades. Do you keep the original Headblade adapter to be able to use Gillette blades?

If I buy a Headblade ATX is the sensor adapter then included or is this something will have to buy elsewhere?

Welcome to the forum !!

With my Sport, the yellow plus the black adapter was included. I can't be certain on the ATX... perhaps contact Headblade via their website and they will happily answer any questions.

edit: on the Sport, the original/installed adapter was the yellow one which accepts the Atra style or the HB blades. The black adapter is the one needed for using Gillette Sensor blades.
