Can the Fusion Pro-glide MANUAL blades be used? Anyone try the Manual ones on a Power handle?

The cartridges are interchangeable in terms of all fitting a Fusion handle, but the cartridges are NOT exactly the same. Just like Schick's Quattro line, the "power" cartridge is distinguished from the "manual" one by a small row that's supposed to help stretch out the face for a closer shave (per Schick's marketing) or to help guide the hair to the blade (per Gillette's marking) . Gillette calls this row a "microcomb." Gillette also claims that the ProGlide (both manual and power) Fusion blades are more advanced than the original Fusion blades, with sharper, thinner blades. They all seem to do a good job to me.

If you mean the blades used in Fusion then I guess you can, but if you mean from Mach 3 or any other shaving device, then no.

I searched the web for replacement blades and realized how expensive they were. So, I chose to look on Ebay and find aftermarket ones there. The only thing about using them is they do not adapt to the thumb press release to change blades. You have to use a screw and tightly secure the blade in place. But, the replacements from Ebay are worth the extra "trouble" to use and just as good a blade as Porter Cable.

I use mine with my Parker Sr1 shavette razor, they are decent blades but I have noticed that they are not consistent in sharpness for my preference.

I used them on an ATRA handle, which they click on, so I can't really help if you're using them on another style handle. I reviewed these blades recently, and while I try not to be too negative, these blades rated a "one star" review from me.

Not that I know of. I think this is the only replacement for the blades from Norelco for these razors.For what it's worth, the reason this is more (in addition to all the markup by Norelco) is that you're actually replacing the entire swiveling head of the razor, so there are a lot of parts in this complex assembly. But if you want the smoothest electric shave you can get at home I think this is the price.

I used some replacement blades for a folding dewalt jabsaw. I can't remember exactly which one though. Should be a fairly easy search. Just look at the Dewalt ones.

Don't know if you saw my review or not. I use a Fusion also. It doesn't fit well, but it can fit. You just need to angle it a bit more - until the handle is almost parallel to the unit. This is not the recommended angle but I find that it still works - it restores my blade just fine.

I can't follow the question. I have the Feather and an Above the Tie slant razor. The Feather is much more comfortable and should be left alone. I think the handle might fit, however.

Don't know about Gillette Fusion specifically, but generally it works great with any kind of electric razor.

I plan on buying whatever razor I like and modifying its handle if need be with some duck tape (a few or many turns to make it fatter and stick in there securely). I wouldn't worry too much about getting something "compatible" if you are a fix-it type. Also, such surely beats paying 72 bucks for their "warhammer" model which seems about as effective at everything as this one.

I've used the Derby, but I like the Astra way better. It's just a much smoother shave for me. YMMV of course. I have 2 small kids, and a place to put the used blades is always a concern. You can get a "Blade Safe" for about $5 on Amazon. I know Feather makes one. All it is, is a small plastic box that cannot be opened. It has a slit in the top to put your used blades. It holds a couple hundred blades. After it's full, chuck it in your recycle container, and you're done.

NO. An electric trimmer does not have the power to spin these blades. You need a 22 cu in gas engine to use this attachment.

Double edge persona blade or shark blades work well too. Once you put it in between the clamps an close the lever to lock it in, it works wonders.

You may simply need to use a little extra pressure. I had been using an Atra when I bought this razor and had to press a little harder to get my blades to fit. It seems to be working fine now. Hope this works for you.

I don't see how-they would be unstable with the hole fitting and would not curve properly. Why would you want to do this? It doesn't seem reasonable as there are a number of very good shavers out there that would accommodate the blade.

The blade designed for the Power model includes an additional "comb" at the leading edge which lifts and arranges the whiskers before the blades slice through them. But any fusion blade can be used with any fusion handle, power or otherwise.
