 A pleasantly ordinary razor Aug 07, 2010
I ordered this razor because I could no longer find blades for my old Schick Tracer. It has a different weight and feel, but it's fine. Two blades per cartridge seem like plenty to me, and I can't justify buying the expensive new cartridges with four or five. I just want an ordinary shave at a reasonable expense, and now I have it for as long as they keep selling Atra/Trac II compatible blades.
Vector Razor Jul 31, 2010
I am pleased to have my vector Razor since I found several refill cartridges recently in a move, but no handle! Great find!

Great Merchant, Almost Equally Great Product! Jul 27, 2010

"Impossible Discounts" makes it "Possible"!
I had become upset when after my old "Atra" from about 15 years ago had been dropped and banged too many times to the point where I felt it was time to purchase a new one, only to discover to my horror that not only is "Atra" not being produced anymore (or so I then thought), but I was expected to be *FORCED* into buying these gawdy ostentatious "4-blade" systems which are so blamed expensive that the department stores are securing them away under lock & key (no dummies, they... OF COURSE something that now costs on average between $2.50 - $3.65 PER CARTRAGE is definitely going to lead to *THEFTS* of the product -- did Gillette and Schick not understand that this would happen ahead of time before they chose to "eliminate" all of our classic "twin blade" alternatives in favor of exposing just how shameless and GREEDY they truly are?)
Anyway, it didn't quite add up to me that "Atra" was no longer being produced, since I can go to the same department store and buy the same cheap no-name "store brand" razor cartrages I've always purchased because I found that they actually work better than the "Gillette" brand-name of the identical product (...and for a lot less cost, I might add). So something wasn't right! If my local department store routinely stocks up on the "Atra-compatible" cartrages, then that tells me that there are still *PLENTY* of "Atra" users out there! So the next question was: "Where are they finding replacement handles when they've contoured their last chin?"
Well... I found the (or at least "an") answer after an internet search and found that "Gillette" is still making what is essentially the "Atra" (and blades) for the Asian markets! It fits my "Atra-compatible" cartridges PERFECTLY! My only complaint (hence, the "4" stars instead of "5") is that it's a "plastic" handle, and thus less sturdy than my decade and a half-old metal handled trusted friend.
An equally pleasant experience was the expedited order! "Impossible Discounts" dispatched the items swiftly and the package arrived (from New Jersey to Hawaii) in unexpectedly fast time! I hope that's everyone's experience. And I can't complain too much about the price, either. Overall, a positive experience. If "I.D." ever comes across metal handled versions of this razor, I'm definitely a repeat customer! Thank you, Guys!
 almost as good as the Original metal Atra holder Jul 25, 2010
I like the plastic Atra Holder almost as much as the Original Metal Atra holder. The plastic one is OK but does not seem to shave as close as the metal holder did and it will take a little while to get used to it after more than 30 years with my same metal Atra holder. Not bad for the price since the metal one was about $50.

Good Product High Shipping Price Apr 08, 2010
Product was as described. Thought $6.+ shipping was high for a $4.+ light weight item.
