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

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 WikiWiki 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]The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head. Terry Pratchett

It's very expensive to buy a new handle as it only comes with one blade.
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.MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0 -
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.Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.- Mark TwainArguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon: no matter how good you are at chess, its just going to knock over the pieces and strut around like its victorious.0 -

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?!Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -
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
