Gillette razors - can you use different heads on same razor?

Moneybus

I've got the original handle for the Gilette Venus Razor (blue handle and white head) which came with the Venus Blades with three blades. I've noticed now they do Gilette Embrace blades which have five blades and wondered whether I could use the Embrace blades with my original Gilette Venus handle? I.e is it the same type of head fitting / handle on all the different types of Gilette blades. It's very expensive to buy a new handle as it only comes with one blade.

So does Wiki

Wiki wrote:

Venus is a female version of the Mach3. Mach3 blades can attach to a Venus handle and vice versa.
Venus Divine is a female version of the Mach3 Turbo.
Venus Vibrance is a female version of the M3Power. Venus blades are interchangeable across the line.
Venus Embrace is a five-bladed razor with a ribbon of moisture surrounding the blades.
Venus Breeze is a three-blade razor with shave gel bars built into the head of the razor.
Another version of the Breeze, the Venus Spa Breeze, is essentially the same as the Breeze, but with a white tea scent to the shave gel bars.[3]

All gillette venus blades fit any handle, the quote in the post above is correct:)

Not to mention not environmentally friendly at all.

I use men's razor blade head on female handle (just so me and OH don't get mixed up!) because the men's ones are cheaper.

Their most recent advert confirms that all Venus blades fit all their handles.
The same seems to apply to the men's ones as I have had various handles, and used them with a variety of heads.
I do think that all the handles and heads for men's and women's have exactly the same fittings.

Which supermarket blades fit Gillette razor handles? Does anyone know?

Resurrecting this thread

Got a Gillette Fusion Proglide (I think!) freebie and OH thinks it's great!

Unfortunately the prices of the blades are a bit :eek:

I can see the Mach 3 blades are a bit cheaper, but trying to work out if they'd fit the Fusion handle. I've checked Wiki but it doesn't actually say.

Any ideas?!

None sadly but here's your interesting fact for the day - in Star Wars Ep1, Qui-Gon Jinn's communicator is the handle of a Gillette Sensor for Women
